Future treatment/therapy for vision and the cost

I’m in my 40s and have been out of work for a few years due to an eye disease called Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), which is a progressive condition that can eventually cause severe vision loss.

There is currently a Phase 3 clinical trial in the US for a potential treatment. If it gets regulatory approval, hopefully it can become available in Singapore in the next few years. But one of my biggest concerns is the cost. I understand the treatment might cost up to US$1 million per therapy.

I only have a five-figure amount in my MediSave, so obviously that is nowhere near enough.

Does anyone know if there are any government agencies, schemes, charities or other forms of assistance in Singapore that could help with the cost of something like this?

There is also another therapy currently in Phase 1/2 trials in the US which could restore vision, but that will probably take even longer before it becomes available.

Cheated twice, time to move on

My ex-girlfriend cheated on me twice. I gave the relationship another chance, but I think it's time to move on.

Even now, she keeps asking me for loans. When it's time to repay, there's always another excuse to postpone it. She keeps getting my hopes up and then changing her mind. Honestly, it feels like she's just wasting my time... who wants a relationship where you only meet once a year?

A female friend (she's married) suggested I find someone better.

I'm tired of being lonely and just want to meet someone new. No dating apps though, I've been using them for years and I'm done with them.

Beside socialise and hobby, I'm just looking out for someone here.

I’m a private person and don’t share details about my personal relationships publicly.

Thank you.

A good theme with best accessibility

Here's a cleaner version:

There are tons of themes out there these days — any recommendations beyond the usual suspects like Kadence, GeneratePress, etc.? Looking for less well-known options worth being aware of, whether from Automattic or other. Share me what you know!
