It is very important for lonely elderly people to feel needed and to see themselves cared for. They need help and attention.
Due to health-related limitations, older people are unable to take care of themselves adequately. They need help in many different ways, from essential food and medicines to everyday household tasks and simple companionship. Many people find it difficult to walk to the shop or carry heavy groceries, or to move around the house.
Within the framework of the project ‘We are near’ volunteers of the Foundation regularly visit them to measure their blood pressure, buy necessary medicines and foodstuffs, clean the house and prepare meals.
Volunteers do their best to surround elderly people with attention and care, solve their urgent problems and provide for their current needs.
Thanks to this collection, we will be able to provide 41 people with food so that they can receive full nutrition and take care of their health. We will also buy necessary medicines for those who struggle with illnesses and financial difficulties on a daily basis.
In addition, we will donate heaters to provide warmth in their homes and create a cosy atmosphere on cold winter days.
