She needed a walking stick for support as her feet tends to be weak. She is unable to cook herself because she cant carry those heavy grocery back home. She had to go to the nearby market to packet her food daily.She is now depending on those medication to ease the pain she have been going through for the past couple of years. She doesn't had the strength to do a daily house cleaning due to her problem she's facing. She only manage to clean her house twice in a year and she spent a couple of days to finish cleaning it .
Her children hardly visit her and they always said that they are busy they didn't even give her allowance to spent. Therefore she had to depend on her CPF funds for a living. In order to survive herself she picks up cardboard and cans on the street to help with her income as her medication is very expensive which she can't afford.
She had trouble visiting the toilet, as she is having difficulty in squatting down and standing up from the toilet as it is a squatting toilet because of her back and leg problems.Her toilet doesn't fit for the elderly as it does not have any support like handle railings by the side nor any anti- slip Matt on the ground. I hope there would be more volunteer social worker to help out these elderly physically or mentally.
