Singaporean activist Gilbert Goh shared how his team agreed to help an elderly woman clean her home and she then broke down in tears.
She is unable to do the cleaning due to suffering a condition that affects her mobility.
Here is his post
A elderly woman in tears after the team agrees to clean her windows – the only part of the super-clean house which she can’t access due to her mobility condition.
It’s difficult to see a elderly woman breaking down and we took turns to talk to her.
We thought of returning another day to do the cleaning but a volunteer suggests doing it on the spot.
We took around twenty minutes to do the job and subsequently the impromptu act moved her to tears.
Maybe it’s being a while someone took the time and be kind to her without any condition.
We also passed her our bento meals and $50 angbao.
It was a very good day indeed for all of us.
Do something good for Singapore – a charity movement to alleviate the hardships of displaced elderly Singaporeans.
