Hey gals, I actually wanted to post this last week when i read the news article but didnt..
Ok, this is the story:
An ailing 80++ old man living in kg bahru i think, is hoping for someone to clean up his house. He is a lonely man who has neither kin nor people he can depend on apart from some welfare staff who comes once in a while to deliver food stuff to him. He NEEDS to clean up his house coz his neighbors have made complaints about bed bugs (from the old man's unit) invading their houses. But thats not the key reason why we should help. Truth is, the old man is not spared from the bugs either. Hes suffering badly from some skin allergy that is apparently caused by the bites. His pillow has even turned black. (yes, it was really black from the photo shown on the article). The reporter actually asked him why didnt he clean up the house and he said he doesnt have the strength to do so. He is desperately wishing for someone to render help.
So if anyone is interested to help in any way, i will dig out the article and email the reporter to see if we can arrange to help this pathetic old man. But of coz, volunteers needs to be:
1) not scare of dirtiness
2) not afraid of bugs
3) able to chip in little cash (to get him some necessities)
updates: found the article already so am able to contact the reporter anytime but will most probably send the email on tue ^^
