During the time when Cold Weather Warnings had been issued in the past few months, the temperature drop and rain imposed challenge to the elderly who are physically weak. Care and greetings will provide them with the warmth they need.
Grandma Wong is a petite old lady living alone. She has lost her appetite with age and suffers from malnutrition. Weighting less than 80lb, she relies on milk powder for nutrition and Epoetin injections. Her health and the cold weather are worrisome for our social workers.
Our social workers usually would give Grandma Wong a visit or a call to check on her, so it was a surprise when they received a call from Grandma Wong herself. She sounded thrilled over the phone and gave compliments on the festive hot meal ‘Fish Maw with Shrimp Paste’, which was a longforgotten dish she used to have in the dim sum place, and it boosted her appetite. She felt energized and warm after having this special meal.
'Fish Maw with Shrimp Paste’ is a special meal from the ‘Delivering Love’ programme. It provides meals with festive elements, and we hope to celebrate the festivals with our members through this programme. A simple hot meal carries our blessings to the elderly, with the food we hope to share love and warmth around the clock.
