On September 29, 2015, LeLing staff came to the north octagonal community and sent "accompany doll" to the elderly people living alone for accompany.We hope "accompany doll" can reduce the loneliness of the elderly, and comfort them.
This time we came to the home of aunt Chen. Aunt Chen is 72 years old this year.She has a bad physical condition.She has high blood pressure and heart disease for many years. Auntie Chen's husband died in the early years and they only had one adopted daughter. As sons and daughters wanted to compete for the old man's property, they often quarrel and their daughter rarely visited so the elderly in her home do not have access to care.Physical frailty and mental blow making elderly people suffering from depression.Aunt Chen depressed all day long at home, and had few communications with neighbors .
We took the" accompanying dolls", milk and cookies to visit the elderly.Auntie Chen was very excited and holding our staff’s hand,not loosen .Senior workers Wang Li chatted with Auntie Chen and helped ease pressure of the elderly. Auntie Chen was holding the companion doll with tears.The tears was full of moving, joy and release of loneliness.Aunt Chen said: "I want to put the baby on the bed every day"We hope that the elderly people could have less loneliness and more warmth by the "accompany doll".
