Report for Elderly Service on 28 Dec (By Ka Woon)

Participants: Ee Hwee, Jia Hwee, Alan, Chuxi, Ka Woon

Collected from Sci yong tau foo and bought porridge from Blk 3 hawker centre.

Things to Note:

1. Neighbours say that Aunty Roseita is still in hospital. We gave her food to the Blk 13 Uncle Lai again (he has been interviewed but not officially approved to be in our list yet). He usually waits at the shelter, but kindly give him the food only after we finish distributing everyone else in case no extra.
2. Give out Aunty Roseita's Grant-A-Wish groceries to other elderly that need it e.g. Uncle Sng
3. Buy another XL shirt for Aunty Leow. The one that our donor bought is too small for Aunty Leow and it should be short-sleeved.
4. We have budget for Uncle Edward's table fan. Try to get Sanyo brand (not Sonar as I previously wrote).

Other updates:
1. Uncle Sng says that his son has gone overseas to study and did not leave any money for him. He is very worried about his daily meals. Perhaps we could check with Blk 8 Residents' Committee to see how we can help him get financial aid / food.
2. Aunty Nelly will be transferred to Pacific Health Care Nursing Home on 2 Jan. Perhaps we can pay her a visit soon. Her friends Ah Ma Choy, Arthritis Ah Ma and Aunty Lee ask about her every week. Also, since Aunty Nelly will no longer move back home, we can consider giving her food to the ppl on our waiting list? @Chuxi
3. Aunty Seah having headache, she said she hasn't been feeling well.
4. Aunty Lee says the rice cooker we gave is too big. However we don't have budget to get another one, and her current one is still working fine.
5. Uncle Ho Chew was visibly elated and surprised with the groceries we gave him. He does his own cooking so the oil, soya sauce, rice and salt come in handy for him.

Report for Elderly Service on 21 Dec & Grant-A-Wish on 25 Dec (By Ka Woon)

Participants: Jia Hwee, Alan, Tingting, Zhao Hang, Ka Woon
Grant-A-Wish Distribution: Ee Hwee, Jia Hwee, Jarrod, Ka Woon

Sorry for this awfully late post! Too happy holidaying~

Only supposed to have Sci canteen Muslim stall, but Chinese Noodles/Yong Tau Foo (forgot which one) stall also gave us food. They said the following week (which is tmr) they won't be giving us food. Maybe we should tally our roster with them again.

Summary:
1. Check if Aunty Roseita is in hospital.
2. Give out Uncle Ho Chew and Aunty Leow's presents.
3. Might need to buy main food tmr.

More details if you have time to read:

Not at home on both 21 & 25 Dec:
1. Aunty Roseita. Her neighbour says she went to hospital a few days ago. However that does not explain why we can't find her at home since 23rd Nov. We can try to find out more from her neighbours.

Also, there was spoiled food hanging on her door with flies buzzing around, so we did not leave our food. We gave the extra pack to an Uncle Lai fom Blk 13 whom we previously interviewed.

2. Uncle Peter. His housemate Uncle Wong was in.
3. Uncle Ho Chew.

Grant-A-Wish:
1. Left Uncle Ho Chew, Aunty Leow, Aunty Roseita.
2. Uncle Edward asked us for a small table fan (Sona brand if possible, smthg like below), in addition to the groceries that he received. Pls check with Chuxi if we still have budget.
3. Cantonese Uncle didn't need grocery items (he has cooking oil, light soya sauce, instant noodles, biscuits, coffee, rice etc.). He passed us instant noodles, toothpaste, Anlene milk powder, biscuits to give to other elderly. In fact, he only drinks Cafe 21 3-in-1 coffee, and Milo. We can get those next time.

Report for Elderly Service on 7th December, 2013 (By Sue Yi)

Participants: Chuxi, Ee Hwee, Liao Jia, Jia Hwee, Sue Yi, Gary Wong, Alan Teh

All the food was collected from Arts Canteen today, including the fruits.

We also brought along some of the Christmas gifts to give out to the elderly today.

Aunty Nelly side:

New uncle (Uncle Sng) were not at home. We hung the food outside his door.

Aunty Roseita is sick. Check on her again next week!

Uncle Ali side:

Aunty Lee Ah Hong was not in today, so we couldn’t return her her bedsheets, give her her Christmas gift (rice cooker) or her food

Uncle Ali was not in today.

. Uncle Paul broke his thumb last week because he slipped while going downstairs to buy chilli powder. When we met him, it was in a cast and he was writing Christmas cards, so hopefully his condition is not severe.

Uncle Hoo (Block 3, 08-105) will be receiving a $100 Angpao from an organization on the 15^th of December (he asked us to read the card for him). Next week’s IC can remind him of the date and to stay at home to wait for them (:

Things to note:

1. Give out more of the Christmas presents next week. Get them from Chuxi

2. Return Aunty Lee’s bedsheets as well as give her the Christmas gift.

3.. Check on the elderly who weren’t home this week.

4. Remind Uncle Hoo of his $100 Angpao.
