Cares and concerns from the community, pouring in right now, from the Front Page Sections, translated…

“Turns Out, We’re Not, Completely, Forgotten, by the World”…
“Uncle, here’s a new coat for you, do you need your sheets changed?”, “Uncle, let us, help you get a better place to live in………”, the UDN Papers report of “Elderly population who lived alone” had turned the originally, icy cold apartment compound warmer, with the resources donated by the community.
The normally darkened apartment complex that the elderly lived in had an influx of caring and concerns from the community yesterday, and, the elderly who were already, used to living in this small space seemed to have difficulties, adjusting to the changes, some had started crying, and as they wiped their tears away, stated, “Thank you so very much! Turns out, we’d not become, completely, forgotten by the outside world.”

A man who lived in a small compound who’d become immobilized because of a stroke, Chen was moved, told, that ordinarily, nobody gave a dam, and would remain silent throughout the entire day, and yesterday, he’d smiled, so very, radiantly, “If there can be so many who’d come visit every single day…”, sharing conversations with others, it’d, lifted the moods.
And so, these elderly people in the population are requiring the rest of the community to show them the cares and concerns that they seek, and, at old age, the elderly are still, craving human contact, because we are a social animal, and, being with others is how we feel important, that we can still, contribute to the world, and this group of elderly had been, forgotten by the world already, which is why, as the volunteers visited them, they were all, very happy to see people that actually, cared enough, to show them some concerns, to let them know, that we hadn’t forgotten about them at all!
