Woman living alone
in a cold, wet flat
Mrs. Thriscott is 68 years old. She used to live alone on the top floor of an old house. Her flat was cold, wet and full of draughts(风); there was no hot water, and it was virtually impossible for her to keep warm. When she wanted to go out, she faced climbing up and down a hundred steps in all.
Then she applied to Help the Aged for a new flat. Since she moved into the new place which Help the Aged has provided, Mrs Thriscott is a changed woman. "My great thrill (兴奋), of course, is hot baths every day. I’ve never been cold since I’ve been here. My health is wonderful, perfect! People tell me I look years younger."
Help the Aged also helps provide day centers where old people find care and companion-ship.
