The senior has high risk of falls and does not have a proper chair to be placed at home. He is retired and has no close NOKs. To prevent fall risks, we would need a kind donor to provide a chair to be placed in his living room. Preferably to be 1) a stationary chair or fixed chair adjustable height with comfort sitting 2) To have sturdy armrests to support him when standing and/or sitting down 3) if have wheels, the chair is easily locked as he can glide over to other parts of the room without the need to stand, and to assist him to stand while the lock is on. Please reach out to me at 8126 2493 if further details are needed. Thanks!
