He's eighty-seven, ahs sight only in one eye and has great difficulty in breathing. Even a short walk down to the local shops would prove far too much for him. And to make matters worse, he had to move form his own home in East London to his new flat, because he was unable to live by himself any longer. Regular transport to an old people's Day Center would make all the difference.

$ 4 is a real help towards another center.
$ 30 helps provide a Geriatric (老年病的)Day Hospital.
