76-year-old Terminal Cancer Patient, lives alone with mental health concerns
GIVIT
Christmas 2025
We’re seeking support for a 76-year-old man who is facing terminal cancer and undergoing daily chemotherapy. He lives alone and also struggles with mental health challenges, which make everyday tasks—especially preparing and eating meals—extremely difficult.
Recently, his microwave broke down. For him, a microwave isn’t just a convenience—it’s essential. Without it, he’s unable to prepare simple meals, and this puts his health and nutrition at serious risk. Eating is already a challenge, and without a working microwave, he may go without food altogether.
Your donation will go directly toward purchasing a new microwave, helping him maintain some independence and ensuring he can continue to eat safely and regularly. Even a small contribution can make a meaningful difference in his life.
