Seeking support for an elderly man in Perth who is facing deep emotional and financial hardship.

In a quiet corner of Perth, he sits alone in a small home that has grown quieter with each passing year. Once filled with the warmth of family and laughter, his home now echoes with silence—a silence that began when he lost his beloved wife, followed just a year later by the sudden death of his son.
Grief has wrapped itself around his life like a heavy blanket. Now in his later years, he faces each day with little companionship and even less support. He doesn’t own a phone—no way to call for help, no way to hear a familiar voice, no way to schedule the medical appointments that are becoming more critical as he ages. His microwave isn’t working either. He, who barely eats and no longer cooks proper meals, it was one of the few ways he could manage daily life. We are seeking the kindness of others to help him reconnect with the world: with a phone to speak to his child and his doctors, and a microwave to help him prepare the meals he struggles to make. Let him know he’s not forgotten.
