I promised myself that this Christmas I will not only think about my own wants. There are many people who spend Christmas alone due to the fact that they do not have relatives, or are not visited at homes they live in. I promised myself that I will not only think about these vulnerable people, but I will also try to help them – and I found the most unique way to do so.
Nahsebfik.com is a website that tries to grant the wishes of such elderly people. Besides the fact that they might be spending Christmas alone, these elderly individuals also face many health problems. Social workers are contributing their free time to try to fulfil their wishes.
How does it work?
On the website, you will find a number names of the elderly with what they wish. Most of them ask for clothing items, such as slippers, nightdresses, towels and underwear. When you click on the name, another window emerges showing you the clothing size/shoe size of the individual. It also asks you for your name and surname, mobile number and e-mail address. After you confirm to fulfil this wish, a confirmation e-mail is sent. The social worker in charge of the elderly should contact you within 3 days to tell you where the elderly lives and when you can go to deliver the gift, or where you can send it to.
There are two ways you can deliver the gift: either by sending it via post to the address which the social worker will provide you with, or by delivering it to them yourself.
I have already confirmed to complete two wishes, and I am sure that I will be granting more. Let us be thankful for all that we have during this festive season, but let us not forget these people and try our best to give them a helping hand.
