Testimony
by Mrs Pay:
My husband began to be withdrawn and refused to talk after the operation
to amputate his left limb. As he was wheelchair-bound, I have to attend
to his daily needs and take over the breadwinner’s role which was
very stressful to me. Both of us felt that our future was very bleak and
we were at a loss as to what to do.
After I got
to know about Neighbourhood Link, they made arrangements
for their volunteers to help him when he underwent
his physiotherapy at the rehabilitation centre. When
he was discharged, the volunteers made weekly
home visits to give him encouragement.
After a year,
I noticed that my husband had regained his confidence.
With the attachment of an artificial limb, he
is now able to walk without the walking stick.
He is also able to walk all the way happily to
Neighbourhood Link to join in the music rhythmic
exercise every morning.
Now he has
also signed up to be a Neighbourhood Link Batch
3 volunteer. Through his experience, he hoped
to encourage and inspire other needy elderly.
太太李咏黛的感言:
先生在刚接受切除手术后，开始封闭自己，不愿开口说话。
在截肢后，他由于他须靠轮椅代步，生活上得仰赖我的照顾
及维持生计，深感吃力。夫妻俩对未来的日子感到灰暗和
彷徨无助。
在认识傳神后，因着义工每星期去复健中心细心地协助做
物理治疗外，并在他出院后，安排义工定时探访鼓励，
经一年多后，我先生终于重拾信心。在装义肢后，不但
无需用拐杖，他还能每天早上带着愉悦的心情自己走到
傳神做氧生操。现在还主动成为第三期义工并藉着自己
的例子来鼓励其他的个案。
