🌟 Meet Hilda Pannell, a spirited 96-year-old great-grandmother who just wants a little help to step outside her home safely. After stumbling twice outside her beloved bungalow, she’s been waiting anxiously for a simple handrail installation for over 85 days and counting. 😔
Since March, Hilda has been reaching out tirelessly to her local council and other organisations. But until her story came to light in the media, her pleas fell on deaf ears. Despite receiving priority status from the council back in June, no progress has been made, leaving Hilda housebound and frustrated.
Hilda settled in her bungalow 32 years ago. It’s her “forever home,” filled with memories of her late husband and her years serving as a carer and dinner lady. All she needs now is for the handrail to extend to the end of her path so she can regain her independence and peace of mind.
Her determination is awe-inspiring. Hilda is not giving up, and neither should we! Let’s rally around and support our elders in our communities, ensuring they live with dignity and safety. 🙏💪
Let’s keep the conversation going and make sure Hilda gets the help she deserves. Share her story, raise awareness, and perhaps offer a helping hand if you can. Together, we can make a difference. ❤️
