Entry Description

This product is designed to convey love to the elderly who live alone, who are less likely to be cared for by the younger generation, and elderly people rarely express their emotional needs, which makes them marginalized. Since younger generation may give up communication for lack of proper language expression or suitable time. This product helps young people to diversify their ways of expressing love. It makes care palpable and increases the possibility of inter-generational communication, which gives the elderly living alone more opportunities to feel the care from the younger generation.
