CAN ANYONE HELP ME? ADVICE NEEDED!

Hi Neighbours

Hi Neighbours

My stroke-disabled husband has died and we need to vacate his St Albans apartment by Monday, 6th May. He bought a King Single Electric Adjustable bed from Harvey Norman in late February, and enjoyed it for 3 weeks before going into hospital. I have no idea how or where to sell it and, with no family in Christchurch, have nowhere to store it. (I live in a separate pensioner flat.)

Does anybody know of any individual ... or a hospital, hospice, or rest home that might be interested in acquiring it for use by a patient or resident? Are there private organisations that look after disabled people who need something bigger than a standard single bed?

In a very stressful situation, I don't know where to start. Your suggestions would be most appreciated.

The bed cost $5500, and has always been used with a mattress protector. It is in as-new condition. Will sell for $4000 to reflect short notice and the buyer's need to collect and transport the bed. Viewing can be arranged. Photos on request.

Please contact Margaret Quin on 022 642 6615 if you can help. Txt or phone. Or email me on mqfamilyemails@gmail.com

Sincere thanks
Marg Quin
