Hey Doc, nice thought and effort! YOu are a good neighbor
.
Goodluck w/ the fixing! However, should the tv be beyond reasonable repair, I echo the other ideas suggested and have a few of my own...
Most communities have some type of RSVP program- Retired Seniors Volunteer Projects. RSVP programs are often independent non-profit entities but can be groups organized by hospitals or churches. Might give such an organization a call- they are all about seniors who fall into the catergory you describe. Also, Catholic Charities (call your local catholic church for further info), Good Will, COP programs (community outreach police- in most communities, police program that is very active with community donations, gifts or various other referral opportunities during the holidays targeted toward atrisk children and seniors)... etc. A little poking around your community could/should spotlight a few potential resources for your neighbor, heck, might even check out the local Food Bank program, they may have more ideas or directions.
Goodluck! Just dont get too frustrated if ya dont get much this time a year- many resources are utilized and sometimes over-utilized during the busy season.
Take care.
