My older brother, 86, who lives in Connecticut, is in a nursing home/rehab facility. He will probably be there the rest of his life. He gets dialysis three times a week and is currently applying for medicaid. For the second time in 3 months he has lost his fairly new iPhone. He found it the first time but we have been searching for six weeks and have been unable to locate it. We contacted the dialysis center, the transportation company, the nursing home and the hospital where he is now - in a state of delirium due to who knows what - he clawed at his dialysis port and developed sepsis.
He seems to be doing okay now and will be returning to the nursing home in a day or two.
Anyway we are looking for used cell phone to send to him. We plan to get a lanyard for it so he can keep it around his neck 24/7.
If any of you have an older unlocked iphone (or Verizon) you are not using and are willing to sell it to us reasonably it will be greatly appreciated. He just needs to be able to make/receive calls, texts and maybe do email so it doesn¡¯t have to be sophisticated - just a decent battery and the ability to be wiped clean so I can reset it for him.
(A friend recently got a new iPhone and gave us her old iPhone 6s (11-12 years old). However she doesn¡¯t know her iCloud password so we can¡¯t wipe the phone - we can¡¯t even update the OS because it requires a connection to a computer with iTunes!
Thanks to everyone on this list for all you do.
Harry
