Bedder Luck Next Time
2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Hounslow.
- Saturday, 6th of May 2023
Here's what Mr C of W6 had to say about the mission:
Feedback from the referrer: "It appears that Mr C spread his web of support over a large area. I was not aware that anyone else had been asked to complete this task. Mr C was adament he needed support with this task. I apologise and thank you both for trying. I am very happy his bed has been replaced."
Michelle and I were on for our second good deed of the day, making our way on bike from Fulham Palace up to Hammersmith in the teeming rain.
After a bit of a kerfuffle finding Mr C’s place (we didn’t have a house number on our mission listing), we rang the doorbell and were let in by Mr C’s perplexed looking carer.
It transpires that the bed for Mr C had already been moved earlier in the week, and he had a shiny new hospital bed in its place already. There wasn’t much for us to do then, other than apologise to Mr C for disturbing his watching of the Coronation, and we head back off out into the rain for our ride home.
