Some People Need Our Help
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Liverpool.
- Thursday, 20th of May 2021
I have been to D's house before. I was there to do some shopping for her before the first lockdown. She has an incurable illness and is struggling more and more over time and so it was lovely to be able to go back and help her move some furniture so that she can get around her house more easily. I also got some DVD's and books from upstairs as she cannot now use stairs easily. I chatted with her for a little while as well as I know that sometimes that is the most useful thing we can do as volunteers: give the people we visit some of our time just to chat and hopefully make them laugh a little.
Another truly humbling task and D was so pleased to know that there are people out there who care. If you are reading this and would like to get involved please don't hesitate to contact Good Gym and you can be helping others in no time and you will be making our society a much better place.
