Third time's a charm 🍀
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Lewisham.
- Saturday, 7th of August 2021
Mr. J has been asking GoodGym to mown his lawn for sometime now and since he is into his 90s, he asks his neighbour, Mr. H to help out. It was Mr. H who I called on Saturday morning to say we had to reschedule the mission as the rain was relentless. We rescheduled it to Sunday morning.
Come Sunday morning, the rain started pouring and so, I called Mr. H and said let's see what the afternoon's weather is like and we'll make a final decision. Come 17:00, it had been sunny for two hours, but the lawn was still damp. Yet, Mr. H asked me to come over as he did not want to delay the mission again. I happily came over and started to mown the lawn despite the gras being slightly wet. We managed to mown 4/5 of the lawn before the lawn mower finally gave up. It was tackling quite high grass and I'm surprised it lasted that long. Still Mr. H, Mr. J and his wife were very pleased and thankful, which was great to see.
