Carrot it to the 4th floor
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Camden.
- Tuesday, 6th of September 2022
Gosia helped today with doing some urgent essential shopping for M ๐๐โค. This was her first mission after a longerย break which made it especially exciting ๐คฉ.
M has just recently came back from a serious operation ๐ฅ and now really struggles to walk. Unfortunately the lift in her block doesn't work (for a longer time ๐) making it impossible for her to go shopping in the local shop. She said that last week she didn't get to do any shopping at all.
I have turned up at the front door (4th floor) few minutes before 1 pm. I was warmly welcomed by M, who gave me the shopping list ๐, few shopping bags ๐ and ยฃ20 pounds in cash ๐ท. Everything perfectly prepared ๐.
I went to a local Tesco which is a usual place where M would do her shopping. I put an extra effort to ensure all the fruits ๐๐๐ and veggies ๐ฅ๐ฅ M requested are with a longer "best before" in case. I could find everything that was requested in the shopping list and able to pay in cash using the money I got from M.
I was back at M's door after 40 min (damn stairs!), then she asked me to carry the bags inside (which I did). The entire mission was successful and just reassured me how important and valuable is what GG โค does.
