Everything ‘mattress’ with GoodGym

2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Newcastle.

Quick mission to enable a poorly gent to return home to his lovely wife and awesome dog Henry, for his end of life care. Having spent some time chatting with his wife and learning of the really sad situation they are going through, it was an absolute pleasure to move the mattress out the way to make room for Mr J’s hospital bed and allow him to gain some comfort and peace in familiar surroundings in his final weeks.

This mission was very sad but worthwhile and the cuddles from the very friendly and playful Henry definitely put a smile on mine and Emily’s faces!
