Final Wish

1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Lewisham.

End of life is an emotional time, given a choice, most would chose for this to happen at home rather than hospital. This was the decision taken by Mr R, to enable this to happen, a sofa had to be moved from his living room to enable a hospital bed too be delivered. After difficulty finding the entrance, I met a social worker at the property, together we maneuvered the sofa into another room. We both left with the satisfaction that we helped make someone's final wish come true.
