Mission

I'd Bed That This was the Speediest Mission Ever!

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

  • Emily
  • Andrew Ralph
 
Sunday, 6th of December 2020

Andy and I went to help put Mr R's mattress back on his bed. Ambulance staff had to take it off when they took him to hospital, so it was in his living room.

After a chat with Mr R's partner we headed up to the flat to move the mattress. Although hefty, it took us about 30 seconds to do! Mr R's partner was so grateful that she gave us a box of chocolates which was very kind. Andy and I argued over who was going to take them as we're both on a diet! But it was decided that Andy's 3 boys would offer a suitable home for them.

Although we were only at Mr R's flat for a few minutes, it was clear that GoodGym made a significant impact here. Now his partner can get his bed ready for him to come home from hospital and enjoy a peaceful Christmas.
