Here's what Ms Z of W4 had to say about the mission:

Feedback from referrer: Thank you so much for the amazing support from the volunteer to get Mrs Z task completed. Mrs Z has the assurance now that the leak in the house will soon be a thing of the past with the brilliant work you are doing to support vulnerable people. Thank you

Ms Z of W4, mission beneficiary

After finishing the painting task at Feltham, Madhan loaded himself with a nice meal at an Indian Restaurant and went to his mission in Kew Bridge. When he arrived at Ms.Z's destination, he knocked on the door and heard a sound saying "coming". A few seconds later lovely Ms.Z welcomed him warmly and has the list and the cash ready. Madhan went through the list, and it felt like a foreign language for him, as he is not that familiar with plumbing/hardware materials. Ms.Z gave enough input that made Madhan at ease.

Ms.Z asked Madhan whether he knows where the shops are. He said Google map is his ally. Ms.Z said, she never used Google for maps. He then went to the nearest B&Q and got anxious seeing the size of the shop and the variety of items. After 15 minutes of walking back and forth, he decided to ask the B&Q staff for help. They pointed him in the right direction. Then in a matter of minutes, all the things were bought and safely handed over to Ms. Z.
