Report written by Sevan
To round off the weekend, Kash and Sevan were shopping for a new beneficiary, Mr N, who suffered with Asperger's syndrome. It made it hard for him to go to crowded places as they made him anxious, so he'd requested help from GoodGym to deliver his weekly shop. As an Iceland shopper, his groceries ended up being quite bulky and heavy. Having 2 people and pairs of hands was actually really helpful to get everything back to Mr N's flat.
Inside the flat Kash and Sevan were curious why Mr N had asked them to buy dog food when they could see cat feeders and litter trays on the floor. It turned out that Mr N didn't actually own any pets at all. He was caring for stray animals in the community, who he found to be much more agreeable (and less destructive) than humans. The dog food was for a local fox that Mr N had taken a liking to and the cat feeders were for a couple of strays that had been abandoned by another resident in his block. Despite having his own problems, Mr N took the time and effort to care for others in his neighbourhood, but only the ones living good lives.
