Carer goes above and beyond.

A pair of elderly frail, wrinkled hands resting on a lap with a black and white checked dress over it.

“I have been experiencing kindness while looking after my frail, elderly mother. We now have a carer coming for three hours each weekday morning: she only started last week, and has already rejigged some of her other commitments in order to be able to offer me additional respite on some evenings.

And Mum’s long-term companionship visitor gave me a hug in the hallway the other day as I must have looked like I needed one. She also brought homemade cake on her next visit.”

One of our Kindness Ambassadors sent this lovely story of kindness to us. We of course are sending lots of love to them at such a hard time.
