Run and deliver
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Wandsworth.
- Wednesday, 29th of April 2020
After checking with Mr B on the phone I ran over to the pharmacy to collect his prescription. There was a bit of confusion regarding Mr B's address - the pharmacy had a different address on record and said I must have his old address. I couldn't reach him on the phone so headed to the address listed on the prescription - but no sign of Mr B! Luckily a very chatty neighbour confirmed that he had moved to the address that GoodGym had given me, so I headed over there and handed over the medicine. Mr B looked a bit disappointed - many of the items were missing! By this time the pharmacy had closed but I headed back there early this morning to nab the second place in the queue. They gave me the rest of Mr B's prescription and I ran back to his house to deliver it. He was much happier this time, and also asked me to top up his electricity card. Mission finally accomplished!
