KO’s visit to Marwell Zoo
There is nothing we love more than hearing about our customer’s success stories, even more so when it’s in their own words!
Below is a story from KO and how his amazing network of friends came together to assist and support him with a special request.
Story from KO:
I suffer from Mental Health issues and physical disabilities and have been with SCA Home Care for a few years now and they help and support me with my social needs. This year has been particularly difficult, both financially and emotionally.
Many of my online friends knew I was struggling this year, so, without my knowledge, they pitched in and raised a little extra money for me. They told me it was for a day out with my SCA Home Care carer, in the hope it may ease the tough time I am going through. I was bowled over and couldn’t believe my friends’ generosity!
I told SCA Home Care of this amazing generosity and that I wished to spend those funds on a day out with my regular Carer, Hubert. Within a day I was informed that Hubert had been booked for an entire, the following week and we were off to Marwell Zoo!
It was a wonderful day out. It started a bit wet; weather can be unpredictable this time of year but we made sure to be dressed appropriately and we didn’t let it dampen our spirits. I managed to rent a wheel chair for the day and I did feel a little sorry for Hubert as he had to push me around for most of the day, but he certainly got a work out.
We saw many animals but time got away from us eventually. We left just as another dark cloud threatened to rain down on us again.
I want to say a massive Thank You to Hubert for a great day out and Thank You to SCA Home Care for helping to organise my day trip out on such short notice. It certainly helped to lighten my mood.
