Jakob

Visually impaired Jakob was looking for someone to accompany him at a concert. Usually he has managed with the help of his friends-acquaintances, but this time he found help through Helpific. “Everything went smoothly, the person was accompanying a visually impaired person for the first time, but since it is not a very difficult job, she learned it very well”. Jakob considers it natural that from the co-operation between the helper and the assisted, both should gain something. “Volunteer work is nice, but I can’t take advantage of a person and her free time, even if she herself agrees with it.”

“One day my good friend Laur suggested that I could accompany Jakob at an event. Since I had never helped a person with a special need before, I was a bit nervous, I was worried whether I will manage. When I met Jakob, the tension was dropped right away, because Jakob was very friendly and a good communicator from the very beginning. I quickly learned how to accompany a visually impaired person. It is not difficult at all! The event went very smoothly and I gained a very good experience that evening.”
