Kerstin

Kerstin has offered help through Helpific to a number of people and she shared her latest experience with us: “Helping Mare was a very pleasant experience as were my previous experiences. This time I got acquainted with a great and active person who broadened my overall understanding about mobility disability, and helped me to remind myself that in reality, our closest ones are those we tend to forget to help in the every-day mess. I have recalled this fact repeatedly when someone has asked me what it is that I do so then I talk about Helpific. Then I mention that once I got rid of old stuff from my cellar in connection with helping someone else. Meaning that when I was planning to take Mare’s old things to the waste ground, I also loaded my own unnecessary things on the truck.”

Mare

Mare has sensed several times during her life that she needs help, but there is no place to get it from: “I realize that our society has become more open and volunteer movement as well as village movement has developed, but disabled people are still left without help. I used Helpific environment and mentioned my need of help. I had several useless technological gadgets that I wasn’t even able to lift but needed to get rid of. Kerstin replied to me and she came to help in her red car. As Kerstin does not have a very strong physique, I was worried whether she would be able to carry the things to the car and later take them to the collection point. I also offered her a tiny amount of money, but she refused to take it and said that this is volunteer work. I also called her later to make sure that everything went smoothly. I am still very grateful to Kerstin.”
