Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Assistance request for this Monday 26th Oct 12-2pm
Hello HoL'ers
I am a long standing (haha) HoL member. Well, I'm actually now in a wheelchair but do go about town a lot independently on buses. Except now I need a bit of help with my travel bags (very small and light) to get to Heathrow Airport. Once I am there I will have assistance and you will be able to turn back home - job done! - and leaving me very happy and grateful.
To explain, my mother and I were to do our big trip (to China&Japan) but unfortunately she has had a fall and fractured her arm and of course flying is out of the question for her now. She was going to help with my bags. Also, my husband cannot help much further than the local shops for his own health reasons.
So, is there anyone this Monday 26th afternoon 12-2pm that has a few hours to help me. I am very happy to cover all expenses of course. I have booked a taxi but it saves me a very long trip and worries about road transport problems if you can accompany and help me with this.
I plan to get a taxi from home which is the Green Lanes end of Hermitage Road, to Paddington, then 'hop' on the Heathrow Express. It should take One and a half hours there and for your return the same again.
A bit about me, if interested. Before my M.S. came I was an artist, then an IT trainer of Microsoft software like Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint etc in the city (long story!). Now, I go to a lot to many kinds of theatre for my love of dance and plays.
Please call me on my mobile and I will call you back 07785 397137.
Geraldine :)
P.S. My mother is being looked after and she wants me to still go.

Hi Geraldine, I want to help as I'm in limbo myself (nearly two years and no relapse) but my boss doesn't really believe in our organisation's flexible working policy.
So I'm passing this on to my friend Dave who has more time on his hands. He should be in touch soon. We're both part of GoodGym Haringey - we run to do voluntary work in the borough. One of the things GoodGym does is run to help disabled or older people who need help with things they can't do themselves (the most common thing is gardening, but anything else you can think of too). Send me a connection request if you're interested and I can tell you more. We're all DBS checked.

A big THANK YOU to Sarah, Dave and Laura , and those who looked and maybe pondered over my request.
I feel very safe, happy and grateful to start off my trip now. Phew :))
(fyi(?) My cousin from Melbourne is meeting me in Beijing. My mum is having her arm operation today at the wonderful Whittington and will then go to my sis in Manchester for post-op care. So all is good. We were going to celebrate her 87th birthday in Beijing but hey, Manchester awaits now!)
