Once a month a task was undertaken and over the year. Seven families asked for help and assistance with cleaning up their properties. A number of these the LAH team have been back a second time to finish off the project and to check on their well-being.
Lawnmowing, gardening, washing windows, pressure-washing pathways, washing cars, vacuuming floors, washing dishes, washing clothes and folding, and shopping.
LAH plans to keep in contact with the families to ensure they are doing well and if they need anything else.
Some comments from the families were:
- “I am so grateful for LAH helping me, I live on my own & have health issues, I am unable to do the tasks I once used to do.”
- “LAH are such a good team, they stick together no matter what. My small request was to change my engine oil in the car and the whole team came to support each other. It’s like 1 big happy family!”
- “LAH helped us by mowing the lawns and gardening before I was to move house, I was in need and they were willing to give their time to help me!”
- “LAH brought me food and cooking even when I didn’t ask for it but I truly needed it at the time.”
