Mission Of Mercy At The Bingo

--by patjohn12, posted Sep 16, 2013

As a retired person I go to Bingo a couple times a week.

One Sunday afternoon I noticed an elderly woman at my table who seemed quite nervous. I asked her if she was all right and she said she was scared because she had left home without taking her medicine. She had tried to get in touch with her family, to get one of them to come and collect her but no one was answering.

I offered to give her a ride home so she could take take her medication. Her face just lit up.

I took her home and, she took her medication, then I brought her back to the Bingo. She offered me money for gas and was surprised when I refused. It just made me feel good to know she was all right. Just seeing her enjoying her day out was enough to make me smile all day!

I know just how truly upset older people can get in those kinds of situations and have had to do what was necessary to reassure when such situations have happened around me. A lot of people just blow them off but their fear and worry are very real, even if what they worry about really isn't a big deal. Thanks for being there for her.
