16.01.2022 It had been 20 long years since Pearl had visited one of her favourite places, the beach. When Wendy and Laura (Pearl's coordinator and home care worker) found out they made it their mission to change that. They helped Pearl include some regular outings in her Home Care Package and sure enough, Pearl got to feel that fresh ocean air. "Looking out at the waves I could feel the tears coming as it had been so long...We had a superb meal of fish and chips. So simple a meal, but ...every mouthful was a sheer delight, made even better by the 2 girls who served us. I am so looking forward to Laura and myself having more events in the near future. Once again Wendy a big thank you to yourself and LiveBetter for a great day out. LiveBetter and my coordinator certainly live up to its name." #ImNotCryingYouAre
