On Tuesday, February 23, the time had come. Early in the morning we were at the tulip supplier that we had found willing to deliver 125 bunches of tulips for the nursing home in Grootebroek.
These nice people who work hard for their sandwich received us with a smile and took us to the cold store.
The choice was pink, red and yellow. Beautiful colors to bring a little color to the residents of the nursing home in this difficult time.
The bunches were bundled in large quantities and together we counted the bunches and put them in boxes.
How nice is it that after talking for a while we were told that we could take the tulips with us! What a blessing to be able to give and then also receive!
With a fully loaded car we went back home and there we packed the tulips per bunch in a nice piece of paper and enclosed a warm card. In this time when the restrictions have lasted so long, we hope to bring some color into the center and now that spring is starting to show a gesture of HOPE.
Each bunch had the necessary attention and after a few hours they were ready to be received. Once again Held@Home went to the nursing home with a fully loaded car. Unfortunately, due to the restrictions and rules, we were not allowed to bring them along ourselves, but our contacts within the center thought it was a great honor to be able to do this.
A cart full of flowers entered the nursing home and after the residents awoke from their afternoon nap, all residents received a beautiful bunch of tulips. With great pleasure and a warm welcome, the woods were received and the woods that remained went to the staff members who also deserve a compliment in this time!
All in all, another successful campaign in which we were once again able to show God's love for these people and to bring a little light and warmth in this time.
Of course we hope that the rules will be relaxed soon so that we can go to people again and we can give these people a warm heart in a while.
