In the last year, I needed help assisting my late dad who was 93 and living independently in a retirement complex without carers.  I was kept very busy shopping for him, doing his admin, paying accounts and, in-between, trying to spend a little quality time keeping him company. There were many times when I couldn't always get there and Marissa had offered to assist. She would shop for him and drop off groceries, make him tea and spend time chatting to him. He loved the company and it was a huge help to me and freed me up to spend more time with him. Marissa is a compassionate, kind, caring person who loves helping people in need, particularly the elderly (I know the family and they are all wonderful, warm people with integrity). I agreed with her that there was a huge need for this type of service (I know many people with elderly parents who need help) and was very happy to hear that she has decided to pursue this as a business. Marissa and her sister Desray are ideally suited for this type of service that is so essential. Colleen, Sea Point, Cape Town
