Description

How does a single, ordinary moment of kindness ripple through a whole neighbourhood? While Shannon attends to a family matter, Johan steps in to revisit Audra's beautiful story—one that encapsulates what Neighbourly is all about. We hear how Audra’s family legacy of generosity shaped her heart for others, and how an open inbox and the practical use of CarePortal led her to reach out to a neighbour in need. What began as a simple delivery quickly turned into a powerful chain of compassion, drawing her community together and forging friendships in unexpected places. Through Audra’s experience, this conversation gently reminds us that care doesn’t have to be grand—just present—and that with intention and a little courage, ordinary people truly can offer extraordinary care.
