A huge thank you to the amazing team of volunteers at Qualtrics for helping us transform a single storey, two-bedroom property for a 19-year-old single mother with two children under the age of two.
Six employees from Qualtrics, which helps organisations improve their customer and employee experience, put up their hands to transform the property as part of their annual volunteering inititiative, XM Day.
Armed with gardening tools and a positive attitude, they participated in a volunteering day, where they assisted in:
- Painting the living room
- Moving a new couch into the newly painted living room
- Pruning and tidying up the garden
- Patching up a couple of dents in the walls
- Revamping the kitchen
- Tidying up the garage and car port
- Taking rubbish to Kimbriki Resource Recovery Centre
- Scrubbing the bathroom to remove mould
- Removing plastic bottles and recycling them
The generous team also donated two car seats for the children, children’s clothes, toys, new towels, new cushions and a rug, and stationery to help the young mother with their TAFE studies.
Doctor Cecila Herbert from Qualtrics also went the extra mile and donated plants from her own garden and planted them in the property’s garden.
Thank you Qualtrics, your team of volunteers have truly made a difference in this young mother’s life and we couldn’t be more grateful! This is why we do what we do!
And finally, a big shout out of thanks to Bunnings Warringah Mall for donating paint, that provided the living room with a new lease on life.
