Description

What happens when someone actually follows through?

In this episode of Neighbourly, Shannon sits down with Ashley and Chantel to share a story that began with a simple CarePortal request for a wagon and children’s clothes. Chantel was navigating grief, recovery, and isolation. Ashley and her small group simply said yes.

Months passed. Chantel assumed the connection had ended.

But Ashley called.

What followed was more than practical support. It became friendship, community, and a reminder that being a good neighbour often starts with something small, and consistent.

This is a story about keeping your word, rebuilding trust, and discovering that you haven’t been forgotten.

In This Episode

  • The power of simple follow-through
  • Why consistency matters more than grand gestures
  • How community support changes the trajectory for single mothers
  • What it looks like when faith is lived out in everyday life
  • How saying “yes” to one small request can ripple outward

A Simple Step This Week

Think of one person you told, “Let’s connect.”

Follow through.

Ordinary care has extraordinary impact.
