Here’s an email about a transportation service I discovered
this week. Having used it already, I was quite pleased with the results so
thought I’d ‘spread’ the word as I don’t send these Corn-u-copia emails much
these days. If you find these folks helpful, please let me know to
hap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:hap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> . Hope the info below
reads better for you than it did for me. The original email read just fine.
However, when I cut and pasted below, my JAWS (Job Access with Speech) talking
screen reader messed it up royally for reasons I don’t know. Steph, to whom I
have enjoyed a phenomenal marriage to (August 28 marks 45 years) had her left
knee replaced April 27. She has progressed from a wheelchair to a walker, and
now to a cane. She has made very good progress with range of motion now at 95!
And she’s been driving now three weeks and doing well with that too. She’s back
to working from home fulltime now. No, we have no plans for summer per say.
With the six inches of rain that fell last week everything is growing like
crazy, including the weeds! Oh, I heard my first cicada of the summer at 9:04
PM June 30. Oh happy days! Summer just isn’t the same without the cicada summer
symphony! And all goes well with the completion of my first year of retirement
today. When you’re retired, everyday is Saturday! *smile. Hope all is well in
your world.*

Hi there!
<https://bucket.mlcdn.com/a/625/625461/images/224439ecc42fe83e8dba6adc70c20401f96e411f.png/53c1ae8a5194bf884151a2173102bb08b5a2792f.png>
Welcome to GoGo. We'll send you a few "getting started" emails over the next
few days to bring you up to speed on common questions and the mission of our
company.
The Gazette is the main way we share company news with you! If you have
something you'd like to share, please email cassy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
<mailto:cassy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> .
<https://bucket.mlcdn.com/a/625/625461/images/00fb0347ac249a438317c3841b46cd1516985640.png/188d7d792e2d5f7a82b242047d8ef2cfec76ba22.png>
Taking your first ride
Step One
Call 1 (855) 464-6872 at least 15 minutes before you want to get picked up.
Listen to the menu and press the digit that does what you want to happen.
Press 1 for a car to your home.
Press 2 for a car to where we dropped you off last.
Press 0 to speak with an operator
Step Two
Stay on the line. we'll match you with a driver within two minutes (usually 30
seconds) and tell you the driver's name, car color, make/model and the last
three digits of their license plate.
Step Three
KEEP YOUR CELL PHONE NEAR YOU. Turn the ringer all the way up and keep the line
free in case your driver needs to reach you. We’ll call you when they’re 4 min
away. It's not mandatory to have a cell phone to use GoGoGrandparent, but if
you don't have one, be sure to tell us when you register and a Professional
Grandchild will help you figure out the best option.
Step Four (optional)
Contact your driver directly by calling 1 (855) 464-6872 and pressing 3 at any
time.
Did you know?

We can ask Lyft's or Uber's drivers to help you with collapsable wheelchairs,
rollators, walkers, canes and more. Here is one of our clients Ursula M. as she
prepares to embark on her trip. Her Lyft driver, Bhawanvir Singh, places her
walker into his trunk as they get set to leave her Palo Alto home for her
various appointments. Ursula's story was originally

Let us know if you have a service animal! Lyft and other companies are required
to allow service animals to join you on your adventure. We recommend simply
bringing a towel for them to lay on to keep the cars fur-free. If your pet is
not a service animal but you would still like to bring them along, we can ask
your driver. Simply let the operator know to annotate your account.

Meet Betty (she started this whole thing)
<https://bucket.mlcdn.com/a/625/625461/images/5d1df12b22da05e2f87cd54f3c8f821d1acc0bbb.jpeg/dd0e7f08f31622783aa11b0b1a4a1596eb245687.jpeg>
Betty started GoGoGrandparent! This whole thing was her idea.
Her grandson showed up at her door after college and she took him in for three
years.
On a Sunday night over dinner after discussing his most recent failed project
the conversation turned to transportation. Betty wanted to use Uber, but was
uncomfortable with the idea of managing drivers she didn't know..
When told that there wasn't really a better way to do it she admonished: "Well,
you should make that."
We took her advice! On January 4th, 2016 Betty took her first ride to and from
CoCo's diner. She started taking rides everywhere and pretty soon one of her
friends called her a 'Go Go Grandma'. The rest is history!
On behalf of all of us, thank you so much for your interest in GoGoGrandparent.
Please take a note from Betty's book and tell us if there is ever anything we
can do to help.

Weekly Customer Kudos!
"I want to thank everyone at GoGo for their service this has saved my life and
has given me my independence back. Every driver has been better than the last.
GoGo is now part of my family" - Gloria E
"I never found a company so accommodating to grandparents and I have been 60
for a long time, 20 years to be exact! And I've never seen such a great company
as this one" - R.E
"You have given me a new security. I have never been taken care of like this
before. Thank you for being there and providing this service." She also said
her drivers were incredible, both arriving within 5 minutes, taking the
shortest route and assisting her in and out of the car. The second driver, that
picked her up from the funeral, parked in an area so that she did not have to
use the stairs. Both drivers made sure that she got in safely. She could not be
happier with her experience, from the operators that answered her calls to the
drivers that showed up. "You are worth every penny, and more. I have give your
number to at least six friends. Please send me more cards so I can tell more
people, You guys are the best" - Patsy T
"What I love about this service is that you are all very patient that really
helps being a senior. You're very well spoken and that's obviously very nice as
well." - Patricia G
