Day 36, solidarity delivery: Olivier's experience

Two weeks ago, we launched our solidarity delivery service. Its aim: to help people who are unable to travel and medical facilities receive protective equipment. The entire Cocolis team mobilised very quickly to set up a user-friendly solution available from our website and our mobile app (Appstore – PlayStore). We are very happy that it works. However, today, it is neither our website nor our team that we want to highlight.

The story of the solidarity carrier

We want to tell you about Olivier D. who made two solidarity deliveries in one trip. In fact, Olivier responded to the ad that 3D4better posted on Cocolis last Tuesday. The task was to deliver protective visors created by young Roméo to Bichat Hospital in Paris as well as to a group of teachers in Maison-Alfort.

The day after the ad was posted, the double solidarity delivery took place. Thanks to the work of 3D4Better and Olivier's goodwill, seventy visors were able to be given to people who needed them.

I was happy to be able to deliver equipment that helped and supported healthcare staff. I would be delighted to offer my help again. Olivier.D

Olivier, a sales manager, is, like almost everyone at the moment, in lockdown at home. He didn't know Cocolis before hearing about our solidarity delivery service. We asked him what motivated him to sign up on our site and respond to the 3D4Better ad:

During this period of lockdown, I wanted to give some of my free time to take part in this collective effort that should help us get out of this crisis as quickly as possible. Olivier.D

Taking care of each other is what makes us human.

Olivier's altruistic gesture (like those of everyone involved in these solidarity deliveries) gives full meaning to the operation we launched.

To all those who, like Olivier, can and want to give a little of their time, we invite you to visit Cocolis.fr. New ads are waiting for a solidarity carrier.

Are you an association or an individual with an urgent delivery need? Post your ad on our site or email us directly at [email protected] and we will create the ad for you.

We hope to share more solidarity delivery experiences with you soon. In the meantime, we invite you to visit the websites of the various associations we are in contact with. They do an extraordinary job.

• 3D4better
• Solidarity with Caregivers, an association created by Anne Roumanoff, to deliver boxes of medical equipment. If you would like to donate to this association, here is the link to the fundraising page
• Refettorio Paris, to deliver meals to the Secours populaire de Paris
• The Solidarité Soignants platform, which lists services that can make caregivers' daily lives easier – an initiative by Whoog

See you soon,

The Cocolis team.
