Der Autor lässt Erfahrungen sprechen, die er während seiner Arbeit als Alltagshelfer gesammelt hat. Dabei entstanden Geschichten, die nicht beschönigen und nicht urteilen, sondern in ihrer Ehrlichkeit berühren.

Doch zwischen all dem findet sich auch Wärme, Humor, Dankbarkeit und die Kraft kleiner Gesten. Jedes Kapitel offenbart einen Moment aus dem Leben eines Menschen, der gehört werden möchte.
