Rotterdammers for Eline
I live in Rotterdam with my son Ivo. He is 35 years old and has a disability. I only take care of him and I myself had a tumor in the face, which makes me tired faster. Yes, that's heavy. But you have to stay optimistic, hope is alive!
At first I came upon Zorgzaam010 by accident. I used to walk every week with a blind lady and wanted to do something again. But then Ivo stopped with the shelter and came to live at home again and I was the one who asked for help!
Wilgo was busy with the screen all afternoon. He was incredibly fanatical!
I have asked for and received help for all sorts of things. Gerrie came by to clear the garden of weeds and to cut the hedge. Wilgo also made a completely custom screen for us. He was there all afternoon! He was incredibly fanatical.
And my gas stove was crooked. Yes, of course that doesn't cook very well. I'm very pragmatic so I thought, well, let's put a few tiles under it. It turns out when the volunteer comes by, that there are just legs under it that you can adjust! haha. He did that and now I can cook again.
Any help is welcome. Wilgo even comes back for the garden one more time! Very nice.
Could you use some help, just like Eline? Post a request for help or sign up !
Aboutaleb about Rotterdam
Aboutaleb about Rotterdam You live not only for yourself, but also for your fellow man We are very proud and happy that our own mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb not only knows Zorgzaam010, but also supports it! He says the following about volunteering: "I learned from an early age that you do not only live for yourself, but also for your fellow man. That a small effort can be of vital importance to someone else, such as getting water for a neighbor who has difficulty walking. Getting water was my job within the family and I also brought her a pitcher. Rotterdam has no shortage of water, but here too volunteering is of vital importance: it brings warmth to society. It makes me happy that there is so much enthusiasm in our city for volunteering , on this website supply and demand come together nicely. Sign up, there is always something to do and you get an incredible amount in return: appreciation and respect. Volunteer work is unpaid, but priceless." Volunteering is unpaid, but unaffordable.
