Loes and her heroes
Loes was very well helped through GOvoorelkaar with the jobs in her house. "Treasures of men they are!", she says.
"Since my son didn't have time to help me with the odd jobs around my house, I placed a call on GOvoorelkaar. Ben responded, and he came right away. A week later, everything had been hung up. He also helped me cut the hedge When my son came to visit later, the first thing he said was "Mom, who hung that painting?!", and I proudly showed what Ben had done for me .
I proudly showed what Ben had done
Later I placed a call on GOvoorelkaar, asking if anyone wanted to come and put up ceiling lights. Hans saw my call and responded immediately. Moments later he came to me packed and packed with a lot of tools. Well, that job wasn't nothing! Hans has worked very hard, he deserved a good cup of coffee.
But he wasn't done yet. A closet had to be picked up and put together, and I asked Hans if he could help me with that. He didn't know if he had time in the short term. But, two days later, the doorbell suddenly rang, and there he was already!
I am still so thankful!
I am still very grateful to these two treasures of men. It's amazing how quickly and competently they helped me. It was always very pleasant during the baking of coffee. I would like to put them in the spotlight, I think it is very special that they have helped me so well."
Zehra and Anne
Zehra and Anne "There I was, looking for half an hour between the children's books in the library. What would she like? What in God's name does a 4-year-old read? Would she like animals? I really didn't know and finally decided to I finally burst out with an overflowing bag, ready to begin my first reading session with Zehra. As soon as I entered I felt completely at home. Crawling with my socks on the purple velvet-covered sofa, a Turkish tea and a cheerful know-it-all in a princess dress who couldn't sit still for a minute. That was the common thread of all reading hours, I think. Zehra was an energetic jump-in-the-field who was too happy for me to come. Before I had taken off my coat, a new bag had to be shown or I was pulled into the doll's corner to play. Zehra was an energetic jump-in-the-field who liked me too much But of course I came to read. Zehra had a lot of trouble with the Dutch language. She had just started primary school and could hardly understand her classmates and Miss. She also couldn't make herself understood in Dutch, which was very annoying for her. I came to read to her for an hour every week, to help her a little. Last week I was able to give Zehra her diploma and she was so proud! And above all: how proud I was! It's crazy to look back on these 20 weeks and think how fast it actually went. At first, "yes" and "no" were the only words she said to me. It was almost impossible to make sentences, and she didn't know how to tell me things.. Now she's blowing my mind about what she did at school that day and explaining exactly why I'm the big sister and that I have to feed the dolls on time. Well .. now it's up to her mother to listen to this waterfall of speech!" Share these stories and inspire others to help too! Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Whatsapp Forward
