Elvera is looking for a buddy

Elvera is looking for a buddy She has a beautiful view from her apartment. She is enterprising, sporty and likes to have fun. Elvera is 47 years old and has a son, who partly lives with her. She is not bored, but she misses someone to do something fun with. Because of her enthusiasm, you would almost forget that she walks with 2 lower leg prostheses. In 2013, things went wrong with her health, causing her to lose her lower legs. But Elvera is an enormous go-getter and now she can do a lot independently again. “I can walk short distances, but otherwise I have a wheelchair, a hand bike and a scooter. So I am reasonably mobile and enterprising, but alone is only alone”, says Elvera. “It would be nice if I had a buddy to do fun things together. I like going out with my hand bike and I spend many hours with my hobby “diamond painting”, but I can also enjoy a drink on a terrace or play a game”. Another hobby of Elvera is swimming. She prefers to be in the pool every week. “Once I'm in it, I swim like a fish, but I do need some help getting into the pool with the elevator. Due to the limitations of corona, it was difficult for me to find help with this, but now that more is possible, I hope to find a buddy who not only helps me get into the pool, but who also swims with me and a cup of coffee afterwards does to me”. If you want to be that buddy, you can contact Oosterhoutvoorelkaar! Once I'm in it, I swim like a fish" Share these stories and inspire others to help too! Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Whatsapp Forward
