Companionship and distraction from illness

For two people, we are looking for volunteers to provide some distraction and companionship from their illness.

Selwerd
Mister around 60 lives alone and has few contacts. Sir has cancer, the prognosis is that he will deteriorate more and more, his bones will become more brittle and he will eventually become bedridden. Doctors give him five to ten years. He suffers from the side effects of his treatment. He would like a buddy to drink tea with, play games, go for walks. Someone to visit, to look forward to and distract him from all his worries. Not dealing with cancer for a while, or sometimes just nice to talk to someone about it. He calls himself a real host, so you will definitely feel welcome.

Korrewegwijk
Woman in her mid-70s struggles with chronic illness. She volunteers herself and also has people around her, but her environment lacks understanding of her situation. As a result, she sometimes feels alone and life feels tough. Yet Madam herself is optimistic and not heavy-handed. She would like to meet a volunteer who has a listening ear, but can also provide some fun moments in life. Going to the cinema, doing something fun outside the house playing a game. The volunteer may also be a younger person.

• Listening ear and empathy
• You have a cheerful disposition but do not shy away from a serious conversation
