Buddy aid Etten-Leur: a buddy that helps

Sometimes you no longer manage to do everything yourself. For example, due to an illness such as dementia, cancer, MS, a stroke or psychological problems. That is very drastic. Then it is nice to have someone who thinks and helps you.

Need help? Ask a buddy

Do you need help, but there is no one nearby who can help? Then you can use Buddy Aid.

A buddy is a volunteer who helps you. For example, by:

• Shopping together
• Going with you to a doctor or specialist
• Having a chat or doing something fun together
• To help find new contacts

The buddy helps once a week or every two weeks, basically for a year to a maximum of two years. The help is free of charge.

Become a buddy? Help someone else

Would you like to mean something to another person? Then become a buddy volunteer. As a buddy you give someone attention and support. That is very valuable.

You will receive guidance and we will make sure you are matched with someone who is right for you.

Participate?

• Would you like to request a buddy?
• Or would you like to become a buddy yourself?

Then send an e-mail to: buddyhulp.etten-leur@surplus.nl
We will contact you for an introductory meeting.

Buddy Aid Etten-Leur, for people who could use some extra support and for volunteers who want to do something good.
