  • Dear donor,

    William’s dream has come true: the bus has arrived! Thank you so much ❤️

    It’s almost impossible to put into words, but we’ve collected the bus for William!

    When we launched this crowdfunding campaign, we never dared to imagine that we’d raise this amount so quickly (we’ve also received some funds into our personal account, so the money has definitely come through!). Your overwhelming support, kind messages and generous donations have touched us deeply. We are so incredibly grateful; we can hardly put it into words. This is something William will never forget.

    Thanks to you, William has regained his freedom, mobility and peace of mind. His smile is worth its weight in gold and speaks volumes. This wonderful result is truly a joint success.

    We would like to thank you once again from the bottom of our hearts for your contribution to this. 

    With warm and deeply grateful regards,

    William and his mum and dad

Description

William has multiple disabilities and relies entirely on his specially adapted minibus for transport. He uses it to get to his day centre, church and family visits. But also to the swimming pool, which is very important for managing his spasms. At the moment, his current minibus spends more time at the garage for maintenance than it does on the road. Not only is it very frustrating that he is repeatedly unable to go to his day centre and the swimming pool, but this unpredictability also causes a great deal of stress for William. And for his father Jaco and his mother Nellie too. All the more so because they are also battling the pancreatic cancer that has been diagnosed in his father. We want to raise money for William so that he can buy another van soon. He has his eye on a second-hand, specially converted van that costs 35,000 euros. Will you help William, Jaco and Nellie stay mobile? It would be one less worry for this family. Then William can continue to go to work, church, sports and family gatherings with a big smile on his face!

    Gisteren werd er in de kerk gebeden dat Rineke over was gekomen om afscheid te nemen van haar zwager. We bidden voor jullie en wensen jullie de ondersteuning van de Heere toe in deze verdrietige weg. Hartelijke groet Jan en Pieta Pons

      Hartelijk dank voor jullie donatie en jullie betrokken reactie. We zijn blij onze schoonzus weer voor verlof in ons midden te hebben. Op dit moment gaat het met Jaco relatief goed, maar het blijft echt onvoorspelbaar hoe de ziekte zich verder ontwikkeld en of dit afscheid betekent op kortere of langere termijn. Maar we weten ons geborgen in Gods handen.
