"Thank you, Menno Streefland!" Wim Roelofs receives his balance wheelchair

How it started

Wim mainly wanted to walk together with his wife and grandchildren again. The things that used to come naturally now require more help and planning. That was a nagging feeling. In conversations with those around him, he kept saying the same thing: it doesn't have to be special, it just has to work. Not bigger or faster, but able to move smoothly and safely—at home, in the woods, and on the way. Menno heard that story up close and decided to take action. He reached out to 2KERR with a clear question: “What is needed to help Wim now?” And together we got to work!

 

Working together: Menno and 2KERR

Wim knew exactly what he wanted and what works for him. So, the choice of a balance wheelchair was not up for discussion. Wim's big wish was to finally go back into the woods with his grandchildren and his wife, enjoy a nice coffee somewhere, and just get out again. 

For this reason, Wim's wife also started a crowdfunding campaign, and together they raised 3 thousand euros. 

We thank everyone who donated, and we are incredibly happy that we were able to make Wim and his wife grateful. 

The day of delivery

Wim welcomed Menno and Linda at home. First, there was time for a calm, warm conversation, long enough to catch up and go through everything. Then they got down to business: Wim took a seat in his new balance wheelchair, and together they drove off, heading towards the woods. That moment was bigger than it seemed. For years, it had not been possible to go into the woods and move between the trees alongside his loved ones. Now it can happen again, without detours, and with tremendous joy!

Thanks and Outlook

Menno and 2KERR arranged this together. We set a date and delivered it before Christmas. Wim now has the balance wheelchair he wanted. He uses the chair for what does him good: going into the woods with loved ones, visiting someone, or going out independently for a bit. We are grateful that we could help Wim, and we thank Menno once again!
