Detailed description

Mrs. 77 years old needs to go outside more. Who wants to take her for a walk every week?


Wageningen woman does not dare to walk alone because of osteoarthritis in her knees. She is looking for a buddy to build up walking together again. She walks in and out with a walker.

Mrs. also has a wheelchair that can be taken in a car. It is therefore also possible to go somewhere with the car.

She prefers a female buddy and would prefer to meet in the afternoon, but not on Thursday.
