Summary

Theo is a slightly mentally disabled man of 70 and is looking for a quiet buddy who visits once every 2 weeks and can do activities with him.

Detailed description

Who is Theo?

Theo is a pleasant man of 70 years. He lives in his own house with the help of 's HeerenLoo. With some help he is self-reliant, can cycle and is mobile. Theo loves birds and has a cockatiel of his own. He likes to tinker with wood. He used to walk a lot. Theo likes to chat and likes to go to a hardware store such as the Gamma.

What is Theo asking?

It would be nice for Theo if there was a volunteer who would come by for a few hours once every 2 weeks to tinker, go to the vet, to the Gamma or just come to visit. Theo does not like crowds, so he is looking for a quiet, clear volunteer. Preference is given to a man aged 40+. The volunteer can come on any weekday between 9.00-11.00 and 14.30-17.00
