Summary

Thomas has an intellectual disability and would really like to cycle or do other fun activities with a buddy

Detailed description

Thomas is a 32-year-old man with a mild intellectual disability. He can talk, but sometimes it is a bit more difficult to understand him immediately if you don't know him well yet. This will take some time. He often walks with a walker. He always has to get used to someone first, but once he gets to know that person better, he likes to make jokes. Thomas is a real football fan! his club is PSV and he also regularly attends a match of this club. He makes beautiful things from iron-on beads and he really enjoys cycling on his electric tricycle.


Thomas is looking for a volunteer who will come especially for him once in a while during the weekend or on Wednesday afternoon.

He would like to cycle with his volunteer, he has an electric tricycle.
