Ana had rented a room for herself and her 15 year old son, but because of her extremely
unpleasant landlord she didn’t feel safe and had to leave.

Ana was born and bred in Amsterdam, her parents came from Ghana.
For 2 years now she has been living with her father during weekdays and with her sister in
Amstelveen during weekends.
Because she had to flee the unsafe situation at her previous address.
She has recently found out that she suffers from ADD, on top of that she has to deal with a
burnout and depression.
She is willing to move anywhere in the Netherlands in order to create a stable situation for her
son, so that he will be able to bring friends home for example.
Would you be willing to help Anna find such a place?
We are looking for someone who is patient and persevering, who is able to disentangle a chaotic
situation; someone who will be available for around 2 hours a week or every fortnight during at

making a little more joyful an easier.
Moreover it will enrich your own life by broadening your own horizon and meeting a fellow citizen
who under different circumstances you would not have met.
As for for hours and location, that will be between you and Ama to agree upon.

2 weeks during a period of at least one year.
