Seeking Support: A Changemaker's Journey to a Fresh Start
I'm reaching out to you today as a passionate individual who has dedicated significant time and resources to making a positive impact in our community. Now, I find myself in need of support to overcome challenges and continue my journey of growth and contribution.
My Background
In the past, I've been deeply involved in volunteer work and social initiatives, including:
- Foodsharing projects to reduce food waste
- Environmental conservation efforts
- Establishing the first parkour park in Wageningen
- Developed a movement park to connect the neighborhood and promote health
- and more.
These experiences have shaped me into a committed change maker, but they've also led to personal and financial challenges.
Challenges I'm Facing
My dedication to volunteer work and community projects has resulted in:
- Increased student debt due to prioritizing unpaid work over part-time employment

- Personal setbacks, including theft of essential equipment and flood damage to my workspace
My Current Goals
I'm now focused on creating a sustainable future where I can continue to make a positive impact while achieving personal stability:
- Securing a Python related traineeship or an entry-level positions in software development to manage my debt
- Developing my own parkour coaching business to empower others
- Creating intelligent tutoring systems and coaching software to help people achieve their goals
- Restoring my 1987 Fiat Ducato camper with Bürstner construction to livable condition, as it serves as my home
- Continue to help people im my daily life through spontaneous acts of kindness
