How it works
What happens after you send it
Every request is read by a person. Nothing is published without your permission, and you can check where yours stands at any time.
You tell us
Write it out, record a voice note, or upload a video — in Papiamentu, Dutch or English. Whichever is easiest for you.
We read it
A volunteer goes through your request within a few days and asks you for anything that is missing.
We connect you
We put you in touch with the people, services or family members who can help, and keep you posted.
