A Much Needed Break

Hello, we are AnnMarie and Twan van den Heuvel ❤️

In the years since Covid, like many people, we have had to deal with a large amount of stresses.

We have battled cancer, mental health setbacks, including crippling anxiety and trauma, and mounting debt as a result which as you can imagine, has really knocked us back a lot.

Since the beginning of this year, much to our surprise and sorrow, we have also had to cope with three family deaths, one of which required a trip back to the UK to say goodbye to a much loved Grandmother and attending the funeral. All of this took a lot of money to arrange which included help from friends whom we are now paying back.

The grief from this has left us feeling battered and exhausted in a way I know that so many of you will understand. 

What we really need right now is a break away from it all. To go somewhere peaceful where we can reconnect and find some rest from everything that has knocked us down.

While our debts are now under control and we are receiving help with managing them, we do not have much left to spare to afford a holiday.

This is where we hope you might be able to help us.

What we are asking for is donations to help us have a week away somewhere in the Netherlands, which has some beautiful countryside, and just be in nature. Where we can find a little peace.....a week where we don't have to worry about cooking or cleaning or managing everyday life.

A week where we can relax and start healing the grief we still haven't fully processed.

Our plan is to simply book a week away for the two of us at a Centreparcs in September.

If anyone out there can help us with this, it would truly be appreciated and would mean the world to us.

Thank you ❤️
