Glasses?

Wheelchair?

walker?

Or have the fragile old mother on your arm?

"What is your handicap?

And how do you cope with that?” That's what the Haar Disability Advisory Board and the Jesus Church wanted to know from citizens.

Haar

– Around 25 people from Haar accepted the invitation to the first Haarer handicap meet-up in the evangelical parish hall.

There was the pensioner with a severely handicapped pass who just wanted to see who would show up for the first handicap meeting.

Because sometimes she feels a bit lonely, according to a press release from the Disability Advisory Board, especially when the radius of action is getting smaller and smaller due to the disability.

Because of his mobility problems, Peter Bock does more for others

For another pensioner, the disability was more of a motivation to do more for others.

Peter Bock was hired by the Disability Advisory Board and began testing medical practices and therapeutic service providers for their accessibility.

He would soon make the evaluation available to the public, he added.

In the electric wheelchair through the rain

20-year-old Paul Wegner, who undeterred rolled through the rain into the parish center in an electric wheelchair, didn't want to be slowed down either.

Always in tow is Mama Petra, who said: "We only come in a double pack!

I just try to support him with all his ideas!” In addition to such moving admissions, Haarer also spoke up at the first handicap meeting, who simply wanted to offer help.

Rickshaw drivers would take wheelchair users

For example, the rickshaw driver who would take wheelchair users with him.

Or the laughter yoga therapist who knew from experience how important a strong soul is for a healthy body.

"We can have a laugh together!" she offered.

The former Viktualienmarkt flower woman Erika Schuster would like to get things done and finally organize a car for people with wheelchairs.

The Disability Advisory Board reports that she has already contacted her bank about this.

Initiator Bettina Endriss-Herz is hoping for more information and tips

Initiator Bettina Endriss-Herz, herself a wheelchair user, wished for the next handicap meeting on October 30th just as much humanity, but still useful information and interesting tips from first hand.
