<div>Help Koen, Roos &amp; Hun Kinderen Hun Leven Opnieuw Op Te Bouwen Na Een Verwoestende Brand
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Wij zijn Tim en Paige en samen met onze schoolcommunity doen wij een oprechte oproep om hulp, zowel lokaal als internationaal voor Koen en Roos.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Onze gemeenschap is ontzettend hecht en nadat we het hartverscheurende nieuws hoorden dat het huis van Koen en Roos in brand was gevlogen, wisten we meteen dat we iets moesten doen om hen te steunen in deze onvoorstelbaar moeilijke tijd.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Op de ochtend van dinsdag 19 mei, nog voordat school en werk goed en wel begonnen waren, sloeg het noodlot toe.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Koen en Roos kochten hun droomhuis in 2016. In het dorp stonden ze liefkozend bekend als “die gekke mensen” die altijd aan het verbouwen waren. Maar het leven liep anders. Door zwangerschappen, het opvoeden van hun kinderen en financiële tegenslagen werden hun renovatieplannen telkens uitgesteld.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Maar de afgelopen jaren leek alles eindelijk op zijn plek te vallen. Hun droomhuis begon eindelijk echt af te raken. Alle kinderen zaten op school en Roos was in april 2026 zelfs begonnen aan haar opleiding om dokter te worden.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>En toen veranderde alles in slechts enkele momenten.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Roos vertelde later:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>"Dinsdagochtend dacht ik al dat ik iets vreemds en brands achtigs rook, maar het was heel vaag. Soms ruik je wel eens iets vreemds in huis."</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Na alles zorgvuldig gecontroleerd te hebben, ging het gezin verder met hun normale ochtendroutine. Kinderen naar school brengen, werk en studie.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Niet veel later kregen ze het telefoontje dat geen enkel gezin ooit verwacht te krijgen:
</div>
<div>hun huis stond in brand.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>De brand begon in hun schuur, maar sloeg snel over naar de woning. Wonder boven wonder staat het huis er nog, maar het heeft ernstige schade opgelopen. Koen, Roos en hun drie kinderen kunnen er momenteel niet wonen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>De emotionele impact is enorm en de schade wordt geschat op wel €100.000.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Koen en Roos blijven vastberaden en geloven dat zij deze enorme uitdaging zullen overwinnen en hun leven en huis weer zullen opbouwen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Helaas kan de verzekering door bepaalde omstandigheden de schade niet vergoeden. Hierdoor staat het gezin voor een enorme financiële last, bovenop alle emotionele pijn die zij nu al moeten dragen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Daarom doen wij een oproep aan onze gemeenschap, dichtbij en ver weg. Om samen te komen en dit prachtige gezin te steunen in één van de moeilijkste periodes van hun leven.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Alles, groot of klein, helpt enorm. En mocht doneren niet mogelijk zijn, dan kan het delen van deze inzamelingsactie binnen je eigen netwerk al een wereld van verschil maken.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Als gemeenschap geloven wij dat wanneer tragedie toeslaat, mensen elkaar kunnen helpen en ondersteunen. Dat is waar menselijkheid om draait: compassie, vriendelijkheid en er zijn voor degenen die ons het hardst nodig hebben.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Namens ons allemaal: ontzettend bedankt voor jullie steun, medeleven en gulheid.
</div>
<div><br />

<div>Help Koen, Roos &amp; Their Children Rebuild Their Lives After a Devastating House Fire
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are Tim and Paige, and together with our school community we are making a heartfelt appeal for help both locally and internationally for Koen and Roos.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our community is incredibly close-knit, and after hearing the heartbreaking news that Koen and Roos’s home had caught fire, we immediately knew we had to do something to support them during this unimaginable time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On the morning of Tuesday, 19 May, before school and work had even properly begun, tragedy struck.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Koen and Roos bought their dream home in 2016. In town, they were affectionately known as “the crazy people” who were always working on renovations. However, life had other plans. Between pregnancies, raising their children, and financial setbacks, their renovation dreams were repeatedly put on hold.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But in recent years, things finally started to fall into place. Their dream home was finally nearing completion. All of their children were in school, and Roos had even started pursuing her dream of becoming a doctor in April 2026.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And then everything changed in a matter of moments.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Roos later shared:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>"On Tuesday morning I already thought I could smell something strange and burning, but it was very faint. You do sometimes smell something odd in your house."</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After carefully checking everything, the family continued with their normal morning routines. School drop-offs, work, and studies.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Not long after, they received the devastating phone call no family ever expects: their house was on fire.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The fire started in their shed but quickly spread to the home. By some miracle, the house is still standing, but it has suffered severe damage. Koen, Roos, and their three children are currently unable to live there.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The emotional impact is overwhelming, and the damage is estimated to be as high as €100,000.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Koen and Roos remain determined and confident that they will climb this mountain and rebuild their lives and home together.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, due to certain circumstances, insurance is unable to cover the damages. This leaves the family facing an enormous financial burden on top of the emotional devastation they are already experiencing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Therefore, we are calling on our community near and far to come together and support this beautiful family during one of the hardest times in their lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Anything, big or small, helps enormously. And even if you are unable to donate yourself, sharing this fundraiser within your own networks could make an incredible difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a community, we believe that when tragedy strikes, people can come together to lift one another up. That is what humanity is all about: compassion, kindness, and standing beside those who need us most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On behalf of all of us: thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support, sympathy, and generosity.
</div>
