I can no longer afford my sports expenses
Worried about money?
Because you can no longer pay sports club dues, you can no longer pay other bills either, and more and more debts are accumulating.
Talking helps.
But that is precisely what is so difficult. In the Netherlands we don't talk easily about money worries. Even though everyone has money worries at some point in their lives. The danger? That you think - and say: it will be all right. Many people wait too long before seeking help. Avoid getting (further) into trouble. Because the sooner you talk about it, the sooner you can be helped. By a friend or neighbor. By Hulp op Maat or another organization in our municipality.
Asking for help costs nothing!
