Description
We are a husband and wife team with a few animal friends. Eva the cat and Thor the dog. We are both very creative people who enjoy making music, art and love nature.
Edgar was diagnosed with Testicular Cancer, and adding to our distress, he has a lump in his abdominal area that remains unidentified.
We’ve been waiting for months for answers, but progress has been agonizingly slow. Watching someone you love suffer so deeply is a torment beyond words.
Many nights, we find ourselves sleepless. The pain he endures is immense, and my worry for him grows each day. Even the smallest of movements like walking or standing up straight is a struggle.
We are looking for helpers with a self-contained camper van and independent people who can help us with strimming the garden (we have a machine), garden work, house repairs and someone to help us complete the camper van project.
The land is in a very peaceful location close to the beautiful, whitewashed village of Mijas which is only 6 minutes by bus and the beach is 7 minutes by bus. We are lucky to have a bus stop just at the top of our road, so travelling on public transport to different destinations is a breeze. If you have a car, it is only 5 minutes away from the beach and main town. 40 minutes by foot. The main city, Malaga, is 39 minutes by car and 1 hour by train.
We are very lucky to have the best of both worlds as we live in an urban location, however we enjoy a very natural and green landscape.
We speak English, Spanish, Dutch, German, broken French.
Furthermore, we are looking for experienced, motivated independent people.Types of help and learning opportunities

He is hard-working, very easy going and respectful.
