In 2017 a friend pointed out an odd add.
"Wanted Heavy Metal lover,
For an autistic inhabitant of our guided living community we are looking for someone who loves Heavy Metal. Our patient is 65 years old and a vivid fan of Heavy Metal. We are looking for someone who is willing to have an occasional coffee with him and converse about his favorite hobby Metal."
I couldn't believe I was reading this and emailed them right away. After an intake and brief meeting with his counselor we met and for the last 3 years we have been meeting up and exchanging little gifts and music. So I guess I am a Heavy Metal volunteer 😄.
The patch:
His battle old jacket was hanging of a thread so recently they fixed him a new one with the old patches. Once they removed his back patch they found this one underneath. He gave it to me to give away or to use it for myself.
I promised I would give it away.
So if you want it and you are really thinking of using it in whichever way it's yours. First come first serve.
Send me a message.
Cheers

Mooi verhaal.
Wist de man vooraf al dat dit onder zijn originele BP zat?
Ben wel benieuwd naar wat de bovenste laag BP was btw

Hey thanks, ja dat wist hij wel. Maar voor de dame die zijn jasje fixte was het een verassing. Toen hij me de backpack patch gaf zat er een briefje bij van haar. Met de boodschap dat deze er onder zat. Er bleek overigens ook nog een Motörhead patch bij te zitten. De patch die er over heen zat en op de nieuwe jas zit is Ride The Lightning :) een hele verkleurde 😄
