Eindhovense Yvonne Wolbertus has been playing a cat-and-mouse game with enforcers at the PSV stadium for months now. The challenging situation arises when she tries to pick up her husband, who is in a wheelchair, after the matches.
Despite her previous efforts, Yvonne has been repeatedly turned away when trying to wait for her husband in her car at a convenient spot near the stadium. It seems finding a suitable waiting area has proven to be a difficult task.
Yvonne tried to find an inconspicuous spot away from the chaos near the stadium but was still approached by a 'motormuis.' This encounter led to another round of discussions with the authorities and resulted in Yvonne being asked to move further away, causing inconvenience to her husband.
As the situation worsened with conflicting directives, Yvonne found herself contemplating absurd suggestions like leaving her car at a distant square and walking to fetch her husband in the freezing cold. These unreasonable demands left her frustrated and questioning the lack of support in a city of nearly 250,000 residents.
Yvonne's experience highlights the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities and their caretakers in navigating public spaces. The ongoing struggles at the PSV stadium illustrate the need for better accessibility and understanding for those with unique requirements.
Yvonne Wolbertus' dedication to ensuring her husband's comfort amidst the adversity is a testament to the resilience and fortitude of caregivers in demanding situations.
