Hi [name], I’d like to ask you something. [My sister / A good friend / Someone I know], Roos van Dijk from Arnhem in the Netherlands, is raising money for a treatment in Germany that isn’t covered by insurance. For her it isn’t about a cure, but about time of good quality. At voorroos.nl/en you can read her story and donate. If you donate €50 or more, you’ll get a set of three cards with her work. Would you take a look, and maybe pass it on? It would mean a lot to her.
I’m sharing this because Roos van Dijk is close to my heart. [A sentence about how you know her.]

Dear [name],
I’m sending you this because I want to share something that moves me. [How you know Roos.]
Roos van Dijk is a visual artist from Arnhem in the Netherlands. At a clinic in Germany she can receive treatment that supports her regular treatment. It won’t cure her, but it gives her time of good quality. The treatment isn’t covered by insurance, which is why she is raising €50,000.
At voorroos.nl/en Roos tells her own story, and you can donate. If you donate €50 or more, you’ll get a set of three cards with her work. Would you consider making a contribution, or forwarding this message to someone it might mean something to?
Kind regards,
