This page previously combined older media stories about single parents with the title ‘Information Program’. It does not operate an assistance programme, award a car, provide medical help or establish eligibility for support. Older story summaries should not be read as current information about the people mentioned.
A news story and a service do different things
A report about one person receiving help does not show that the same support is available to you. A charity appeal or an application route can change. Check the current official provider, location, conditions, costs and contact details before relying on an offer.
Protect the people in a story
A parent’s illness, legal history or financial difficulty should not be copied as inspirational material without a clear reason and accurate source. This revised page does not repeat unverified private details or describe anyone as more deserving than another parent.
Name the practical question
You may need childcare, income support, housing advice, healthcare or someone to help prepare an appointment. These are different needs. Ask a suitable local service what it can actually provide; this website cannot assess your entitlement.
Support without a superhero role
Single parents do not have to demonstrate exceptional strength to deserve help. A difficult day is not a failure. A manageable offer of transport, childcare or company may matter more than an instruction to be resilient.
For broader reading, the existing Dutch-language guide to self-care and solidarity considers shared responsibility. It is general information, not a certification of external programmes.
This article offers general information, not individual assessment or care. Read our publication principles (Dutch) or send a question or correction.
