Hy was 17 jaar oud en nog op skool toe hy sy linkerbeen verloor nadat hy in bende-kruisvuur beland het. <\/p>\n
Kort hierna het hy in depressie verval en in die wurggreep van dwelms beland omdat hy onder die wanindruk was dit sou die pyn verlig.<\/p>\n
Vandag is Bennevin Hoorn (27) van Roodewal in Worcester betrokke by die geestelike organisasie HOPE waar hulle diegene wat trauma ervaar het of aan erge alkohol- en of dwelmverslawing ly probeer bemoedig. <\/p>\n
Volgens Hoorn het sy nagmerrie op 2 Augustus 2013 begin toe hy n\u00e1 sons-ondergang winkel toe gestap het om slaptjips vir sy pa te koop. <\/p>\n
Hy s\u00ea toe hy terugkeer huis toe, het hy vuurwapenskote hoor afgaan. Volgens Hoorn wou hy beskerming agter \u2019n kragboks kry.<\/p>\n
Hy s\u00ea nog voor hy die kragboks kon bereik, het hy besef hy is in sy linkerbeen gewond. Volgens Hoorn het hy nog \u2019n paar tre\u00eb verder gehardloop waarna hy inmekaargesak het. <\/p>\n
Hoorn s\u00ea iemand wat aan hom bekend is, het met sy motor langs hom stilgehou en met hom na die Worcester-hospitaal gejaag. Volgens hom is hy dieselfde aand nog na die Tygerberg-hospitaal oorgeplaas. <\/p>\n
Hy s\u00ea toe hy die volgende aand in die Tygerberg-hospitaal wakker word, was hy geskok toe hy sien sy linkerbeen is van bokant sy knie geamputeer. \u201cEk kon dit nie glo nie. \u201cEk was kwaad vir myself en die w\u00eareld.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hoorn s\u00ea hy het sowat \u2019n maand in die Tygerberg-hospitaal deurgebring waarna hy oorgeplaas is na Worcester-hospitaal waar hy nog drie weke deurgebring het. <\/p>\n
Volgens hom is hy in 2014 \u2013 di\u00e9 keer in \u2019n rolstoel \u2013 terug skool toe. <\/p>\n
Hoorn s\u00ea hy het depressief begin raak. Volgens hom het mense gedurig na hom gestaar en was daar ook diegene wat gemeen het hy hoort in \u2019n rolstoel omdat hy \u201cgruwelik\u201d was. <\/p>\n
Volgens Hoorn het hy nie aan \u2019n bende behoort nie. Elke dag was vir hom \u2019n uitdaging. Hy s\u00ea hy het homself aanhoudend afgevra: \u201cHoekom met my? Hoekom dan nou? Ek het nog nie eens my hele lewe geleef nie, en dit gebeur met my.\u201d <\/p>\n
Hy s\u00ea as gevolg van sy depressie en mense se negatiewe kommentaar oor sy toestand het hy besluit om nie weer terug te gaan skool toe nie. <\/p>\n
Volgens Hoorn kon niemand die pyn wegneem nie. Hy s\u00ea hy het hom toe tot dwelms gewend omdat hy gedink het dit sou dalk sy pyn verlig. <\/p>\n
Uiteindelik het hy besef sy dwelmgebruik was \u2019n verkeerde besluit omdat dit hom tot in die afgrond gedryf het. <\/p>\n
Hy s\u00ea hy wou opgee omdat hy op \u2019n laagtepunt in sy lewe was. <\/p>\n
Hoorn s\u00ea op \u2019n dag in 2014 het \u2019n lid van die Overvallei-sportklub vir mense met liggaamlike gestremdhede hom genader en gevra of hy sou belangstel om by die klub aan te sluit. Die klub fokus op rolstoel-basketbal. <\/p>\n
\u201cEk was verbaas, want ek weet ek kan nie speel nie omdat ek \u2019n ledemaat verloor het.\u201d <\/p>\n
Volgens hom het hy nietemin by die klub aangesluit en is nie vir een oomblik spyt daaroor nie. <\/p>\n
Volgens Hoorn het hy onmiddellik met fisioterapie by die Worcester-hospitaal begin nadat hy daar navraag gedoen het oor die moontlikheid van \u2019n kunsbeen. <\/p>\n
Sy mates vir \u2019n kunsbeen is later by die Conradie-sorgsentrum in Pinelands geneem. <\/p>\n
Hoorn s\u00ea die kunsbeen het hom in staat gestel om weer dinge te doen wat voorheen vir hom onmoontlik was toe hy rolstoelgebonde was. Volgens hom was hy sowat een en \u2019n half jaar rolstoelgebonde. <\/p>\n
Hy s\u00ea sy familie het hom baie ondersteun en \u201cdaar was baie gebede vir my lewe\u201d. Hy s\u00ea hy is dankbaar vir di\u00e9 mense. <\/p>\n
Hoorn meen hy moes egter ook vir professionele berading gegaan het omdat hy nog steeds skrik wanneer daar iets hard afgaan. <\/p>\n
Hy s\u00ea toe hy uit die hospitaal terugkeer huis toe het hy vuurwapenskote hoor afgaan. \u201cEk het aanhoudend gehuil, maar dit het beter geraak.\u201d <\/p>\n
Hoorn s\u00ea voor die skietvoorval het hy rugby en vlakkie-krieket gespeel. Hy s\u00ea dit het hom diep geraak toe hy nie langer sy gunsteling-sport kon beoefen nie. <\/p>\n
Volgens hom het hy vandag \u2019n positiewe uitkyk op die lewe. Hy s\u00ea die rolstoel-basketbal \u2013 onder leiding van eerw. James Davids \u2013 het sy selfbeeld \u2019n reuse-hupstoot gegee. <\/p>\n
Hoorn s\u00ea met trots dat hy die Here in sy lewe aangeneem het.<\/p>\n
\u201cNiks kan my nou onderkry nie, want ek wil vorentoe beweeg in my lewe.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
