FAQ

Manchmal verändert ein einziger Augenblick ein ganzes Leben.

Melanie ist Mutter von zwei kleinen Mädchen. Die ältere ist drei Jahre alt, die jüngere war gerade einmal sechs Wochen alt, als ihr Ehemann völlig unerwartet eine schwere Hirnblutung erlitt.

Er hat überlebt und kämpft sich seither in der Rehabilitation Schritt für Schritt zurück. Die Fortschritte sind klein, der Weg ist lang und die Zukunft ungewiss.

Als Familie sind wir für Melanie und ihre Mädchen da. Wir sind vorübergehend bei ihnen eingezogen, um sie im Alltag zu unterstützen. Doch aus der kurzfristigen Hilfe wird zunehmend eine längerfristige Lösung. Melanie wird bald wieder arbeiten, und auch die Besuche bei ihrem Mann in der weit entfernten Reha brauchen viel Zeit. Damit ihre Mädchen weiterhin liebevoll und verlässlich betreut sind, wird ein Familienmitglied längerfristig bei ihnen wohnen.

Dafür müssen wir Raum schaffen. Der Platz im Haus ist vorhanden, doch die Zimmer müssen umgeräumt, renoviert und neu eingerichtet werden. Melanie braucht weiterhin einen Arbeitsplatz, und alle Beteiligten benötigen etwas Rückzugsmöglichkeit.

Wir packen als Familie zusammen mit Freunden an und helfen, wo wir können. Doch für die Renovation, die notwendigen Handwerkerarbeiten und die Neumöblierung entstehen zusätzliche Kosten. In einer Situation, in der bereits der Alltag mit hohen Ausgaben verbunden ist und die finanzielle Zukunft viele Fragen aufwirft, ist diese zusätzliche Belastung besonders gross.

Deshalb bitten wir euch um Unterstützung. Mit eurer Spende helft ihr uns, die notwendigen Wohnräume herzurichten. Denn es geht um weit mehr als eine Renovation: Es geht darum, in einer Zeit voller Sorgen und Ungewissheit Raum für Nähe, Geborgenheit und ein Stück Normalität zu schaffen.

Jeder Beitrag hilft – ob gross oder klein. Von Herzen danke, dass ihr mithelft, dieser jungen Familie ein Stück Halt und Stabilität zu geben.

*****************************************************

Sometimes, a single moment changes an entire life.

Melanie is the mother of two little girls. Her older daughter is three years old, and her youngest was just six weeks old when her husband unexpectedly suffered a severe brain bleed. He survived and has been taking small steps forward in rehabilitation ever since. Progress is slow, the road ahead is long, and the future remains uncertain.

As a family, we are doing everything we can to support Melanie and her girls. We temporarily moved in with them to help with everyday life. But what started as short-term support is increasingly becoming a longer-term arrangement.

Melanie will soon be returning to work, and visiting her husband at the rehabilitation centre, which is far from home, also takes a great deal of time. To ensure that her girls continue to receive loving and reliable care, a family member will be moving in with them for the longer term.

To make this possible, we need to create space. There is enough room in the house, but some rooms need to be rearranged, renovated and furnished. Melanie still needs a space where she can work, and everyone involved needs a little privacy and room to recharge.

Together with friends, our family is doing as much of the work as possible ourselves. However, the renovations, necessary professional work and new furniture come with additional costs.

At a time when everyday expenses are already high and the family's financial future is uncertain, these extra costs are a significant burden.

That is why we are asking for your support. Your donation will help us prepare the living spaces needed to make this new arrangement possible.

Because this is about so much more than renovating a home. It is about creating a place of love, comfort and a sense of normality during a time filled with worry and uncertainty.

Every contribution makes a difference, no matter how big or small. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us give this young family a little more stability, comfort and security.
