Dear friends and followers,
dear ladies and gentlemen,
You all know, I’m usually not the type to push things like this over my blog, but this single mother and her 3 daughters need our help and support, and they need it as fast as possible.
I encourage you to read the whole story, reblog, spread the word and try to help her and her daughters with whatever you can.
This is no fake, no scam, no hoax. I’ve known this woman for almost 18 years now, everything‘s transparent, proovable, and I’ve always admired her for her endless strength.
She never accepted any help. But we all know that all strength is limited and might eventually come to an end if karma chases you again and again. For her, this point has finally come.
There’s an official crowd funding page started for her on leetchi.com as well, but it’s all German, so maybe you just read on here. If you need any additional info, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
So what’s the point and her story?
When I first met her, about 18 years ago, she was a university student, a rape victim, trembling upon touch or when anybody even came to close.
Shortly after, she had a breakdown, spent 3 month in clinical therapy. Got back up on he feet and finally successfully finished her diploma in Physics.
She got married, had a small little retail shop and gave birth to 3 beautiful daughters, now 7, 11 and 16 years old. Due to illness and numerous legislation changes within short terms, she finally had to give up her shop. Followed by dept, affidavits, salary seizures, separation and being single mother alone.
Nevertheless, she was still ready to fight for herself and her kids future every day.
She likes to get up in the morning, even if it’s 4:30 a.m., and she’s busy working all day, then taking care of the children and finally do papers until 11 p.m.. She works full-time and takes care of the children on her own. She could even save something again.
With a lot of support from friends and family and several moves they found a wonderful little house at affordable rent and with a huge backyard. They love outdoor leisure and finally wanted to start all over again.
But then it still only got worse.
Banks closed her accounts and filed her wages with creditors, despite diverging court decisions and laws.
With few savings, the courage to persevere, and now also a great lawyer, she was able to bridge this endlessly agonizing 6 months, meanwhile continuing to save, satisfy creditors, that she never wanted to burden deliberately, and finally start the personal bankruptcy.
The specialized lawyers in this case advise to pay all due bills at the beginning of each month and to withdraw the rest of the balance in cash from the account as a precaution and keep it at home.
She wanted to save so much diligently, that the children could finally make a small holiday for the first time in 16 years or she can buy materials to renovate and secure the house. She still doesn’t have any own bedroom furniture and sleeps on the floor, while the bedroom doesn’t even have wallpapers yet. She wanted the kids to get their rooms first.
Despite all that, she still got up every morning. Despite the seizure for debts. Despite wrongly calculated allowances and far too high deductions. Despite tax offices that didn’t recognize her maintenance obligations for months.
Two weeks ago, the Storm brought down a 50 year old tree in the backyard, crashing her furniture on the terrace and leaving her youngest daughter crying over her favorite tree and hiding place.
Finally, last weekend, while she was just 1,5 hours away, burglars broke into their house, leaving a mess and robbed her complete savings in cash. Every Penny she desperately managed to save, including everything left from her salary this month.
Leaving the house with all her hopes, dreams, human dignity and whatever has been left from her strength. No chance to get it back. No insurance, because she couldn’t afford, next to no company willing to give her a contract.
She and her daughters now currently have to live on a few food coupons and shattered dreams about a bedroom or even anything else.
This might maybe be a story and fate like any other or thousands across the world, happening to someone each day. But we all know, karma is a bitch, and I’ve seen the strength of this woman. Always willing to fight, always refusing help - and I’ve seen it fade until this day.
She really deserves a little luck. She deserves a spark. A spirit that shows her a little light and gives her back some strength and faith to move on. If not for her, but at least for the children. They’re not resonsible, but they‘re our future, and they need hope and faith in this world.
Donations (every amount helps) will be used for food, bedroom, wallpapers, a plain wall to separate the bedroom, fixing the burglar damage done to the backdoor and window, making the house more safe, maybe even planting a new tree, and last, but not least, maybe a foundation for a new start and hope.
If needed, I’ll be the guarantor to guarantee that donations are used according to above and provide proof where needed and asked for.
This might be an unusual blog to post something like this, but even here, we’re still a community, and if someone can achieve help in this case and spread some faith, who, when not a community.
