Dear friends, family and all compassionate hearts,

On 24 December 2024, Christmas Eve, the lives of our beloved sister and her seven children changed forever. A serious road accident broke her fourth thoracic vertebra (T4) and severed her spinal cord. Since that day, our strong sister has been paralysed from the chest down.

After nine long months in hospital, she has finally been discharged. But the relief is overshadowed by a new, agonising reality: **She currently has to recover and be cared for in a normal bed**, which makes her situation unbearable. Every movement, every necessary care is an enormous burden for her.

She is a single mother of seven wonderful children and lives in Serbia. There she now faces a triple tragedy: her paralysis, the inadequate care situation and a healthcare system that provides **no financial assistance** for the urgently needed aids.

**Unlike in Germany, an electric hospital bed, a wheelchair or barrier-free modifications are not covered by Serbian health insurance.** We are dependent on your help to give her back some independence and dignity. She urgently needs:

* **An electric hospital bed:** To make daily care easier, enable painful changes of position and prevent life-threatening pressure sores.

* **An electric wheelchair:** Her only means of getting around.

* **A barrier-free conversion:** The bathroom needs to be converted into a shower and the house needs ramps.

**Your donation is not an option - it is her only hope for a life worth living.** Please help us move Sister from her regular bed to a special care bed and eventually to a wheelchair.

**Your donation means more than just money: it means relief, dignity and the chance to be there for her children.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity and for sharing this urgent request.

With best regards
