This is Evelin — Evvu to the people close to her.

Evvu is a strong, independent mother of two with a quick and sometimes very dark sense of humour. She is used to taking care of herself, her children, her home, her dog and two cats — and usually finding a practical solution to whatever comes her way.

On 7 August 2026, an ordinary Friday at work changed everything.

Both of Evvu’s hands were caught in a machine and severely injured. X-rays showed multiple fractures in both hands — ten fracture areas altogether, several of them displaced or fragmented.

On 11 August, Evvu underwent a long operation. Several fractures were stabilised with wires, plates and screws. The surgery was only the beginning.

After almost two weeks in hospital, Evvu was able to return home on 19 August. Both hands are still heavily supported and their use is extremely limited. Even simple everyday things such as eating, dressing, washing, using a phone, preparing food or taking care of the home can require help.

Doctors have told Evvu that recovery will be a long process. Hand therapy, rehabilitation and gradually rebuilding movement and strength may continue for a long time. At this stage, nobody can yet say exactly how much function will return or how long the whole process will take.

For someone who has always been used to doing everything herself, one of the biggest challenges now is learning to accept help from others.

The exact needs will become clearer as Evvu recovers, but support may be needed for:

• personal and home assistance;
• hand therapy, physiotherapy and additional rehabilitation;
• transport to medical appointments and therapy;
• assistive devices and practical home adaptations;
• cleaning, meals and other everyday help;
• support with the home, garden and pets;
• other costs directly connected to her recovery and daily independence.

Where possible, available public services, health insurance, other insurance coverage and existing forms of support will be used first. The funds raised here will help cover the real recovery-related needs that remain.

€30,000 is an initial fundraising goal, not a sum of bills that has already been incurred.

At the moment, it is impossible to know exactly how much home assistance, rehabilitation or other support Evvu will need over the coming months. The goal was therefore set as an initial estimate, taking into account that the recovery may be long and the level of support needed is still uncertain.

If the actual needs turn out to be lower or higher, the goal and the information on this page can be updated accordingly.

The purpose is not to spend €30,000 simply because it has been raised. The purpose is to make sure that Evvu can access the help, rehabilitation and practical support she genuinely needs without financial limitations unnecessarily restricting her recovery.

The goal is not simply to pay bills.

It is to give Evvu the best possible chance to concentrate on healing, access the help and rehabilitation she needs, remain as independent as possible and gradually return to the life she had before the accident.

Evvu does not want her children to become her caregivers. She wants to be at home with them while making sure the responsibility for her personal care remains with adults and professional support where needed.

And despite everything, Evvu is still very much Evvu — joking about her new metal “jewellery”, her useless “jelly hands” and the six-pack she might eventually get from having to sit up without using her arms.

The fundraiser itself is in Evelin’s own name, and her identity has been verified by 4fund.

Evvu’s friend and co-worker Reio created the 4EVVU website and helps with the practical and technical side of the campaign, communication and updates.

All public information, photos and important decisions concerning Evvu are reviewed with her before they are published. Evvu has the final say on what is shared about her.

One step at a time.

Every donation, whether one-time or monthly, helps make that road a little easier.

Thank you for supporting Evvu. ❤️
