Many of you may remember my ex-wife Chani, or 'Pretzel Empress' on Twitter.

Over the last few years, Chani has faced a number of serious challenges. Thankfully, she's made substantial progress in rebuilding in the aftermath.

Unfortunately, this has impacted her ability to work, and an outstanding power bill has become a serious issue.

While other payment avenues have been explored, ultimately the money needs to be paid to EnBW (the energy provider) in the next few days (5/9), or the power will be cut.

I've decided to use my social media following for good and try to raise the money for her via crowdfunding.

If we can make the target of €330, I'll then close down the crowdfunder. This is simply to ensure the power stays on.

Note: This is solely my (Mike's) idea. She's agreed to this, but please address any concerns or queries to me.

Thank you for your help. I greatly appreciate it.
