Hallo,
mein Name ist Michael, und ich wende mich heute mit einer persönlichen Bitte an Sie:
Bei meiner Frau Karin wurde vor über einem Jahr Lungenkrebs diagnostiziert. Obwohl Ärzte sie schon aufgegeben haben, konnte nach intensiven Chemotherapien und Immuntherapien der Tumor in der Lunge schließlich doch operativ entfernt werden - ebenso eine metastasierte Nebenniere. Heute sind wir sind unendlich dankbar, dass sie überlebt hat und sogar tumorfrei ist.
Doch der Weg zur Genesung ist noch lange nicht zu Ende. Die Behandlungen und Operationen haben Karin körperlich und auch mental stark geschwächt. Zudem führte eine Autoimmunreaktion auf die Immuntherapie dazu, dass sie mit akutem Nierenversagen und massivem Gewichtsverlust ins Krankenhaus eingeliefert werden musste. Infolgedessen musste die Immuntherapie abgebrochen werden, was den Heilungsprozess zusätzlich erschwert. Laut den behandelnden Ärzten wird es etwa ein Jahr dauern, bis sie ihre volle Kraft und Gesundheit wiedererlangt.
Diese Zeit war und ist für uns als Familie eine immense Herausforderung – denn neben der Sorge um Karin müssen wir uns ja auch um unsere vier Kinder kümmern. Sie können sich sicher vorstellen wie belastend es ist, einerseits eine schweren Erkrankung zu bewältigen und andererseits zu versuchen den Alltag für die Kinder so normal wie möglich zu gestalten.
Da Karin momentan nicht arbeiten kann, fehlt uns ein wesentlicher Teil unseres Familieneinkommens. Gleichzeitig sind bereits hohe Kosten für Medikamente und alternative Behandlungskosten angefallen.
Wofür wir Ihre Unterstützung benötigen:
✔ Alternative Therapiemethoden, die ihre Genesung beschleunigen würden; obwohl medizinisch anerkannt, werden diese leider NICHT von der Krankenkasse übernommen (ca. €6.000)
✔ Spezielle Therapiegeräte, um ihre körperlichen Erholung gezielt zu unterstützen (ca €12.000)
✔ Eine neue, orthopädische Matratze, da ihre aktuelle aufgrund der OP-Narben keinen erholsamen Schlaf mehr ermöglicht – dabei ist guter Schlaf essenziell für ihren Heilungsprozess (ca. €6.000)
Unsere Familie steht vor einer enormen finanziellen Belastung und schafft es alleine nicht, all diese notwendigen Maßnahmen zu stemmen. Jeder Beitrag, egal in welcher Höhe, hilft uns dabei, Karin die bestmöglichen Chancen für eine vollständige Genesung zu geben - vor allem damit sie endlich wieder mit voller Energie für ihre Kinder da sein kann.
Vielen DANK für Ihre Großzügigkeit und Unterstützung in dieser herausfordernden Zeit
Mit dankbaren Grüßen,
Michael & Familie

Hello,
My name is Michael, and today I am reaching out to you with a personal request.
More than a year ago, my wife Karin was diagnosed with lung cancer. Although doctors had already given up on her, after intensive chemotherapy and immunotherapy, the tumor in her lung was ultimately removed surgically – along with a metastasized adrenal gland. Today, we are incredibly grateful that she survived and is even cancer-free.
However, the journey to full recovery is far from over. The treatments and surgeries have left Karin both physically and mentally exhausted. Additionally, an autoimmune reaction to the immunotherapy caused acute kidney failure and severe weight loss, leading to her hospitalization. As a result, the immunotherapy had to be discontinued, making the healing process even more challenging. According to her doctors, it will take about a year for her to regain her full strength and health.
This time has been and continues to be an immense challenge for us as a family. In addition to worrying about Karin, we also have to take care of our four children. You can imagine how difficult it is to cope with a severe illness while trying to keep everyday life as normal as possible for the children.
Since Karin is currently unable to work, a significant portion of our family’s income is missing. At the same time, we have already incurred high costs for medications and alternative treatments.
How Your Support Can Help:
✔ Alternative therapies that could accelerate her recovery – although medically recognized, these treatments are unfortunately NOT covered by health insurance.
✔ Special therapy equipment to support her physical recovery.
✔ A new orthopedic mattress, as her current one no longer provides restful sleep due to her surgical scars – yet good sleep is essential for her healing process.
Our family is facing a tremendous financial burden and cannot cover all these necessary expenses on our own. Any contribution, no matter how small, will help us provide Karin with the best possible chance for a full recovery – above all, so that she can finally be there for her children again with full energy.
Thank you so much for your generosity and support during this challenging time.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Michael & Family
