Handball talent John fights after accident: family needs support!

The fates by John Wolter and Til Klein are tragic examples of how quickly life can turn. John, a 15-year-old handball player from Anklam, was paraplegic in September 2024 in a serious traffic accident. This accident occurred when he collided with his bicycle at a crossing with a car, which led to a broken cervical vertebrae and several other injuries. He was put in a coma and is now fighting for months in a rehabilitation facility in Brandenburg to fight back into life. John's state is serious, and at the moment he cannot move his fingers, which is why he rely on comprehensive support. The family divides the care of young people on a weekly, which reports additional challenges, such as Nordkurier.

But not only physical rehabilitation is a big topic. The Wolter family also faces an enormous challenge. In order to convert your house accessible to the disabled, the family needs around 40,000 euros to install a new bathroom and a ramp for the wheelchair. In addition, a vehicle has to be purchased that offers space for John's wheelchair. So far, a fundraising campaign launched by his sister Lisa have already been collected over 9,000 euros.

Another moving example is the 17-year-old Til Klein from Gummersbach, who is faced with similar challenges. After his accident in July 2024, in which he was seriously injured in mountain biking, he too is paraplegic. Til fights for his mobility and makes progress in his rehab, for example through initial attempts with aids. The family faces similar financial hurdles to the Wolters; The parents' house must be rebuilt, among other things, with an elevator and a new bathroom. A Gofundme campaign you started has already brought in over 59,300 euros, with the aim of financing the necessary adjustments at home. In addition, Til recently took part in a donation marathon to do good and collect for children, reports RTL.

Both boys symbolically stand for the many people who, after a difficult stroke of fate, are faced with the challenge of redesigning their lives. The will for recovery and return to active life is very pronounced for both. These stories not only show the personal struggles of young people, but also the need to improve the infrastructure for people with disabilities. This is also where the Beelitz rehabilitation clinic, which has applied for financial resources as part of a nationwide digitization program, to create optimal conditions for the rehabilitation of cross -sectional paramedics. Among other things, this includes the introduction of digital patient files and modern supply structures, such as on rehaklinik-beelitz.de.
