Donation for Ducherow's fire hedgein: Family needs our help!

In a moving sign of solidarity, Mayor Martin Weitmann launched a call for donations on Friday after 42-year-old firefighter Alexandra Radomsky from Ducherow died in the fight against cancer. Her death not only leaves a gap in the fire brigade, where she often took over the operations management and worked as a group leader, but also in the community that she passionately supported.

Weitmann was overwhelmed by the prompt and great willingness to donate of the citizens. A good four -digit sum had already come together until noon of the same day. "I coordinated the fundraising campaign with the family of Alexandra to help them financially in this difficult time," said the mayor. Alexandra leaves four children, and the financial support should help the family to process the loss and to master the challenges.

The legacy of a fighter

Alexandra Radomsky was not only a committed firefighter who actively contributed to the community, but also an important part of the social structure in Ducherow. You will always remember your commitment to community festivals and for the security of the citizens.

But she is not the only firefighter who is currently fighting for her life. A look at the situation in Saarland shows the story of Marie Fay, a 31-year-old firefighter from Saarbrücken who has been fighting bone cancer for seven years. Despite numerous treatments, she is currently managed as a palliative patient and her family is looking for financial support for an alternative therapy that amounts to around 46,000 euros. So far, they have been able to collect over 26,000 euros in donations, which is a progress of 58% of the goal. Here, too, possible surpluses to cancer companies should be passed on to help other affected people

Cancer as a hard reality

annually in Germany over 500,000 people fall ill with cancer, and more than 50% of these diseases are fatal reports gofundme . The fight against this insidious illness is not only a medical challenge, but also brings financial burdens. Not only treatment costs are added here, but also loss of earnings and other necessary expenses that many affected people bring into a precarious situation.

In such cases, initiatives such as that of Weitmann and the crowdfunding examples of successful actions, for example from Thomas, who collected over 10,000 euros for his leukeman treatment, can offer valuable help. Today it is essential that the community is together to stand up to those who fight cancer.

The support of the initiatives is an important step to draw attention to the topic and to give the person concerned. It is up to all of us not to look away and offer help.
