A friend in need: a fundraising campaign for cancer -minded zookeepers Mike
A moving and inspiring call for donations has attracted many people's attention in the past few weeks. Mike Herchenbach, long -time zookeeper in the Cologne Zoo, is fighting against a cancer that has occurred again. The 50-year-old, who was known for a long time for his passion, the care of big cats, faces a difficult challenge. Friend and supporter Dominik Venth launched a donation campaign to help his family in this difficult time.
The personal fight against cancer
Bittersweet Memories shape Mike's life, which suffered cancer two years ago. Immediately before his 48th birthday, he received the devastating diagnosis. After several chemotherapy and a stomach operation, the cancer initially seemed defeated. But the return of cancer and the now aggressive form of the tumor were suddenly in the room. Mike lost weight rapidly and finally could no longer appear to work, which initiated a very challenging phase for him and his family.
The role of Dominik Venth
Dominik Venth started the fundraising campaign on Gofundme.com, not only to offer Mike in his quality of life in his recent months, but also to enable a vacation with the family. "Because after 18 months of illness, Mike receives unemployment benefit, which has not yet been paid out due to an unfinished report," said Venth. The fundraising campaign is supported by many supporters who are willing to express their empathy and solidarity.
The importance of community aid
In times like these, it shows how important it is to have a supportive community. The campaign should not only provide financial relief, but also set a sign of hope. "I would like to enable Mike and his family to have a little quality of life and freedom," explains Venth and appeals to the general public.
one last request
Mike has expressed the desire to leave his children something for their training. With the support of the community, this wish could become a reality. He too is grateful and recognizes the importance of solidarity in this difficult time.
donations and support
The possibility of support remains open. Interested parties can find the project under the keyword "EURE Mithilfe-Fur-Mikes-Restliche-Leben" on the Gofundme.com platform and also give them anonymously if they wish. Each donation counts and supports the family in its difficult time.
The fundraising campaign is an impressive example of how people can come together to support each other in crises. Mike's story inspired and reminds us of how important it is to be there for each other in difficult times.
