Towing service Offenbach: Bad angel” or lifesaver in action?
On the road, where the hustle and bustle is often unpredictable, Mirza Cehadarevic from Towing Service Offenbach goes to work tirelessly. The Balkan native, who has been working for the towing service for four years, describes his diverse tasks as “variable”: sometimes as a villain who clears favorite parking spaces, and sometimes as a “yellow angel” who supports drivers in distress. Cehadarevic has the right knack for the challenges his job brings with it. The orders come mainly from requests from the police, city administrations or private individuals and he starts his working day every morning at 6 a.m.
His phone often rings during the day and he usually only has 30 minutes to get to the scene. He is a sought-after man, especially for the Frankfurt public order office. “Work can be stressful, especially when things have to happen quickly,” he says. However, Cehadarevic is not only responsible for towing, but also for operations in the event of breakdowns and accidents in cooperation with the ADAC and other organizations.
Helper in need
One of the most impressive experiences for Cehadarevic was when he provided first aid in an accident. “There is nothing more important than helping people,” he points out the importance of his work. However, there are also boundaries that he sets for himself: he avoids operations involving serious accidents involving children for reasons of respect. During his work, he always wears a reflective warning suit in order to be visible and therefore safe during operations on the road. “Safety comes first,” emphasizes the towing service employee.
The dangers associated with his profession are not just theoretical. In 2024, an ADAC breakdown assistant tragically died in an accident on the motorway. Such events encourage Cehadarevic to always be on guard and at the same time help the people he meets.
Life in the USA: SNAP and food aid
Justice Indira Talwani ruled that the government is required by law to use emergency funds for partial payments. Assisting Judge John J. McConnell, Jr. issued a preliminary injunction to block an impending funding freeze, requiring the Trump administration to pay out SNAP benefits in full by Monday and report the status of the distribution to the court.
The SNAP program provides eligible U.S. citizens with monthly assistance averaging $194 per household, which can be used for grocery purchases through prepaid cards. The program becomes a lifesaver for many, especially in times of uncertainty, such as when unemployment benefit benefits end after 26 weeks.
Whether in Cologne or in the USA, the challenges are diverse, but people like Mirza Cehadarevic and the support programs in the states show that help is urgently needed and is readily given.
