School start in danger: Nursing Service terminates support for fourth graders in a wheelchair

Community mobilizes for Feli: New school start questionable

In addition to anticipation, the upcoming return to everyday school life also brings great uncertainty for Felicitas (Feli). As a lively fourth grader in a wheelchair, she needs intensive care that goes beyond everyday tasks such as dressing and moving out. Her parents, Jessica and Sven Gansewig, emphasize the importance of a professional caregiver who takes care of Felis medical and nursing needs.

Feli is dependent on support in order to be able to cope with everyday school life. From catheterization to the correct medication and sufficient fluid intake - all of these tasks require specialized specialist knowledge that a conventional school companion cannot do.

solidarity in the neighborhood

After the previous nursing service canceled for financial reasons, Feli's new school start is in the stars. The costs for a trained nurse amount to 55 euros per hour, while only 42 euros are paid. The difference has so far been applied by the nursing service, but this practice is no longer wearable. Payment of nurses must be appropriate to ensure high -quality support.

The Situation has called on the neighborhood, which is shown in solidarity and is looking for solutions to enable Feli to start school. A joint commitment is made to raise the necessary financial support and to find a suitable caregiver for Feli. The willingness to stand up for each other and support each other shows the strength and cohesion in the community.
