About this project
Alex G. from Lächelwerk e.V. is responsible for this project
Theo is a miracle. ❤️
The fact that he lives, breathes and smiles is a miracle.
That he brings light into the hearts of his loved ones is a miracle.
That he has such an infectious, enchanting laugh is also a miracle.
Theo was born far too early in 2020, in the 25th week of pregnancy. An emergency caesarean section. Resuscitation. Blood transfusion. Paralyzing fear for mom and dad.
Theo was tiny, just 35 centimetres. A handful of a human being. After his difficult birth, there were many weeks of deep concern for the little man. First Theo spent a long time in the intensive care unit, then a long time in the premature baby ward. But his fighting heart, his will to live was enormous. And he still is!
Because Theo is getting bigger and heavier. However, he cannot move without the help of his mom and dad. Theo also has a severe visual impairment. Nobody knows how much he can really see. All of this poses great challenges for his family. Carrying and lifting Theo becomes more and more strenuous. Going up and down stairs is a real health risk - for mom, dad and Theo. Theo's naturally wider and larger wheelchairs also have to be carried up and down the stairs.
The simplest solution to help this loving family: an elevator in the house.
This requires, among other things, the elevator underpass with earthworks, the elevator shaft, demolition work in the existing building, plastering and insulation work, skilled workers' hours and materials. A total sum of around 75,000 euros has been estimated. A sum that Theo and his loved ones would never be able to raise. Yet the elevator is essential for family life - and the health of mom, dad and their little sunshine.
Let's help this wonderful family together! Let's ease their path, which is paved with many hurdles! If everyone gives what they can, we can achieve a lot. Together for Theo! Together for a family that has to fight a lot - and faces all challenges with a lot of courage and mutual love.
Thank you for all your help. ❤️
