<div>On August 5, 2025, my friends <strong>Franziska </strong>and <strong>Niklas </strong>lost everything in a devastating fire near Tarifa, southern Spain. I am writing these words because I want to support them in this difficult time, <strong>as well</strong> as a <strong>Spanish family </strong>who lives on the same property and was also affected. They live there in harmony, with gratitude and respect for nature and people.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The fire was started by a campervan in the area. Due to strong winds, the flames spread quickly and turned into a large, destructive wildfire. Within a very short time, the fire reached the entire property. The bungalow and the camper truck my friends were living in were completely destroyed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They were able to rescue their dog Nuffy at the very last moment. Sadly, their two birds, Ocean and Birdi, did not survive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Spanish family, who had been living on the land for decades, also lost a house and their animals in the fire.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Both families are in shock, they have lost everything and they urgently need support. Any donations collected through this campaign will be shared fairly between the two families.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And here is a recent news report in which Niklas was interviewed: <a href="https://www.telecinco.es/noticias/andalucia/20250807/desolacion-katia-diego-incendio-tafira-vida-calcinada_18_016318797.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://www.telecinco.es/noticias/andalucia/20250807/desolacion-katia-diego-incendio-tafira-vida-calcinada_18_016318797.html" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.telecinco.es/noticias/andalucia/20250807/desolacion-katia-diego-incendio-tafira-vida-calcinada_18_016318797.html</a></a>

</div>
<div>Every gesture counts in helping them start over and of course, we will keep you updated on how your contributions are used.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for your help and compassion.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
