<div>Liebe Freundinnen und Freunde, liebe Bekannte und Unbekannte,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>wir wenden uns an euch mit einem Herzensanliegen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Es war gerade Silvester und eigentlich sollte ein neues Jahr doch positiv starten.
</div>
<div>Robert (40) ist ein liebevoller Vater von drei Kindern (4, 9, 16) und einem Ziehsohn (21), ein wundervoller Partner und ein Mensch, der sein Leben stets mit Freude und Mitgefühl lebt. Er ist ein Macher, der immer für andere da ist.

<div><strong>Explosion in seinen Händen</strong>
</div>
<div>Am 14.01.2025 ging Robert durch den kleinen Güntz-Park in Leipzig, um sich in der Mittagspause die Beine zu vertreten. Er kennt diesen Park seit Jahren, spielte dort schon als Jugendlicher Tischtennis. Auf eben einer dieser Tischtennisplatten lagen Gegenstände, die er für Müll hielt. Die goldene Weihnachtskugel tat er als Unrat ab und wollte ihn beseitigen. Nur handelte es sich leider nicht um achtlos liegengelassene Weihnachtsdeko. Es war ein Sprengkörper, der ihm in beiden Händen explodierte. Die Detonation drang durch seine Winterjacke. Er hat Brandwunden im Gesicht und am Oberkörper. Die Explosion zerfetzte ihm die rechte Hand, verletzte die Linke schwer. Splitter drangen in seine Augen. Er muss Schutzengel bei sich gehabt haben, dass er sein Augenlicht nicht verlor. Ein kleinerer Mensch hätte vielleicht nicht überlebt.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Er wurde im St. Georg Krankenhaus 12 Stunden an beiden Händen notoperiert. Drei Finger sind an der linken Hand gerettet, zwei Finger gedrahtet. An der rechten Hand fehlen Weichgewebe, Haut und Glieder an Daumen, Zeige- und Mittelfinger. In einer zweiten Operation werden Nervenstränge für beide Hände aus den Beinen entnommen und Haut transplantiert, um die rechte Hand zu rekonstruieren. Weitere Operationen werden folgen.
</div>
<div>Er steht nun vor ungewissen Herausforderungen, die sein Leben und das seiner Familie auf den Kopf stellen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Jetzt benötigt er finanzielle Unterstützung mehr denn je für:</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Medizinische Behandlungen (Zuzahlungen) und Spezialtherapien, die nicht von der Krankenkasse getragen werden (spezielle Physiotherapie).
</li>
<li>Hilfsmittel und Technik, die seinen Alltag erleichtern und ihm helfen, seine Selbstständigkeit zurückzugewinnen. Die linke Hand wird seine Haupthand werden.
</li>
<li>Physiotherapeutische Behandlung und Spezialbehandlungen für die Funktionsoptimierung beider Hände.
</li>
<li>Psychologische Behandlung, um die traumatischen Erlebnisse zu verarbeiten und seine mentale Gesundheit zu fördern (wird von der Krankenkasse getragen).
</li>
<li>Aufstockung des Krankengeldes und Existenzsicherung
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Was können wir für ihn tun?</strong>
</div>
<div>Lasst uns gemeinsam dazu beitragen, dass Robert die Hoffnung auf ein unbeschwertes Leben nicht verliert und wir ihm die Unterstützung zukommen lassen, die er verdient. Jeder Euro zählt und bringt ihn einen Schritt näher zu seiner Genesung und verbesserter Lebensqualität. Zudem möchten wir euch ermutigen, aufmerksam zu sein und in der Öffentlichkeit liegende, potenziell gefährliche Gegenstände, die auch wie Christbaumkugeln aussehen können, zu melden, damit solche tragischen Unfälle in Zukunft vermieden werden.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Er ist jetzt schon sehr dankbar für die professionelle und liebevolle Behandlung durch das gesamte <strong>Team der Handchirurgie des Klinikum St. Georg </strong>und ebenso für die schnelle Unterstützung der <strong>August-Hermann-Francke Grundschule (AHF) </strong>und die Sensibilisierung der Kinder in ihrem Stadtteil.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Vielen Dank für eure Unterstützung!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div>Dear friends, acquaintances and strangers,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are addressing you with a heartfelt request.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It was just New Year's Eve and a new year should actually start on a positive note.
</div>
<div>Robert (40) is a loving father of three children (4, 9, 16) and a foster son (21), a wonderful partner and a person who always lives his life with joy and compassion. He is a doer who is always there for others.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Explosion in his hands</strong>
</div>
<div>On 14 January 2025, Robert walked through the small Güntz Park in Leipzig to stretch his legs during his lunch break. He has known this park for years, having played table tennis there as a teenager. On one of these table tennis tables were objects that he thought were rubbish. He dismissed the golden Christmas bauble as rubbish and wanted to get rid of it. Unfortunately, it wasn't just carelessly left Christmas decorations. It was an explosive device that exploded in both of his hands. The detonation penetrated his winter jacket. He has burns on his face and upper body. The explosion shredded his right hand and severely injured his left. Splinters penetrated his eyes. He must have had guardian angels with him so that he didn't lose his sight. A smaller person might not have survived.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He underwent 12 hours of emergency surgery on both hands at St George's Hospital. Three fingers were saved on the left hand, two fingers were wired. On the right hand, soft tissue, skin and limbs on the thumb, index and middle fingers are missing. In a second operation, nerve codes for both hands are removed from the legs and skin is transplanted to reconstruct the right hand. Further operations will follow.
</div>
<div>He is now facing uncertain challenges that will turn his life and that of his family upside down.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now he needs financial support more than ever for:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Medical treatment (hospital co-payments) and specialised therapies that are not covered by health insurance.
</li>
<li>Aids and technology<strong> </strong>that make his everyday life easier and help him regain his independence. The left hand will become his main hand.
</li>
<li>Physiotherapy and special treatments to optimise the function of both hands.
</li>
<li>Psychological support to help him process the traumatic experiences and promote his mental health (covered by insurance).
</li>
<li>Top-up of sick pay
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What can we do for him?</strong>
</div>
<div>Let's work together to ensure that Robert doesn't lose hope of a carefree life and to give him the support he deserves. Every euro counts and brings him one step closer to recovery and an improved quality of life. We would also like to encourage you to be vigilant and report potentially dangerous objects left in public, which may also look like Christmas baubles, so that such tragic accidents can be avoided in the future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He is already very grateful for the professional and caring treatment provided by the entire hand surgery team at the St. Georg Clinic and also for the quick support of the August-Hermann-Francke Primary School (AHF) and for raising awareness among the children in their neighbourhood.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Thank you very much for your support!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Barbara &amp; Antje on behalf of the whole family
</div>
