Dear friends and kind-hearted people,

My name is Alen, and I am raising funds for the funeral of my uncle Mido and to support the five children he leaves behind.

There are moments in life that shatter an entire family into a thousand pieces. In a single instant, an unimaginably cruel and senseless event changed all of our lives forever.

Our beloved Mido was suddenly taken from us in the midst of his life. He was the heart, the foundation, and the rock of a large family. Mido leaves behind five children — two younger daughters aged 13 and 16, as well as three adult children aged 23, 24, and 25 — together with their mother and other close family members who are now trying to support one another through this devastating loss.

Mido was the person who held the family together and was their main financial provider. He devoted himself to caring for his loved ones and, above all, was a source of stability, safety, and support for his children.

His two youngest daughters have now lost the person who played such a central role in their everyday lives. Their mother, older siblings, and close family members are doing everything in their power to support them and keep the family together during this incredibly difficult time.

The despair, grief, and pain are impossible to put into words. Alongside the unbearable loss, the family is now also facing serious financial uncertainty. There are funeral expenses, ongoing household costs, and the everyday needs of the children and other family members who relied on Mido.

There simply are not enough financial resources to give Mido the dignified funeral he deserves as a loving father and family man, while also helping his children and family through this first and most difficult period.

We are asking you from the bottom of our hearts for your help. Our greatest wish is to relieve the family of at least some of their immediate financial fears, so that they can grieve and begin to come to terms with this terrible loss without having to worry about how they will manage the next day.

Your donations will be used for:

• **A dignified farewell:** Funeral and burial expenses for Mido.

• **Support for his children and family:** Ongoing living expenses, household costs, and support for the two youngest daughters, aged 13 and 16, as the family adjusts to life without him.

Every single dollar — no matter how small the amount — gives this devastated family a little piece of hope.

If you are unable to donate, you can still help us enormously by sharing this fundraiser with others.

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for every act of compassion, every donation, and every time this fundraiser is shared.

With deepest sorrow,

Alen Arapovic

Dragi ljudi,

zovem se Alen i prikupljam pomoć za dženazu mog dajdže Mide i za njegovu djecu.

Naš voljeni Mido je iznenada i tragično izgubio život. Njegova smrt je veliki šok i bol za cijelu porodicu.

Iza sebe je ostavio petero djece — dvije kćerke od 13 i 16 godina i troje odrasle djece od 23, 24 i 25 godina. Tu su i njihova majka i drugi bliski članovi porodice koji sada pokušavaju zajedno izdržati ove teške dane.

Mido je bio glavni oslonac porodice. Brinuo je o svojoj djeci, pomagao svojoj porodici i bio osoba na koju su se svi mogli osloniti.

Njegove dvije najmlađe kćerke sada su ostale bez svog oca i bez sigurnosti koju im je on pružao. Njihova majka, starija braća i sestre i ostala porodica sada pokušavaju biti uz njih i pomoći im koliko mogu.

Pored velike tuge, porodica se sada suočava i s finansijskim problemima. Potrebno je platiti troškove dženaze, svakodnevne troškove života, troškove domaćinstva i pomoći djeci u ovom teškom periodu.

Zato vas od srca molimo za pomoć.

Donacije će biti korištene za:

• troškove dženaze i ukopa Mide

• pomoć njegovoj djeci

• troškove domaćinstva i svakodnevnog života

• podršku njegovim dvjema najmlađim kćerkama

Svaka pomoć znači mnogo, bez obzira na iznos.

Ako niste u mogućnosti donirati, puno bi nam značilo da podijelite ovaj apel.

Od srca hvala svima na pomoći, podršci i lijepim riječima.

Alen Arapovic

Liebe Mitmenschen,

ich heiße Alen und sammle Spenden für die Beerdigung meines Onkels Mido und zur Unterstützung seiner Kinder.

Unser geliebter Mido ist plötzlich und auf tragische Weise ums Leben gekommen. Sein Tod ist ein großer Schock und eine enorme Belastung für die ganze Familie.

Er hinterlässt fünf Kinder – zwei Töchter im Alter von 13 und 16 Jahren sowie drei erwachsene Kinder im Alter von 23, 24 und 25 Jahren. Dazu kommen ihre Mutter und weitere enge Familienangehörige, die jetzt versuchen, gemeinsam durch diese schwere Zeit zu kommen.

Mido war der wichtigste Halt der Familie. Er kümmerte sich um seine Kinder, unterstützte seine Familie und war jemand, auf den sich alle verlassen konnten.

Seine beiden jüngsten Töchter haben nun ihren Vater und damit auch einen großen Teil ihrer Sicherheit verloren. Ihre Mutter, die älteren Geschwister und die restliche Familie versuchen jetzt, für sie da zu sein und sie so gut wie möglich aufzufangen.

Neben der großen Trauer steht die Familie nun auch vor finanziellen Problemen. Es müssen die Beerdigungskosten, laufende Lebenshaltungskosten, Kosten für das Zuhause und die Unterstützung der Kinder getragen werden.

Deshalb bitten wir euch von Herzen um Hilfe.

Die Spenden werden verwendet für:

• die Beerdigungskosten von Mido

• die Unterstützung seiner Kinder

• laufende Haushalts- und Lebenshaltungskosten

• die Unterstützung der beiden jüngsten Töchter

Jede Hilfe zählt, ganz egal wie hoch der Betrag ist.

Wenn ihr nicht spenden könnt, hilft es uns sehr, wenn ihr diesen Aufruf teilt.

Von Herzen vielen Dank für jede Unterstützung, jede Spende und jedes Mitgefühl.

In großer Trauer

Alen Arapovic
