Fight for survival: The Elmas family urgently needs support!
The story of the Elmas family is one of pain and hope. Melek Elmas reports on the difficult times her family has gone through since her husband Fatih's serious accident. In February 2023, he broke his pelvis, which led to a series of tragic complications, including life-threatening sepsis. After 35 difficult days in the intensive care unit, he returned home in critical condition, but the challenges were far from over. Melek describes the fear of not being able to sleep while waiting for her husband to recover. “I didn’t know how to sleep anymore,” she says. Today, Fatih Elmas struggles with permanent physical and psychological impairments and can no longer work, which further strains the family's financial situation, as Melek has also given up her job due to health problems South German newspaper reported.
The path to hope
The family, which lives in a small two-room apartment, was recently able to move into disabled-accessible accommodation financed by the city. This move brings a ray of hope: Fatih can now open the window and get some fresh air, while Junus, her son, finally has his own space. However, in this new room there is only a bed and a few moving boxes, which shows how much trouble the family is in. The Elmas urgently need winter clothes and new shoes for Junus because money is tight. The Development of the coat of arms of the family symbolizes strength and resilience - qualities that they need more than ever in these difficult times.
The situation becomes even more stressful for Junus due to the challenges at school. His mother notes that he has difficulty talking about it and he becomes more withdrawn. Fortunately, a school social worker can help him so that he doesn't have to repeat the school year again. Despite the ongoing worries about Fatih and the emotional pressure, Melek hopes that the coming year will be better. “I hope 2025 will be better,” she says, showing a glimmer of confidence amid the dark clouds hanging over the family.
