The future of debt counseling in Grevesmühlen is on the brink!

In Grevesmühlen, this threatens to end the debt counseling, which has been supported by people in financial needs for almost 30 years. Thoralf Wecke, the head of the facility, has accompanied countless fates and currently looks after around 500 clients. But the future is uncertain: the unemployment association, which operates the advice, has announced that it will change its concept and only work on a voluntary basis in the future. In a few days, the door could finally close for the advice center.

The situation is dramatic! "If we do not know in the next few days whether it will continue, then we are forced to hand over all clients to hand over their files and to tell them that they have to look for another counseling center," warns Wake. There are alternatives in Wismar and Gadebusch, but the consultants there are already overloaded. Clients should expect waiting times of at least six months - for many a financial ruin.

DRK district association as a hope sponsor

If the talks are successful, the DRK district association not only plans to take over the four employees, but also a move to the Bürgerbahnhof. "We are already accommodated there with some advice. The most important reason is that it is anonymous there than in the city center," explains Giewald. It is optimistic that a solution is found after the talks with the district have been promising.
