Two daughters are struggling to cope with fate. They need help. For this reason, Volkshilfe has launched a fundraising campaign. How you can help ...

The hard fate of two young half-sisters from Pinkafeld triggered a wave of willingness to help. Their mother was reportedly torn from life at the age of just 42. The woman had suffered a brain haemorrhage and fell into a coma, from which she never woke up in June. A world collapsed for her daughters, 15 and 19.

Girls have to run the household
"We miss our mom every day," they say with heavy hearts. The two are almost on their own, they have to run the household themselves. The only remaining parent, the 15-year-old's "dad", stands by the siblings during this difficult time.

Bank account blocked
As their mother's bank account was blocked after her death, the daughters did not even have any money. Friends of the deceased stepped in and helped out. On the initiative of a councillor from the municipality's social committee, Volkshilfe got involved. In a short time, 9542.91 euros were collected.
