Petra (name changed) has suffered from depression for over 20 years, accompanied by chronic pain. She has been under medical treatment for many years and even the specialists simply don't know what to do anymore. She contacts the peer program in desperation and tells us about her crisis.
After a long conversation with our peer counselor and project manager, Petra found the strength to start inpatient therapy. Following this, the project manager organised another exchange between Petra and a peer counselor who herself had years of experience with depression and chronic pain. The two were in regular contact for several months. Petra is very grateful and explains:
«I couldn't even talk openly with my therapist and I didn't feel understood there either.»

How we help parents of children with disabilities
Angela (name changed) has a seven-year-old son with autism. In her search for help, she came across our digital support center for parents of children with disabilities. Grateful for the opportunity to find out about various topics and to get in touch with other parents, she writes:
«Now I know who to turn to if I need advice other than that of our pediatrician. Keep up the good work!»

How we help in Ukraine
Oleksandr asked EnableMe for support because his 100 kg electric wheelchair had to be transported from Ukraine to Germany. Due to his complex disability, he is dependent on this special wheelchair, which he could not take with him during the evacuation. Helpers from EnableMe Ukraine contacted numerous volunteers and transport companies and finally found someone who brought the wheelchair to Germany free of charge.
«Thank you very much, my 100 kg wheelchair will be delivered from Ukraine to Germany free of charge!»

Domino registered in the self-help forum in 2009, which at the time
was still under the name of the MyHandicap Foundation. In recent years, says the
member, "many questions have been answered and valuable tips given
." According to Domino, the helpful contributions from the moderators and personal reports
from those affected make dealing with one's own disability
more bearable.
«I am happy to be part of this community for those affected and their families.»
