A house fire left a Gratkorn family homeless – but at the same time they were completely overwhelmed: by so much support and love! A similar one was even found for the three-year-old who lost his beloved wooden train!
This year’s Christmas was supposed to be a very special one; it was the first for baby Louis, who is eight months old, and three-year-old Fynn hasn’t talked about anything else for weeks. And then the catastrophe on December 20: “I was changing Fynn when we noticed a kind of blur,” says Heike Münster. “Because we were feeling dizzy, I opened the balcony door.” And then there were the first flames, it started burning in the living room – probably because of a cable.
“My daughter and I were able to save the two little ones through the window and take their first steps.” Just like Heike’s partner, they work together in the fire brigade – and they even received the alarm for their own apartment fire in their cell. telephone!
In any case, the damage is enormous: an estimated 50,000 euros. The family is not complaining, but this is very important to them: “We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts – a thank you is actually far from enough. Because we received overwhelming support in this exceptional situation.”
It started with colleagues from the fire brigade, who took many photos for documentation. The insurance agent interrupted his vacation to assess the damage. A relative immediately took the family of five into his home. The environment currently takes care of 14 velvet paws and the two family dogs – Heike Münster is a great animal lover and cherishes poor cats.
Since everything was broken, “we went to Kik to buy only the most important things, which yielded no less than 500 euros for five people. The cashier asked about our major purchase, we explained everything, then she donated us 100 euros from her own wallet and we got a 20 percent discount.”
Particularly overwhelming: Little Fynn, who is unfortunately still traumatized by the fire and terrified of ever returning home, has especially suffered from the loss of his wooden train. Heike Münster: “Someone made a call for this on social media – and a wooden train was actually found for him!” Small tears therefore dry faster!
