Daria Fedko

My dear network,

Today I’m reaching out for support during a very difficult moment for my family.

My mom needs to urgently continue her oncology treatment in Germany, and she will be arriving at the end of December to access specialized medical care in North Rhine-Westphalia.

We are currently looking for a small apartment or room to rent for 1–2 months, ideally in one of the cities near Bochum or Münster:

📍 Bochum region: Herne, Essen, Gelsenkirchen, Witten, Hattingen
📍 Münster region: Senden, Greven, Nottuln, Dülmen, Selm

The key requirement is that the address allows official registration (Anmeldung), which is necessary for her to receive health insurance and continue treatment without interruption.

She will be traveling with my dad, so a space suitable for two would be perfect. We will, of course, cover all rent and related costs.

If you happen to know anyone who could help, whether with temporary accommodation, a connection to a landlord, or simply pointing us in the right direction, it would mean a lot to us. 🤍

I hope this treatment works and she sees her grandson growing up. 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for any support you can offer, and simply for reading this.

With gratitude,
Daria
