🚨 Urgent Humanitarian Appeal 🚨
Dear friends, I am pleading for your kindness and compassion… 💔
My family of 9 is living in a fragile tent with almost no basic necessities, and we desperately need help to provide food and medicine.
My sister is suffering from severe anemia and extreme malnutrition, and she has been without her medication for 3 days. Her condition is getting worse day by day. We are struggling to survive, and even when we manage to find food, we cannot afford the medicine she urgently needs.
Any donation — even just $1 — could help us get through this hardship and save my sister’s life 🙏
And if you cannot donate, please share this post so it may reach someone who can help.
Please do not leave us alone in this pain… 🇵🇸💔

Sophie im letzten Sonnenlicht auf dem ehemaligen Expogelände in Hannover. Eins meiner absoluten Lieblingsportraits. Es war ein wunderschöner Sommertag im August. Das Shooting war eigentlich schon beemdet aber ich wollte noch das letzte Licht ausnutzen. Die Location, eine Wiese mit Obstbäumen, liegt leicht exponiert am Stadtrand von Hannover. Das Ergebnis spricht für sich, wie ich finde.
