Dead woman at birth, colleagues surprise Kosovar with their help

Sometimes luck is heavy.

Many people are left speechless in the face of such tragedy and do not act. But not over 150 employees of the Odenwäller company from Butterstad, writes op-online.de.

To help a young colleague who was badly fortunate, these workers launched an unusual relief and comfort effort, broadcasting albinfo.ch.

The young man from Kosovo (which is not named, v.j.) lost his wife a few weeks ago and remained alone with a newborn baby. The 30-year-old already has weeks of hope and despair behind him.

Disaster began at the beginning of the year when both parents were sick of the coronary virus. The new mother was in the seventh month of pregnancy at the time.

Unfortunately, the disease flow for the new mother is serious. That's why the baby had to be born with a cesarean emergency cut. This happened in late January, broadcasts albinfo.ch. The newborn boy weighed only 980 grams, and after the cesarean cut, the new mother is put in artificial coma to keep breathing.

Despite good medical care at Frankfurt University Hospital, her condition was becoming worse. She's been in a coma for two months and she's been fighting a lot of complications. On Monday (March 15th), the young woman loses her fight and dies without ever seeing her young son, who is now well under way.

Even though his new father has worked for him for a few years at the company, his colleagues have expressed great kindness. Lucas Odenwäller, the new company chief, says he is unaware of any other such bad case of the coronary. He finally raised the idea of giving his colleague a day off.

Odenwäller launches a call among the workers that anyone who wants to help can donate days off to the new father.

He (Kosovo) could then decide for himself whether to take them as a day of rest or turning to money.

“We are a family business, I myself have three young children”, explains Lucas Odenwäller. The company has a social responsibility for its employees, he says.

Nobody would be indifferent to the fate of their colleague. Many of the 150 employees here are with new families, broadcast albinfo.ch. “As a gardening company, dominated by males, we were therefore strongly identified with our new father”.

The willingness to help was so great that we have now accumulated over 160 days of vacation.

Thus, we will pay 200 euros per employee every day for the day and 100 euros for stryger” (exert, Italics) writes Lucas Odenwäller in the call to run the workers.

The company then increases these sums in half.

Lucas Odenwäller is pleased not only with the fact that his father is receiving this great support. He's also proud of the workers. It's a great team spirit, having such employees. For a director it's something very good”

The one helping was also excited by the sympathy and the amount given. “He hadn't expected anything like this” reports his boss, conveys albinfo.ch.

The new father had come to Germany from Kosovo just a few years ago, and not only has he found an employer at the Odenwäller GmbH, but, of course, he has also found a large family.
