Sven Fitschen, Rotenburg, Niedersachsen—The community mourns the unexpected passing of Sven Fitschen, who passed away on October 14, 2024. Known for his resilience and determination, Sven was a respected figure who, despite living with a 100% mental and physical disability, dedicated his life to advocating for inclusion and equality for people with disabilities.
Sven worked at Rewe in his local area and was admired for proving that individuals with disabilities can lead meaningful and productive lives. His unwavering belief in the importance of inclusion was central to his identity, and he was proud when his efforts were recognized, especially when his photograph was displayed on posters throughout the city—a moment of validation for his lifelong mission.
His sister, Sandra Fitschen, is organizing a fundraiser to help the family cover the significant costs associated with his passing. In a deeply emotional message, Sandra shared how their father is doing his best to manage the overwhelming financial strain during this difficult time. Sven’s family is seeking some stability and support as they navigate the profound loss and the financial burdens that have followed.
On Facebook, Verena Lehrke shared her heartfelt message, saying, "Ich würde mich freuen, wenn es oft geteilt wird. Ich teile es gerne, da ich weiß, wie es ist, jemanden jung und unerwartet zu verlieren und weiß auch, wie hoch die Kosten sein können. Bitte helft der Familie, die Kosten decken zu können."
Donations have begun to flow in, with contributors such as Jessica Jetten offering €30 and Anonymous contributing €10 to the cause. Every donation, no matter the amount, is helping the Fitschen family as they cope with this tragic loss.
We extend our deepest sympathies to Sven’s family. May Sven’s advocacy and his memory continue to inspire those who knew him. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Fitschen family during this incredibly hard time.
