Missappropriated funds intended for terminally ill adolescents in Munich have vanished, sparking a financial scandal.
In the small town of Ottobrunn, authorities are investigating an embezzlement case that has left a local family in a difficult situation. The case centres around donated funds intended to help terminally ill Maurice-Joel, a young boy whose health has been deteriorating.
Maurice-Joel's tumour has grown again, affecting his sense of balance, leaving him weak, dizzy, and requiring long recovery times and a lot of sleep. Despite these challenges, the family remains hopeful and is appealing for donations to help cover the costs of Maurice-Joel's treatment and daily life expenses.
The family's initial donation link, https://gofund.me/0d9006ef, has been exhausted, and a new campaign, titled "Maurice-Joel wants to live. Help and give him time!", has been launched on gofundme to continue raising funds.
The funds donated are intended for barrier-free living, trips to specialized clinics, supplementary treatments, shared time together, further therapies, radiation, chemotherapy, medications, and other uncovered costs related to Maurice-Joel's treatment. However, the family has only received ten percent of the donations, leading them to file a criminal complaint with the police.
The family has moved from a non-barrier-free rental apartment in Ottobrunn to a rental house with a garden in Brunnthal, hoping that these funds will help them secure a more suitable living environment for Maurice-Joel.
As the investigation continues, the family is exploring new treatment possibilities, speaking with doctors in and outside Germany, and examining studies and treatment concepts from the USA and Europe. They remain hopeful and grateful for the support they have received so far, and continue to appeal for donations to help Maurice-Joel in his fight against illness.
