Only an eleven-year-old lost her mother in the attack in Würzburg.
Then she stood penniless.
An association wanted to help her now - but encountered hurdles.
Würzburg - Three people lost their lives in Würzburg on June 25 this year.
A 32-year-old assassin killed three women with a knife.
Nine other people were injured, some of them life-threateningly, by the man.
The mother of an eleven-year-old also died in the attack.
Now an association has collected donations for the girl.
But it is difficult to get the money to her.
Assassination attempt in Würzburg: more than 200,000 euros in donations were raised
She herself was one of the critically injured.
The eleven-year-old from the district of Würzburg * survived the knife wounds of the 32-year-old attacker.
Her 49-year-old single mother was not so lucky.
She succumbed to her injuries.
In order to support the girl who was penniless after the deed, the association “Würzburg shows heart” started a fundraising campaign.
The campaign was also supported by the district of Würzburg, writes the news portal
infranken.de
.
Among other things, the girl was to be guaranteed therapeutic help with the money.
She should somehow manage to come to terms with the terrible deed.
The action found numerous supporters.
Donors from all over Germany - both private individuals and companies - wanted to help the eleven-year-old.
Sometimes there were individual donations of up to 25,000 euros.
In the end, around 200,000 euros were raised.
"Nobody of us would have thought that the whole republic would get involved and that it would be so well received," said Judith Jörg, second chairwoman of the association, in an interview with
infranken.de
.
"Our job is now to transfer the money to the girl."
Assassination attempt in Würzburg: bureaucratic hurdles make handing over donations difficult
The eleven-year-old, who is now staying with her father and brother, has not yet received any of the money.
So far, bureaucratic hurdles have prevented a transfer.
Because the sum is so high that she could lose her social benefits as a result.
In addition, she would still have to pay tax on the amount.
The association has now teamed up with the tax office and tax experts in order to still be able to help the girl.
The alleged assassin was examined by two experts.
They independently determined that the 32-year-old was incapable of guilt.
A lawsuit can still occur.
The man could then be admitted to a mental health facility.
