For a good cause

What is it about?

It is important to me that Mibero does not only serve an end in itself. I want this project to stand for something good. I decided to support the German Depression League e.V. - with my possibilities. And I am happy if you help me with that.

Why an organization for People with depression?

The topic is close to my heart - and very personally.


Depression is a taboo: sufferers are afraid of stigmatization. Those who do not know the disease have a hard time dealing with those affected. We can all talk about a broken leg. This can be seen from the outside and limping is then widely accepted. If not the bones but the soul breaks, you don't see a cast and the symptoms - the depressive limping - are quickly dismissed: "You again with your fucking mood. Just smile!"


We should talk about it, because I worked in the insurance industry for almost 20 years. That's why I know that depression is now one of the main triggers for occupational disability and an immense problem for our health care, the national and insurance industries.


I also have several years of treatment, 6 weeks of inpatient clinic and medication for severe depression behind me. Even today, they sometimes still make my life difficult. That's just the way it is. I can say firsthand: depression and bad mood are completely different. One goes away when we are hugged. The other makes us feel like we no longer deserve a hug.


Today I am grateful that the healthcare system took me very seriously and that I received help. That's why I want to give something back


Why the Deutsche Depressionsliga e.V.?


I heard about it for the first time from your patron Torsten Sträter, slam poet and comedian. Torsten Sträter speaks openly about it, in his unmistakable humor through which I can laugh tears. I was personally grateful for his appearance with Kurt Krömer (show "Chez Krömer" on Youtube).

 

The German Depression League e.V. is a non-profit organization for those affected, it stands for help and self-help, both for those affected and for their relatives. She advocates the topic of depression vis-à-vis politics and society.

 

In the meantime, I am a full member of the German Depression League e.V. out of conviction.


Together we have already donated

503,00 EUR

to the German Depression League e.V.

Thanks a lot for your support!

How can we help?

1.

Through membership as an affected person or relative. Don't worry, the contribution is not high, but comes to the German Depression League regularly.

I myself am now a full member.

2.

By buying from Mibero, because for each sold product I put aside a small part of the income and donate this amount per PayPal to the German Depression League, if it has grown to at least 20.00 EUR each.

3.

With a "tip for a good cause".

So if you want to give a little more, you can tip in the shop, you determine the amount. You put it in the shopping cart and pay for it when ordering. I do not keep this tip for myself but

put it aside 100% for the donation.
