    Description

    I'm Christiane, a single mom to a lively little girl in a wheelchair with spina bifida, an open spinal cord injury. It's a congenital incomplete spinal cord injury.

    We live in the beautiful Black Forest. From our balcony, you can easily imagine yourself surrounded by rolling hills and forests. In the mornings, our little ray of sunshine is at kindergarten, and I'm at work. So you'd have your mornings to yourself and could explore the area.

    In the afternoons, we'd love for you to play, draw, do crafts, visit playgrounds, or go on an outing with our little girl in a wheelchair. We'd love to spend time together on weekends. To give us more time together and get to know each other better, it would be great if you could stay longer (at least two weeks).

    Ich, Christiane, bin eine alleinerziehende Mama eines fitten Rollstuhl-Düsemädchens mit Spina Bifida, einem offenen Rücken. Das ist eine angeborene inkomplette Querschnittslähmung.
    Wir wohnen im super schönen Schwarzwald. Von unserem Balkon kann man sich gut in die hügeligen Wälder träumen. Morgens ist der kleine Sonnenschein im Kindergarten und ich bin in der Arbeit. Deine Vormittage hättest du also für dich und kannst die Gegend erkunden.
    Nachmittags wünschen wir uns, dass du Lust hast mit dem Rollimädchen zu spielen, malen, basteln, Spielplätze zu erobern oder einen Ausflug zu machen. Am Wochenende gerne zusammen. Damit wir etwas Zeit zusammen haben und uns besser kennen lernen können ist es schön, wenn du länger bleibst (mindestens 2 Wochen).

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We can help you learn German, I can show you vegetarian German and Bavarian dishes and how to prepare them, I can teach you to knit, and if you like, you can also go with my daughter to physiotherapy or equine therapy. We also frequently visit friends in a larger community with an organic farm; you're welcome to join us and I'll show you around (I co-founded the community and lived there for five years). I'm great at brainstorming with you or even offer coaching. I'd also love to tell you about my adventures.

    Definitely go on trips into nature (waterfalls, viewpoints, etc.).

    Wir können dir helfen Deutsch zu lernen, ich kann dir vegetarische deutsche und bayrische Gerichte und deren Zubereitung zeigen, ich kann dir Stricken beibringen, du kannst wenn du willst auch mit meiner Tochter zur Physiotherapie oder Reittherapie. Wir besuchen auch häufiger Freunde in einer gößeren Lebensgemeinschaft mit Bio-Bauernhof, da kannst du gerne mit und ich zeige dir einiges (ich habe die Gemeinschaft mit gegrüdet und 5 Jahre dort gelebt). Ich kann super mit dir Brainstormen oder auch ein Coaching anbieten. Außerdem kann ich dir gerne von meinen Abenteuern erzählen.
    auf jeden Fall Ausflüge in die Natur (Wasserfälle, Aussichtspunkte...)

    Accommodation

    You have your own room in our apartment, with a private toilet, and a shower and bathtub are available in the family bathroom.

    You can have breakfast whenever and however you like. I think it would be nice to eat lunch and dinner together most of the time and take turns cooking.

    Du hast dein eigenes Zimmer bei uns in der Wohnung, eine eigene Toilette und Dusche und Badewanne stehen im Familienbadezimmer zur Verfügung.
    Frühstücken kannst du wann und wie du willst. Ich fände es schön meistens gemeinsam Mittag- und Abend zu essen und abwechselnd zu kochen.
