Help for the whole family
Aleyna Bulut beams when her mother Perihan Bulut enters the room. She immediately heads towards her in her wheelchair. And then there is a loving hug. The 20-year-old receives regular visits from her parents. Together with her younger sister, she lives in an intensively supervised home for young people with mental and physical disabilities. The facility is called Noah and is located in the village of Bethel in Bielefeld. Giving up her child was not easy for her, recalls the mother of four. But she could no longer afford the care. Especially because Aleyna's self-harming behaviour increased. At Noah, both daughters are well looked after and cared for around the clock. This is a great relief for the whole family.
