Having to bury one’s own child is a nightmare for all parents. Last week in Davos, GR, a family said goodbye to their son († 5) at the Reformed Church of St. Johann. After the abdication, anger and bewilderment are mixed with grief.
A heartless thief entered the church after the ceremony last Tuesday and took the collection. There is no trace of the money that actually went to the Mahana for Kids Foundation, which supports children with liver disease.
“We ask you to return the money!”
In a letter distributed on Facebook through the “Davoser Zeitung”, the parents of the dead child directly address the culprit: “Your action hits us very hard, makes us angry and saddened at the same time. How disrespectful and unscrupulous it is to steal money raised for sick children! “
The family does not want to express themselves to SEE, the pain and anger are still too great. What they expect, the parents clarify in their letter to the thief: “We ask you to use your conscience and your wit and return the money or transfer it directly to the foundation.
Was it inside information?
The president of the parish, Marianne Aguilera (69), is also shocked. She replaced the waitress at the abdication and brought the money to the sacristy. “I am very upset by this incident and at first I could hardly believe it,” she told VIEW.
Aguilera is convinced that the perpetrator must have known how to move through the Church of San Juan, since he accessed through an internal gallery that otherwise would always be closed. “That requires local knowledge. This person was looking for money very specifically, ”says Aguilera.
The parish wants to donate to the foundation
It was the first such incident and they didn’t want to change anything about the open access to St. Johann’s church, which is also popular with tourists. “We couldn’t even count the money in the collection boat. Meanwhile, in the parish we have decided to donate our own amount to the foundation ”, announces Marianne Aguilera.
Anita Senti, media spokesperson for the Graubünden Cantonal Police, confirmed receipt of a criminal complaint at BLICK’s request. She is being investigated for burglary and burglary. Investigations are ongoing. The perpetrator has not yet been identified, ”Senti said.
