First step
I call the Frauenhaus Neumünster: 04321 – 46733. There I get to know
whether there are any vacancies. If so, I will get all the necessary
information.
Second step
I pack my suitcase
identity card / passport
certificate of birth
family register
statements of account
bank card
cash (if there is any)
certificate of employment / pension
health insurance card
necessary medication
wage tax card
residence / working permit
rental agreement
keys
Third
step – if necessary
pack your child’s / children’s suitcase
certificate of birth
identity card / passport
health insurance card
child allowance number
medicamentation
gelbes Untersuchungsheft (the yellow medical
record for children)
vaccination card
school supplies
school reports
decisions about child custody
favourite toys
As it might be difficult to achieve important documents later, take as
many as possible with you.
Forth step
I take the suitcase(s), step out the door and leave. In the woman’s
refuge I will find help on my way to a self-determined life.
