Using Wegenfund Causes
Using Personal Causes
“You are never strong enough that you don’t need help.”
While life is full "ups" and "downs", some "downs" are hard to face without support from friends or family. That is why Wegenfund allows the creation of Personal Causes — so individuals facing hardships can create a personal Cause and fundraise from their friends, family or just good Samaritans.
Here is how to start a personal Cause:
