Help Heivi stay! — Crowdfunding on wemakeit

I’m crowdfunding one year of rent in Zürich (9'600 CHF) to resist soft eviction, stay in the city, and turn housing precarity into a public, quirky act of survival. Let’s refuse to disappear.

I back this project because I show up on demo this year and felt kind of lonely, what happens quite rarely to me in life! I have just moved into a temporary room (how else) in Opfikon. I felt like I come from so much different background that most of people protesting. I own properties in EU on one hand and being happy as a simple working class in Switzerland. Still remembering the priviledged position I used to have in my homeland, being at Heivi’s age. Although, I work hard and don’t expect any social support... I cannot stand looking at the country counting their carbon footprint on every grocery item, damaging the houses like if they were made of paper. Where is the consequence about the environment? Life is more than money. Your pension will be enough to survive winter. Home is a sacrum. A happy neighbour is a real measure of luxury life.

Choose your reward:

CHF 80.-3 taken
Heivi's ex-roommate
You used to share a flat with Heivi when you were a student: the one with the gas kitchen and the cabinet that needed a spoon to stay shut. Now you've landed a more stable life: a real contract, maybe even a pension plan. You jump in financially in remembering your time with Heivi, the smell of shared laundry, burnt toast, and hand-written fridge notes. In return you get a relic from her apartement and a hand-written letter capturing the memories of your time together.
Plus, your name will appear in the credits of the video as a heartfelt thank-you.
CHF 140.-5 taken
Heivi's grandpa
You believe she deserves some comfort and support, even if it means cheering her on from a distance with what you have. Honestly, you’d rather she just moved back in, you really miss her...
In return, Heivi invites you to a shared fondue/wine evening at her place. It's about time you come to Zurich anyway.
Plus, your name will appear in the credits of the video as a heartfelt thank-you.
CHF 200.-3 taken
Heivi's godfather
You’re a dignified man with a soft heart, who believes in giving quietly but meaningfully. Like a protective father watching over Zlara (and now Heivi) you want to offer support that helps without drawing attention.
Heivi invites you to a shared fondue/wine evening at her place and gives you a personal thank-you letter and a sound track of herself reading a passage of Heidi’s original book. It’s about time you come to Zurich anyway.
Plus, your name will appear in the credits of the video as a heartfelt thank-you.
CHF 1’000.-0 / 3 taken
Heivi's patron
You don’t personally face eviction. From your comfortable home on Züriberg, Heivi’s story moved you deeply. Supporting culture and young creatives just feels like the right thing to do.
Heivi invites you to an intimate studio visit. You’ll spend an afternoon together enjoying mountain cheese, fresh bread, and good conversation about art and culture. She also gives you one of the original cardboard sign she used in this year’s wohndemo (hand-lettered, possibly rain-stained), full of feeling. You'll get a copy of the crowdfunding video on a custom USB stick as well, a tangible piece of her journey and commitment.
Plus, your name will appear in the credits of the video as a heartfelt thank-you.
