Guardians4ME is a WE&ME program that offers volunteers the opportunity to support the millions of ME/CFS patients.
- Twenty million people currently remain unheard and unseen. Let’s join forces and give them a voice.
- You can sponsor a ME/CFS patient, regardless of whether you know someone personally or decide to help one of the countless people who are currently overlooked and underserved by society.
- Your skills, your choice. You can contribute by writing a patient’s story, creating content, managing social media, shooting videos, or any other skill you possess.
We strongly support those affected by ME/CFS.

Julia Scheve, BSc
Julia, is a management consultant and fitness trainer based in Vienna. She witnessed her best friend Christoph decline due to ME/CFS and now supports the WE&ME Foundation by helping to raise awareness of the disease.
Kathrin Fuchs
My name is Kathrin, and my support for the WE&ME Foundation is deeply personal. Christoph has been one of my favorite people since my school days. His fate and the fight against ME/CFS therefore move me directly. As someone who works in the pharmaceutical industry, I know from experience that even the smallest building block can contribute to something really big. This knowledge motivates me to support the work of the foundation so that research and education can make decisive progress. That is why I am firmly on Christoph’s and the Foundation’s side.
Laura Karasinski
Laura, a creative person of many talents, actively contributes to Guardians4ME by photographing portraits of our team. She has a long-standing friendship with Christoph, and thanks to her generous donation of time and talent, we have benefited from her creative output. This has allowed us to focus on building the WE&ME Foundation.
Awareness for ME/CFS
Everyone can make a difference
ME/CFS is a serious, often invisible disease. Many of those affected lose their normal lives – their work, their education, their social contacts. This makes it all the more important that we look, talk about it and make the disease visible.
Awareness does not have to be big or perfectly organized. It starts with compassion – and with the desire not to look away.
Sometimes it comes about through music, through involvement in a school, through a sporting challenge or a run, through an event in a club or through an initiative from a circle of friends. Sometimes it grows into a larger evening such as the charity gala “Zeit zum Hinschauen”. And sometimes it simply manifests itself in people coming to a demonstration and showing their presence.
Even in moments of farewell, many families send a strong signal by asking for donations for ME/CFS at funerals.
All these gestures – silent or visible, small or large – give those affected a voice. Awareness means working together to make visible what has been overlooked for too long. Together, we can create hope and advance research.
Severely affected people often lie in darkened rooms due to their sensitivity to light and noise and require round-the-clock care. They mainly suffer from extreme stress intolerance, making even small activities such as brushing their teeth a torture.
There are currently no recognized therapies or cures. We therefore campaign for recognition, education and research and with your donation we want to be a ray of hope in the shadowy realm of the disease.

Stories of people affected
Life with ME/CFS
Together, we are on the path to a better life for ME/CFS patients.
Unfortunately, this takes time and does not happen overnight. ME/CFS patients do not simply wake up one day and return to their normal lives.
But there is hope, and we are here to fight for those who can no longer do so themselves. By funding more research and raising awareness, we will achieve our goal.
Step by step.

Every donation, no matter the size, fuels critical research and brings us one step closer to a cure.
