Life

Heidi Schmidt was born the second of four children. Shortly after her birth, she was diagnosed with a heart defect , a health disadvantage that has been with her throughout her life. In April 1991 she received a heart-lung transplant . In 1992, after taking lessons from a private teacher, she did her Abitur externally. In the same year she married Mathias Schmidt, with whom she began an apprenticeship as a deaconess in Minden , but which she had to break off for health reasons. Then she worked in kindergartens and led young groups and children's services .

At first she began to write books for children and young people on the side, in which she integrated her diverse experiences from working in Christian groups of children and young people. Among other things, she described the medical and social problems of seriously ill children, also against the background of her Christian faith, in which she, according to her own admission, found her strength.

Heidi Schmidt was a wheelchair user . She lived and worked in Rüben in the Gifhorn district .

In January 2010 she succumbed to her serious illness.

The author is not identical to a feminist author of the same name born in 1943. (See talk page.)
