Denser Than a Neutron Star

Heidi's preparations over the last few years, using the money her husband had given her, had not gone to waste. With Heinrich's exceptional organization and management skills being put to efficient use, a series of charitable institutions were founded and operated by Heidi and those under her employment. 

Whether it was a network of orphanages built across the German Reich and the Russian Empire, or a large investment in doctors, nurses, and other humanitarian efforts, by the time the war began, these critical and often overlooked non-profit organizations were not only in full effect but were reaching optimal levels of performance. 

Heidi herself would take one day off every week from managing her own household affairs to visit the orphanages established in Berlin, speaking to the children and seeking to aid them in any way she could. She also did her best to find reputable families of proper moral virtue to adopt them.
