There was certainly no doubt when Helle and Rasmus Bjerg were asked if they would like to be ambassadors for poor children.
The couple, who together have four children, say in a major interview with Alt for damerne that they themselves knew through their upbringing that there was not enough money for the whole month.
Rasmus Bjerg’s wife says in the interview that growing up in an artist family made the actor consider dropping a life in the spotlight because he could not be under constant pressure when it came to the economy.
Both Helle and Rasmus remember back to childhood, when there were to be small coins in the drawers in the middle of the month, and how Helle’s mother had to throw goods back from the shopping belt.

Take care of the money
Therefore, the two also chose a frugal life when they got together as 19 and 17 year olds.
– We had both lived with that constant insecurity that lies in never having enough money, and when we moved together, we had a small wooden box where we put money aside for food. We even went on holiday, even though we were at SU, because we were so smart with our money, says Helle Bjerg in the interview.
The couple today have an excellent economy, but they also do a lot to teach their four children about scarcity and money.
Therefore, it is also natural for them to reach out and help families who need guidance.
