No one should be left in our city without the bare necessities.
Recently, we learned about a single mother in Leichlingen who didn’t know how to get through the day financially. This story moved us deeply. Unfortunately, we couldn’t help at that moment – and that’s exactly what we don’t want to happen again.
That’s why we created the emergency fund for Leichlingen .
A donation pot with which we can support people in acute emergency situations quickly, unbureaucratically and directly .
✨ How we help
- We don’t give away cash, but buy the bare necessities together: food, hygiene articles, school supplies or other urgently needed things.
- The help is as uncomplicated as possible, because in an emergency every hour counts.
- At the same time, we pay attention to transparency and honesty so that every donation is used responsibly.
- It is important to us that people in need do not have to lose their last dignity by making their most intimate concerns public.
- In addition, we advise and accompany those affected so that not only the acute need is alleviated, but also a path into the future is possible.
💛 Thanks to our supporters
We owe the fact that the project can start to the first donors.
Even though we can only help a few people at first, it is important to start now. Every day that we can’t help hurts – that’s why every step, no matter how small, counts. And every euro brings us closer to our goal:
