Sindelfingen in action: save children's leisure by donating!

in Sindelfingen is currently taking a touching campaign that takes care of the support of people in need. Whenever the regular authorities cannot help, the organization “neighbors in need” is on hand. The initiative has its roots in a need for direct help in crisis situations, and that is exactly the case for a special story that makes headlines, especially in the city.

A social worker recently asked for donations for a child whose mother, the 35-year-old Susanne V., is unable to bear the costs of the city area due to her financial situation. After a fresh divorce, the single mother is in retraining and lives from her training allowance. She is waiting for support from her ex-husband, who is urgently needed so that her child does not remain disappointed. "It would be a great disappointment for the child if it could not participate in their free time," said the social worker. Holiday care is supported by the aid organization in order to offer both the child and the mother urgently needed distraction and relief.

The donations can be transferred to various accounts, including the United Volksbanks (IBAN: DE81603900200250000, BIC: Genodes1BBB) and the Kreissparkasse Böblingen (IBAN: DE1860350139999, BIC: BBKRDE6B). Further information can be found on the website www.nachbarn-in-not.de as well as on their Facebook page. 

The history of the fundraising campaign "Help for the Neighbors", which has been active for over 50 years, shows that this is not an isolated case. Every year around 2 million euros are collected and manage to offer support for around 1,700 people who suffer from diseases, unemployment or other life crises. Since 1989, the funded funds have been added up to almost 41 million euros. 80 partner organizations are involved that manage and distribute the donations. Of these, for example, 46 % flow into furniture and electrical appliances, while 13 % are used for visual aids and dental treatments.

social commitment in times of crisis

This type of support is particularly important, since quick help is also necessary in many other areas, such as in crisis areas. Girls and young women in particular are often disproportionately affected by the consequences of war, natural disasters or displacement. Targeted support is necessary here to reduce the risk of school abortions, forced marriage cases or even sexual violence. In this context, it is important that aid organizations also respond to the special needs of girls and young women when providing relief goods. Hygiene articles, secure toilets and information access are essential reports plan.de .

The population of Sindelfingen again shows how important neighborhood aid and social commitment are. Whether through direct donations or by supporting active aid projects - every contribution counts and helps to improve the life of people in need.
