the need for donations

is due to the fact that for some time now, in a tense situation, we have been following every day what comes next, how the situation in Ukraine develops – or not. This whole situation is exhausting, takes a toll on the substance and pushes many people to their limits. This also applies to the helpers from the association „Samuel Koch and Friends e.V.“, who sacrifice themselves to enable the victims (our severely disabled refugees from Ukraine) to have an acceptable existence.

Costs, e.g. for fuel for trips to authorities, hospitals, for excursions and a bit of free time, are borne from the association’s funds and are not reimbursed by anyone. To ensure that this bit of normality continues to be possible, I ask for support in the form of a donation, just as I donate.
