Regional commitment

€7,000 donated to help people with serious illnesses and disabilities

Wildeboer donates to charitable organisations

Wildeboer Bauteile GmbH has brought pre-Christmas cheer to representatives of seven East Frisian charities and institutions by donating a total of €7,000. The recipients of the donations are the Parents' Association for Children with Cancer and their Families in East Frisia and the Surrounding Area, Herzkinder Ostfriesland, the Hospice Initiative in Leer, the Child Protection Association (district and local association in Leer), the Learning and Support Centre on the Deich and the Leukin and wünschdirwas associations.

Unfortunately, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the donations had to be handed over in person, but this did not dampen the joy of the representatives of the organisations receiving the donations. They all expressed their gratitude for the support and recognition of their largely voluntary work and, in a telephone conversation, impressively demonstrated the important contribution they make to society by offering help to people in need, especially now in the current situation. Wildeboer Bauteile GmbH would like to honour this commitment and thank all the volunteers who are currently working under often difficult conditions.

Below is some detailed information about the organisations and links to their websites:

sternsnuup e.V.

The "Steernsnupp" association has made it its mission to fulfil the wishes of seriously ill people one last time. With "Steernsnupp", families and relatives of many terminally ill people now have the opportunity to travel with their loved ones once again to a place they long for. Be it a trip to the seaside or to a place from the patient's childhood. The team steps in when relatives no longer know what to do, when someone can only be transported lying down or needs medical care, but also when relatives no longer have the confidence to take such a trip alone.
