- We are currently collecting urgently needed medical supplies for doctors in the most affected regions. We particularly need self-adhesive bandages, syringes, and 0.9% saline solution in small plastic bottles. Donations can be dropped off at Sandstraße 95, every Monday and Wednesday between 10:00 and 14:00. Every contribution makes a difference! Thank you very much for your support!
- Since May 2024 we have been working on a new project in cooperation with DoVira Help Foundation: adaptive clothing for hospitals! At the moment we only have an overlock and a sewing machine. We would love to expand. If you still have a little treasure that you no longer need, we would be delighted. Even if the machine has a fault, it can be considered. We are also happy to accept sewing supplies and fabric tests. Thanks to everyone, who has already donated! Till now 1270 pieces of clothing were sent to Ukraine.
