Christmas Joy of Giving: Doing Good Together

 

In the festive season of the year, when giving takes on special significance, we have once again chosen to make a sustainable contribution. Instead of traditional gifts, we have decided to donate during the Christmas season, bringing warmth and assistance to where it is urgently needed.

We have supported a total of four organizations in Mannheim and Isny with a monetary donation. These charitable institutions are dedicated to various causes.

Salomons Weg e.V. Isny
The Association for Star Child Families

The heart of Salomons Weg e.V. is the group that regularly meets for exchange. Here, parents of star children are offered a protected space where they can openly connect and share their experiences. The vision of the association was initiated by Anette and Thomas Steybe, who are not only proud parents of an earthly child but also carry three star children in their hearts. Their empathetic understanding and personal connection shape the atmosphere of the association. Salomons Weg e.V. is more than an organization – here, families find comfort, understanding, and the certainty that they are not alone through shared stories and mutual support.

Stiftung Valentina Wangen
Strength for Little Heroes

Valentina was a brave, cheerful, and impressive girl who lost her battle against a very aggressive bone tumor. The foundation was established by her parents and siblings after her death to help the lives of other seriously and terminally ill children, as well as their families. The foundation's vision is to help seriously ill children achieve the highest possible quality of life until the end. The goal is to finance an outpatient and inpatient pediatric palliative care service in the southern German region in collaboration with the University Hospital Ulm.
