50,000 euros for the hospice work: Eichenlaub Foundation surprised in Landau!

The Hubert-Eichenlaub Foundation supported the valuable work of the outpatient hospice service in the South Palatinate with a generous donation of 50,000 euros in an impressive gesture. Thomas Hochfelde, the chairman of the foundation, presented this amount as a Christmas surprise in order to promote the important accompaniment of seriously ill children and their families. This was announced on the foundation's website, which has been providing the support of dying and their relatives for 25 years. The coordinator Susanne Ziegler said that such donations enable the hospice center to help much more people in difficult situations.

In the new premises of the outpatient hospice center in Landau, Weißenburgerstraße 8, the volunteers can now be trained even better. This is part of the mission to fulfill more life to fulfill the seriously ill and dying people and their relatives in their last days. The training is financed by the support of the foundation, which also enables the training and further education of the skilled workers. This is particularly important because the health insurers only take over the palliative care in the families from a specialized training.

The meaning of the donation

The donation is not only used for the training of around 89 volunteers, but also for practical help, such as grants for the transport of wheelchair users or the fulfillment of the last wishes of patients. In addition, the children's hospice service Windspiel, which is also supported by the foundation, will continue to be expanded. This service offers support for families with seriously ill or dying parents and has been set up since 2020. The commitment of the foundation benefits residents in the region by sustainably improving the services for palliative care. As stated on the website of the support association, donations and membership are crucial for the financing of these significant assistance.
