Christmas campaign Häfler Help: Donations for people in need!

Katharinenstraße 16, 88045 Friedrichshafen, Deutschland - The Christmas campaign of "Häfler help" is remarkable, as the city deacon Martin Rebmann in a recent report by the Schwäbische Zeitung . So far, around 130,000 euros have been collected in donations, and the campaign will continue until the new year 2025. The funds go directly to the needy people in Friedrichshafen, who are increasingly struggling with financial difficulties, especially in the living area. "This is a huge problem - especially among people who have low incomes," explains Rebmann. High rental costs often eat more than half of the net salary of those affected.

difficult economic situation

According to Rebmann, unemployment and short -time work continue to tighten the situation. Many people experience dismissals, especially in precarious employment relationships. This hard reality meets families who often only depend on an income, for example after a death or separation. The offers of help from the Evangelical Diakonie and the Catholic City Diaconate offer support in this critical situation. "We can relieve acute emergencies with the donations for 'help' Häfler," reports the city deacon.

The City Diakonate stands by people in financial emergency situations, regardless of whether it is about debt counseling, social support or pastoral help. The employees specialize in helping those who are in an emotional or financial dilemma. "We can be guided and support from the works of mercy in applications and the overcoming of payment difficulties", as it is said in the guiding principle of the city diaconal. The open consultation takes place every Wednesday to ensure short -term help.
