Christmas magic in the hospital: 121 gifts for children with cancer!

In a heartwarming campaign, Jeannine Rauch-Kilic and her husband Serok Kilic have once again collected an impressive amount of gifts for children with cancer in the children's and youth clinic of the University Hospital Erlangen. On December 20, 2024, they presented a total of 121 Christmas parcels worth around 6,600 euros on time for Christmas. Since 2014, the Adelsdorf couple has fulfilled the individual wishes of young patients who have to spend the Christmas season in the hospital. "Each of these moments of happiness is important," said Prof. Dr. Markus Metzler, the head of children's oncology, during the handover, which was accompanied by atmospheric music of the Erlangen songwriter duos Wulli and Sonja, such as nn.de reported.

a year full of preparations

Jeannine and Serok Kilic invest a lot of time and effort in the organization of this heartwarming gift action in every Advent. With the help of donations from their family and friends as well as committed companies such as the car dealership Kraus, which not only provided a van, but also financed vouchers, the two were able to fulfill numerous wishes. "Often there are also surprise donations that help us make the children happy," said Jeannine Kilic. The donation of a six -year -old neighboring daughter who sacrificed her own piggy bank for the sick children was particularly touching

With a variety of lovingly packaged gifts that are even kept for the children in "bravery boxes", the little patients were given the opportunity to express their individual wishes in the form of colorful Christmas decoration. When handing over, the radiant faces of the children pour the hearts of everyone present and confirm the importance of this great tradition, which is now taking place in the tenth year. "We continue," assured Jeannine Kilic, while the children admired the gift mountain, which once again underlined the importance of community and helpfulness in difficult times, such as uk-erlangen.de reported.
