Christmas miracle in Paderborn: Donation record breaks all expectations!

Christmas time brings a miracle in Paderborn: The fundraising campaign of WDR 2 and Action Germany helps has achieved a new record this year. On the morning of the last day of action, shortly after 8 a.m., the impressive sum of over 8.3 million euros was reached. This number exceeds the entire donation of the previous year and shows the incredible cohesion in the region. Particularly noteworthy is the generous individual donation of 25,000 euros from Inge S. from Bad Sassendorf, which was also accompanied by further remarkable contributions, including 10,000 euros by Ursula A. and 7,500 euros from Pulheim. These spacious donations come not only from Paderborn, but also from cities such as Cologne, Münster and even Hamburg, which makes it clear to the remarkable commitment of the people in the West, as wdr.de reported.

a sign of hope

During the five -day action, which was under the motto "Together against hunger in the world", the listeners were able to have a say in the broadcaster's music program and thus not only showed their cultural preferences, but also their heart for people in need. "We are overwhelmed by the great willingness to help we felt here in Paderborn," said Sabine Heinrich. Her colleague Steffi added that the moving moments and the conversations with our listeners across the country touched her deeply. WDR director Tom Buhrow, on the other hand, praised the enormous commitment of the people in North Rhine-Westphalia and emphasized that the "WDR 2 Christmas Wonder" was a matter close to the heart that connects people and donates hope as press.wdr.de reported.
The money collected goes to over 30 aid projects worldwide, including the "Tafeln NRW", which take care of the care of people in need.
