Flood relief Ahrtal RLP & NRW

The children wish for a little place to dream...

We are in contact with over 1000 children and their parents throughout the flood area through our activities. The main wish of the children we meet is always the same: "I want to play with my friends in a nice place and also celebrate my birthday."

The "ZuvAHRsicht" supply island in Bad Neuenahr - Ahrweiler is already an established supply island that is within walking distance. The school bus also runs directly in front of it, making it accessible to everyone.

Families and especially children are often there to treat themselves to toys, winter clothes and a slice of cake with their parents in peace and quiet.

We are always being asked whether we have a way of creating a place for the children to dream that gives the traumatised children some support and is also used for psychological help.

Here is our children's (T)room - MAL Circus

In our special children's (T)room - circus wagon, children can express their feelings and thoughts creatively in small groups.

Children in particular benefit from art education, as they find it particularly difficult to talk about feelings and events. With the help of specialised staff, we can help children and young people to work through their experiences and give children's souls "wings" again.

Group and individual therapies are offered and are available to all children and young people free of charge.

Would you like to support this Kinder(T)Raum? We look forward to your support:

Intended use: "HOCHWASSER"

Animal-assisted therapy helps the children to strengthen their resilience and to share their experiences.
There is already an experienced and trained team here in Bad Neuenahr Ahrweiler, which we would like to support with your help. This opportunity should also exist for ALL children in the long term and, above all, be supported in the long term so that children's hearts shine again and their souls heal.

Warm living room

We received another emergency on Saturday morning. A young lady reported that her 84-year-old mother lives in Swisttal and her heating was broken due to the flood. She herself lives 500 kilometres away and is therefore unable to help promptly.... During her holiday, she had already emptied the cellar and made all the preparations for the tradesmen. However, the appointment kept getting postponed. And now it's getting cold. Naturally, we took on this case immediately. Angels Kevin and Meikel, who live in Erftstadt, got into the car IMMEDIATELY and got another gas heater. Together with Alina, they then travelled to Swisttal. The lovely lady welcomed them with so much warmth and friendliness - it was twice as much fun to set up the gas heater. Thank you, people of the heart

Would you like to be a horse*angel?

You can donate 1m² of home to the horses so that they can return to their homes and have safe and dry hooves. You can donate 1m² of home directly here and be an angel for the horses.

Why aren't the horses home yet?

Everything has been swept away, including the ground reinforcement. To prevent the horses from sinking into the ground, a special ground reinforcement is needed that can withstand rain.

This is very important so that the horses have "dry hooves" and no longer come into contact with the contaminated soil. Otherwise this can lead to serious illnesses.

For this to be possible, a floor structure is required:

• Ridcon plates RG30
• Lava sand
• Sand

Would you like to provide 1m² of home for the horses?

The costs for the reconstruction are as follows:

Ridcon RG30 base plate (50 cm x 50 cm), the lava sand and the sand that is spread as a footing at the end.

What is the procedure?

With your contribution, you can ensure that the horses have a home again. You have 4 options:

• transfer via paypal (reason for payment "Pferde*Engel"): info@fortuna-hilft.de (we buy it in your name)
• by bank transfer (Fortuna hilft e.V, IBAN: DE33 5776 1591 1733 5675 00, BIC: GENODED1BNA, VR BANK RheinAhrEifel eG
  or buy it yourself and have it delivered (this is possible with a larger order volume. You are welcome to contact us on 0163 289 1888)

An angel (Annabelle) called us and came with the wonderful opportunity for helpers and those affected to go on holiday to the Baltic Sea free of charge. Out of sheer joy at this generous support, we were quickly caught up in reality. Most of them cannot even afford a "free" holiday as they have no money for transport (car destroyed by the floods) or for their daily needs on site.
