The night of July 14th to 15th brought - at least in North Rhine-Westphalia - the worst natural disaster of the post-war period. Almost 180 people have lost their lives, there are numerous missing people and entire areas are devastated. For almost a month, over 5.000 helpers consisting of THW, fire brigade, rescue services, the German armed forces and many volunteers have been on duty to give new hope to the people who have lost everything. Schools, kindergartens, medical practices and pharmacies are only part of the destroyed infrastructure. The damage in Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia alone is estimated at around 30 billion. We are pleased that we were able to contribute a tiny part with the auction of the ET3 and that so many bids have been received to come to € 7.351.
Thanks also to Reiner, who was busy bidding and picking up his new ET3 on Tuesday! Further donation options to help:
Nordrhein-Westfalen
Under the slogan "North Rhine-Westphalia stands together", the "NRW helps" campaign was formed, in which the major aid organizations in the state come together to form a donation alliance. A joint donation account was set up to bring together the enormous willingness to donate in North Rhine-Westphalia at a central point.
