Everyone can be an ANGEL ...

in #christmas7 years ago

Hello World,

Today I would like to introduce you to a German association that has made it its mission to help the homeless, in this case homeless people in the city of Frankfurt.

EVERYONE CAN BE AN ANGEL!!!

Purpose of the association "Streetangel e.V." It is through public initiatives and practical and financial support that people with little or no income, especially homeless people, can be helped.
Tasks of the association "Streetangel e.V." are especially:
Supporting the homeless and supporting facilities for the homeless, mainly through donations in kind but also through financial donations.

  • Education about the conditions of the homeless in Germany and the facilities for homeless people in Germany
  • homeless feeding
  • Dress collection for the homeless
  • Assistance to prevent homelessness
  • Emergency aid in disaster areas of other countries worldwide in the form of - clothing and material donations

Angel from the shoebox

December 2017 - There is a gift for the homeless between the bank towers of Frankfurt at Christmas. This is ensured by the street angels.

December is a cold month. In some streets in Frankfurt am Main very special. When the bank towers force the wind into the roadside, a cold breeze pulls even through thick jackets, goes into sleeping bags, lets the skin and lips crack within a few hours.

And yet, December is not just a bad month for the homeless. "It's an ambivalent time," says Sabi Uskhi, "In no other time is the homeless given as much money as during the Christmas season. At the same time, they realize that they have no family. "

Simple is good

Sabi Uskhi takes care of the homeless. About four years ago he founded the aid organization Streetangel Frankfurt e.V. Actually, in almost every free minute he is out on the street trying to help. At Christmas, however, it is a very special affair of the heart to him. He senses that this dichotomy can also be dangerous. For example, when the full money cup seduces you to fill the void with an extra portion of alcohol or drugs. That's also why he launched the campaign "Christmas in a shoebox".

It works like this: If you join in, pack a shoebox with presents, add a little card and hand it over to him and Sabi organizes a Christmas gift with his club angels.

The channels used by Streetangel's gift boxes have long since become independent: the retired couple, the socially committed family and, again and again, entire school classes are taking part in the campaign. Sabi: "It's simple things that make the homeless happy: a scarf, disinfectant, soap, gloves, a cap, chocolate."

Learning effect included
Many go to great lengths, wrap up the boxes with care, write colorful cards or, as a little girl did, put a guardian angel in the box - combined with the wish that this should accompany the recipient from now on. And so street angels with "Christmas in a Shoebox" also see donors grapple with those who otherwise disappear into parks, house entrances or subway shafts. And when people in the street are looking forward to things that are just there in the home, it grounds so many expensive wishlist.

Presentation on the roadside

The street angels know the places where homeless people are. At Christmas, they make their rounds, sit next to them and take their time for a little gift: "This is an emotional moment," says Sabi. For many homeless, counting not only the gift, but also the feeling that someone has thought of them somewhere. "There's a tear rolling down your cheek."

These are the situations that are also a little nudge for the street angels: "If someone who has nothing to laugh at smiles - that's just beautiful," says Sabi.

I gave my wife my bank card a few days ago. The pile of presents in your photos looks similar to what she went out and bought for our daughter.

Homelessness is a complex problem and people on the streets deserve all the help we can give them. Great initiative!

Sometimes it needs only ONE Person to FOLLOW....

Yes, it does and I'm glad to share!

This is awesome. I believe that we have to help each other with the things that we can afford rather than blaming it on government or god. 😁

it isnt our POLITICS... the Problem is the MARKET ECONOMY... they fu**ed our Democracy

And thus it came back full circle. :D
