How Small Donations From Employees Bring Hope to Grieving Families
A small but meaningful initiative is making a difference through collective generosity. Employees at Caritas Moers-Xanten donate spare change from their monthly wages to support a chosen cause. This year, their contributions will go to the Dein Sternenkind Foundation, an organisation close to the heart of one of their own colleagues.
The Dein Sternenkind Foundation helps families who experience the loss of a child before, during, or shortly after birth. Operating across Germany, Austria, German-speaking Switzerland, and South Tyrol, it offers free keepsake photographs—often the only lasting memories parents have of their child. The foundation also provides round-the-clock emotional support during these difficult times.
Rainer Moll, an employee at Caritas Moers-Xanten, volunteers his photography skills for *Dein Sternenkind*. His sensitive work brings comfort to grieving families, capturing precious moments with care and empathy. Each year, the pooled donations from staff are given to a selected organisation, and this time, Moll's involvement adds personal significance to the choice. The idea is simple: small individual contributions add up to create a larger impact. Employees can even suggest causes they believe in, ensuring the funds go where they matter most.
The donation will help Dein Sternenkind continue its vital work, offering solace and support to families in their darkest hours. While the exact number of families assisted remains unrecorded, the foundation's reach spans multiple regions, providing both practical and emotional aid. For the employees at Caritas Moers-Xanten, this year's gift carries extra meaning—honouring a colleague's dedication to a cause that touches so many lives.
