In November, the financial situation of Rhein-Valley Hospital caused us so much concern that we turned to our many loyal benefactors. The letter and a newspaper report triggered not only consternation but also a gratifyingly great willingness to support the association financially.
On Monday, December 19, we received the news of another generous donation. A local foundation from the St.Gallen Rhine Valley has transferred the donation amount of 5000 Swiss francs to us.
10`000 Swiss francs for the Rhine-Valley Hospital. This is the gratifying result obtained at a seminar held by the REHAstudy educational center. Physiotherapists trained there on the subject of lungs and dealt with Stephan Holderegger's medical history - and donated.
The online portal rheintaler.ch wrote on Wednesday, December 14: "The local municipality of Au supports the Rhine Valley Hospital Association with 10`000 francs. The association is currently under financial pressure and hopes that the good example will be emulated." (Gert Bruderer)
The wonderful amount of 2500 Swiss francs was transferred by Edith and Hugo Lins to the Rhine-Valley Hospital. This extremely generous donation was generated by the couple from Schellenberg at the Christmas market in their home town.
On Friday, December 2, rheintaler.ch writes: "The Hospital of Hope of the Rhine Valley Hospital Association has financial problems.
Koni Holderegger reports on rheintaler.ch about his visit to the Rhein-Valley Hospital in Kenya, the hospital that his brother Stephan built together with Ruth Schäfer twelve years ago.
Life is beautiful - but not always easy. Born in 1947, Stephan Holderegger has suffered from cystic fibrosis since birth. This is a chronic, progressive disease that cannot be cured.
It is not left out that the floor in the Rhine Valley Hospital has worn out. For more than a dozen years, many, many feet have walked over it every day. Now he is like again !
The whole team around Mama Matata sends Christmas greetings from Kenya to Switzerland and the whole world. Especially at Christmas, it is important to them to say "Thank you!" for the great support from our patrons.
