If you visited the Helenenhof last year, then there’s a good chance you’ve already at least met Luisa. And if you know her at all, then you probably understand what a enrichment she is for the Helenenhof.
We spent the whole of last season working with, and indeed sharing our (not so expansive) living space with Luisa, and if you read our open letter from March, you already know that her presence was a bright spot in what was, in many ways, a pretty heavy year on the Helenenhof.
So, of course, we were absolutely delighted when Luisa informed us that she would be remaining with us for this season!
Last year, we reached out to all of you to help support Luisa financially, by opening a god-parent program, in which individuals, couples, families, associations or any group of people each sponsored her with a month’s finances.
And it was a huge success! So much so, that we had a waiting list for this season! (Which is why we could be lazy enough to have not updated this page until now.) But as of now, the program is officially reopened for the 2025 season.
Just like last year, the Helenenhof provides Luisa with the roof and walls that keep her dry and warm, and with the nourishment for sustaining her physical strength. And it goes without saying that, also just like before, in order to function within this society, we all require financial resources. Last year, we set the god-parenthood contribution at 500€ per month.
However, one thing that has changed since last year is that Luisa has turned 23, meaning she can no longer be covered by her parents’ medical insurance. Because she now carries this additional financial responsibility, we’ve decided to leave the contribution more open-ended this year.
So while the god-parenthood contribution is still 500€, god-parents are welcome to give more, according to desire and ability. And moreover, anyone who would like to contribute additional finances will be included in the list below (anonymity is also allowed).
As you can see below, the months of March, April, May and June are already spoken for. We are currently only accepting god-parents through the month of October, because it is unclear whether Luisa will be staying longer than that. So, that only leaves 4 open months, at least for now. Should she decide to stay longer, we will open up additional months for god-parenthood.
Below is the current status of the godparent program. If you’d like to join in, either by becoming a god-parent for a month, or by adding to the supplementary contributions, let us know by sending us an e-mail:
