Parallel to the business activities, we run an “Emergency-Help” fund financed by donations.
With this earmarked money, we support embroiderers who, for different reasons, are no longer able to stitch—if they are widows, with €20 per month. In the case of severe illness affecting their children, we also provide financial assistance. Over the past years, we have set aside a significant amount to carry out « winter emergency support » for very fragile families. Since we had to reduce our travel schedule from 4 to 3 trips per year, we have been able to cover this shortfall for the embroiderers in recent years by providing a « year-end bonus ».
Any amount, no matter how high, is welcome.
If you would like to claim the donation for tax purposes with the tax office, we recommend making a separate transfer using the reference “Donation SNH”. Unfortunately, tax offices do not recognize the donation except in Germany. For donations up to the amount of €300, the proof of payment or the bank’s booking confirmation is sufficient. Upon request, we will issue a donation receipt for donations from €50. Thank you very much!
