The founders & members

A very special team around Dr. Karola Simoni & Dr. Nobert Kuner takes care of the realization of the impossible: Whether Anke Grützediek as Orga talent & administrative genius (germ. Touroperator), Bianka Eigenbrodt with double heart effect, Monika Reinhartz as Fairy (Bookstore/ Service Center Costa Calma), David Sarnow as Mister Shopping (Fuerte Royal Real Estate), Dr. Norbert Kuner as financial juggler & Dr. Karola Simoni as conqueror of children's hearts (practice Dr. Karola Simoni & sons) - the rescuers in need support families and children on Fuerteventura.

The name giver

Silvia was the childhood friend of little Karola Simoni, who was also suffering from cancer at the time. A girl friendship against the disease, against unfriendly doctors and the cold world of the hospital, which was to last forever and yet ended in the end with Silvia's lost battle. We dedicate the foundation to this strong and cheerful child who faced death & fear with laughter.

Help, Donate & Support

Every day we are grateful for all the kind donations that "la Caja de la pequeña Silvia" aka "Poor Children's Fund Fuerteventura" receives! We are a small group that has to check each donation request carefully for neediness. We can only step in as a bridging aid and cannot alleviate permanent needs. Therefore it is only possible for us to support depending on the amount of donations.

Help us so that we can help

We are always surprised and grateful when people come to us and spontaneously lighten their wallet. For the team of a medical practice, the warm-hearted and positive sides of these people are a delightful gift in a daily work routine with often difficult situations. 

Help

We would like to take this opportunity to thank once again all the people who have supported not only our children's fund, but all our relief actions to date.

More about our actions

With the means we have at our disposal and will have in the future, we will try to bring a little help and a little care into the small world that surrounds us here.

Our history

"LA Caja de la pequena Silvia" in difficult times

With the help of committed friends, we have initiated the official establishment of a foundation and since June 2020 the "Poor Children's Fund Fuerteventura" has been registered as an official "empresa sin lucro" under the name "la caja de la pequena Silvia". Above all, the situation is still one of the structurally weakest regions in Spain and the difficult times are a challenge for our donation fund for local help on Fuerteventura, Canary Islands. 

Beginnings of the "Poor Children's Fund Fuerteventura"

The story of the "Poor Children's Fund Fuerteventura" begins more than 15 years ago with a simple cardboard box on our desk. Our "tip box" at that time was nothing more than a symbolic gesture for the poorer patients in our practice. With the small amounts collected over the months, we funded small gifts to the children of single mothers. Here an entrance to the zoo, there a pair of soccer shoes or another mini-pleasures just to cheer up the children and make them happy for a moment.

A cardboard box grows up

Our cardboard box has now reached adulthood. With the help of committed friends, we have initiated the official establishment of a foundation and since June 2020, the "Poor Children's Fund Fuerteventura" is registered as an official "empresa sin lucro" under the name "la caja de la pequeña Silvia". This name, like so many things about this fundraiser, has a personal background. Silvia was the childhood friend of little Karola Simoni, who was also suffering from cancer at the time. A girl friendship against the disease and against unfriendly doctors and the cold world of the hospital was supposed to last forever, but finally ended with Silvia's lost fight. We dedicate the foundation to this strong and cheerful child who faced death and fear with laughter.

We are glad about your help

Our actions

'La Caja de la pequeña Silvia' is currently working at full speed! We receive donations from you almost every day and so far our Anke Gruetzediek has been on the phone to the elementary school, for example, to find out about their desperate situation or to families who have contacted us because they were no longer able to go shopping due to the circumstances surrounding Covid19 and lacked the most basic necessities. Since this summer, the families are finally doing better and we can concentrate on poor children again. We are very pleased that there are only a few families left who are in an absolute emergency situation.

So we can focus again with the donated material donations, such as books, pencils etc. on those children, e.g. in the Costa Calma school, who lack the material. Who knows if there is not a future scientist among the pupils, or an environmental engineer who is developing a groundbreaking new energy concept? Or a nurse who will help many people?

After we had to go shopping with families until the summer of 2021 and, thanks to you and paid directly with your donations, filled their empty fridges again for the first time and provided them with the most important things, we can now tackle the basic needs and wishes of poor children. For this purpose, we organise supervised shopping trips or distribute donations in kind. Your donations go directly to the most needy and above all to poor children. Now it is up to us to help. Piece by piece.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank once again all the people who have supported not only our children's fund, but all our relief actions to date. We like being where we are and doing what we can and have learned.

Thank you so much!!!

YOU GIVE HAPPINESS!
