You can find out here how we try to make a small contribution to the people affected by the war.
We also list all the manufacturers whose products we are no longer able to get.
Images of the terrible events in Ukraine have also reached us and we are deeply shocked by them. From colleagues who still have family in the Ukraine and our local business partners, the reports are a whole lot more and close and sensible.
After an initial feeling of helplessness, it was clear to us that doing nothing was not an option for us. That is why we decided to provide the brave and tireless helpers who are already on site with financial support and provided an amount of 5,000.00 Euros.
This donation goes equally to:
Deutsches Rotes Kreuz e.V. (German Red Cross)
&
Ärzte ohne Grenzen e. V. (The german version from Médecins Sans Frontières or Doctors Without Borders.)
You only have to watch the news for two minutes at the moment to realize that the amount of 5,000 euros can only be symbolic. You can find out how you can contribute yourself here:
These are just two examples of organizations that are currently engaged in this crisis. Of course you can also support one of the many other institutions.
Every help helps to alleviate the suffering of the people!
For example, if you can offer accommodation, you can enter it here:
unterkunft-ukraine.de
(This website is only for Germany. Surely there is something similar in other countries. )
There are currently different opinions on donations in kind. The best way to find out more is to contact an aid organization in your area. As a company from a completely different industry, we are not the best reference.
Representatively we would like to thank you for every donation!
The war in the Ukraine also has consequences for us in Germany as a reseller and/or model maker, even if these are hardly worth mentioning in view of the situation for the people affected on site.
We no longer accept pre-orders for the following 21 manufacturers and only products that we can deliver directly can still be ordered.
A large proportion of the affected manufacturers come from the Ukraine and are struggling to survive there.
A smaller proportion comes from Russia or Belarus and can no longer be ordered from the importer due to sanctions, discontinued transport connections or product range adjustments.
