In cooperation with the regional associations of Rheinland-Pfalz and North Rhine-Westphalia, as well as Lebenshilfe Ahrweiler, the Federal Association Lebenshilfe e.V. provided the proceeds from donations to affected families. Even months after the flood disaster, many families in the region were still living under extraordinary circumstances. The financial support from the Ottobock Global Foundation and the Näder family provided relief for a total of 46 families with disabled members during this challenging time. The remaining funds were also directed to affected institutions of Lebenshilfe.
