Beuron's warm helper Jürgen Matheis: A loss for everyone!
The community of Beuron carries a heavy burden: The death of Jürgen Matheis, a respected ceramics manufacturer and committed member of the “Help from House to House” association, has left a big void. Matheis passed away on March 23, and his loss is not only emotional, but also organizational, as he took initiative beyond his official duties on many occasions. The association, which has been active for 20 years, offers important support for older citizens who need help, for example with doctor's visits or simple walks, where official institutions are often unable to provide sufficient help Schwäbische.de reported.
The municipal administration is now faced with the challenge of finding a successor for Matheis. So far, finding a new contact person has been difficult. Mayor Hans-Peter Wolf has asked the local councilors to look for well-known and popular citizens who would be willing to volunteer. The community is currently taking the coordination of operations into its own hands, but this takes significantly more time.
An integral part of the community
The Help from House to House organization is an important pillar of support for old and sick people in Beuron and the surrounding area. The association was founded in 2005 by various political communities and church institutions and is now active in several communities, including Bärenthal, Buchheim and Leibertingen. The aim of the association is clear: to organize help in emergencies where official bodies are not sufficient. The offers also include accompaniment to doctor's visits and running errands, as can be seen on the official website hilfe-von-haus-zu-haus.de can read.
The club's chairwoman, Claudette Kölzow, remains loyal to the club and has announced that she will continue to volunteer, even if she will not run for mayor in Buchheim again. However, the support of volunteers remains very important for the association. The current structures are also well set up, but we are still looking for volunteers.
Volunteering as the backbone of neighborhood help
The importance of neighborhood help is undisputed. Volunteers play a central role by providing support in everyday life. This ranges from household chores to board games to accompaniment on official visits. In many cities and municipalities there are organizations that offer similar services to enable older people in particular to live a self-determined life in their familiar surroundings active-rentner.de pointed out.
With a low membership fee of just 12 euros for individuals and 18 euros for families, membership in the association is easily accessible for many. This not only promotes the association's financial basis, but also the involvement of the population in important social tasks. Donations are also very welcome to continue and expand the important work.
Neighborhood assistance is a true treasure for the community - and now it is time to leverage this treasure and recruit new volunteers. A breath of fresh air and new faces are needed to close the gaps left by the tragic circumstances. Beuron is enthusiastic about the idea that everyone can help, whether young or old, as part of a community of solidarity!
