Fundraiser Initiated by Kita: A Plea to Preserve Playground Equipment
In the city of Neuss, a unique fundraising campaign is underway to preserve the playground equipment from the recently closed daycare center, "Froschkönig" located at Ueckerather Straße 14. The equipment, known for its lovingly designed, safe, and well-maintained facilities, is set to be transferred to the Am Mühlenbusch daycare center, thanks to the efforts of supporters and the Red Cross.
The fundraising campaign, launched online via www.gofundme.com (keyword "New outdoor area for our daycare"), aims to raise funds to enable the takeover of the playground equipment and contribute to early childhood development. The space, not too large for the current 83 children at Am Mühlenbusch, would provide an expansive area right in the midst of nature, offering opportunities for climbing, balancing, sliding, and playing.
Initially, Andreas Biletter, a local resident, expressed doubt about the necessity of this effort. However, after being offered to take everything over for approximately 20,000 euros, he has since come to support the takeover and preservation of the playground area. The city of Neuss has pledged to make the grounds available to the new users of the playground for a relatively low rent.
Andreas Biletter, now optimistic about raising the remaining funds in the coming days, emphasizes the significant gain for the children's development that the preservation of the playground area would represent. The Red Cross has agreed to bear the follow-up costs if the fundraising campaign succeeds in raising the necessary funds.
The DRK kindergarten plans to take over the playground equipment and the accompanying area, ensuring the continuation of a valuable resource for children's development and play. The community is encouraged to support this worthy cause by visiting the fundraising campaign's website and contributing to the preservation of the playground equipment from the closed daycare center, Froschkönig.
For those seeking more information about the fundraising campaign, it is recommended to check local community websites or social media pages in Neuss, contact local government offices or the city council, reach out to organizations or parent groups associated with the Froschkönig daycare center, or monitor platforms where fundraising campaigns are commonly hosted, such as GoFundMe or regional platforms popular in Germany.
