i tried to find a way to help for quite some time

and came up with a really comfortable way for you and me to do so:

i created some CHRISTMAS CARDS and you can buy them

so i can donate all the profits made by the sale to the UNO REFUGEE RELIEF

and the local institution REGENSBURG HILFT

and a friend of mine - MAGDALENA ETTL - even joined me and designed three more cards

this way you have quite the selection to choose from to spread your seasons greetings

.

to make the process more transparent, here´s how it works:

all profits are donated

which means all proceeds minus 0,23€ for each card to cover printing costs,

19% VAT and transaction fees

shipping cost are not included in the donation

also we´re not able to send you a receipt for your donation

.

i do know i took the easy route to help

without any personal involvement and without being touched by the hands on human despair

but i´ll admit right now this is the only way i can

and strangely enough it was one of the most frustrating projects to work on

nothing turned out he way it should

help did come from sides i didn´t expect it to come from

so thank you:
E for getting me to do so and being the hardest critic

Magdalena for joining me in the last minute and bearing some hard decisions with me

all my friends who helped out with advice

and took scary ELEVATOR RIDES with me on the hunt for a motive that never made the cut

.

let us keep our hearts and doors open and not waver in our love for each other
and let´s cut down that f... Nato wire!
MACHT HOCH DIE TÜR, DIE TOR MACHT WEIT!

post scriptum:
by now i´m not so sure anymore
if it was a really good idea to have used those christian/religious songs and the bethlehem star as a symbol for a warm welcome
since it seems that since the dawn of time all that pain has always been caused by reasons of various believes clashing
which really makes me sick
thinking the only things that matter are humanity and kindness and freedom of the mind
and Christmas time shouldn´t be the only excuse to live by these principals
it is a year round and forever and always thing
but to me those words and symbols stand for love
another thing that really matters
