As part of our first #hetaid donation campaign, we are delighted to be able to support the “Hand-in-Hand für schwerstkranke und krebskranke Kinder e.V.” association in Altenstadt. After an internal vote, our employees decided to support this dedicated association with a donation and to get to know the valuable work they do on site.
The selection of the supported project
Our fundraising campaign began with an appeal to all HET Filter employees to submit suggestions for charitable projects. The suggestions submitted were then put to an internal vote. The majority opted for the “Hand-in-Hand für schwerstkranke und krebskranke Kinder e.V.” association, which has been providing outstanding support for families with seriously ill and cancer-stricken children since 2008.
The “Hand-in-Hand” association: support for families in difficult times
The “Hand-in-Hand” association was founded on January 27, 2008 and has been committed to supporting families with seriously ill and cancer-stricken children and young people ever since. Originally founded as “Hand-in-Hand für krebskranke Kinder Altenstadt e.V.”, the association expanded its commitment in 2014 and has since been supporting all seriously ill children up to the age of 28.
The association not only provides financial support, but also offers the affected families practical help based on its own experience, for example when dealing with the authorities. The association’s work extends beyond Altenstadt and also includes cooperation with other organizations such as LaLeLu e.V., Bärenherz Wiesbaden e.V. and the Psychosocial Service of Frankfurt University Hospital.
Our support: On site in Altenstadt
To get a better picture of the association’s impressive work, we met in person in Altenstadt. There we were able to see how the association helps in various life situations – whether by converting bathrooms, enabling therapies and treatments or building ramps for wheelchairs.
But also help
Our donation is intended to support this valuable work.
Doing good together: Further support is welcome
The “Hand-in-Hand” association relies on the support of people who would like to help families in need. Be it through monetary or material donations or by volunteering at events – any kind of support is very welcome.
We are proud to have taken this first step with our fundraising campaign and look forward to continuing to be part of such important initiatives.

Together we can make a difference – hand in hand for seriously ill children and children with cancer!
