The Red Cross Christmas Tree Let´s unite against dependency and isolation Ladies and Gentlemen, For the coming Christmas season the Luxembourg Red Cross would like to act through its annual "The Red Cross Christmas Tree" campaign and draw attention to the problem of dependency and isolation of many people in the Grand Duchy. Growing numbers of people, most of them elderly, live alone without any social contact and often without any connection to the outside world. Contrary to popular belief, the dependency and isolation may also be a consequence of an accident, illness or disability. The Luxembourg Red Cross is helping these people through its services and initiatives supported by the valuable assistance of volunteers. Recently the Social Solidarity Fund has been established by the Aid and Care Service of the Red Cross. Its aim, among many others, is to mobilize financial resources for various aid and care services that are not reimbursed by social insurance. The Luxembourg Red Cross would not be able to carry out its actions for the most vulnerable people without public donations. In view of the coming holidays, we appeal to you to support us either by making a donation in favour of our projects or by participating in the Red Cross Bazaar, held on November 14. Thank you in advance for your valuable help and selfless gesture! Michel Simonis Director of Aid and Care Service

To support people living in isolation you can transfer funds directly to the account CCPL LU52 1111 0000 1111 0000 or make a donation by using a credit card at www.croix-rouge.lu (in the section “Appel du dons”). Donations to the Red Cross from 120 € per year and up to 20% of net income are tax deductible.
