Description

The Renate Selbach Foundation continuously supports individuals in need in North Rhine-Westphalia, especially in the Lemgo area, with straightforward individual assistance. The target groups are children, adolescents, families, and adults who have fallen into financial distress due to physical, mental, or emotional impairments or economic hardship. The foundation provides direct grants for travel expenses (e.g., doctor visits, rehabilitation), therapy and accompanying measures, household and care costs, as well as medication. Additionally, purchases of everyday items and toys are supported to sustainably ease the daily lives of the beneficiaries. A key factor is the urgency of the emergency situation and the prompt review by the voluntary advisory board, which consists of companions of Renate Selbach and makes swift decisions on all applications.

To qualify for funding, residence in Lemgo or the surrounding district is required, along with proof of need, for example through medical certificates or official notices. The process involves submitting a completed application form along with cost estimates or invoices. Applications can be submitted at any time, as there are no deadlines. The support aims to provide rapid relief in acute emergencies and to strengthen social cohesion. In doing so, the Renate Selbach Foundation continues the commitment of its namesake and offers affected individuals in the region valuable assistance for self-help.
