St. Michael's Church facelift underway with half a million in donations! 🚀
In a whirlwind of generosity, Hamburg's St. Michael's Church has garnered nearly half a million euros for their urgent roof and tower cornice renovation, thanks to an impassioned community appeal. The church proudly unveiled this progression on Monday, sharing that major damage has been addressed, reinforcing critical areas, and sealing cracks to prevent water infiltration.
Exciting times are ahead as the second phase, set to stretch over six months, is scheduled to commence in spring 2024. These funds have flooded in from more than 500 benefactors, including substantial pledges from prominent Hamburg families and local businesses.
The St. Michaelis Foundation remains optimistic that the holiday season will deliver an additional boost of around 130,000 euros, leaving only a modest 7000 working hours to secure through crowdfunding initiatives. With a simple donation at , you can symbolically contribute to the restoration effort by sponsoring a work shift – for 35 euros, you can pledge half an hour, or offer your ongoing support for the duration of the project.
St. Michaelis's renovations continue, with the notable donations supplementing the local support that has covered half the estimated cost. The foundation's social circle is actively inspiring further contributions by promising to match private donations up to 50,000 euros under the Hamburg Monument Preservation Foundation's initiative.
While the specific figures and details for this particular restoration project remain elusive, contacting the St. Michaelis Foundation directly or visiting their website would provide the most current and comprehensive information surrounding their fundraising goals and donation opportunities.
