Benefiting children with disabilities from spastic disorders.
KÖNIGSTADT’s economic success enables the Fred and Carla Lottberg Foundation to financially support children with disabilities from spastic disorders, not only making life easier for them, but facilitating treatment and vocational training.
The Foundation funds, for example, conversions for barrier-free apartments. This includes providing wheelchair ramps, stair and bath lifts, or elevators in apartment blocks, as well as enlarging door frames to allow wheelchair mobility. The Foundation also covers the costs of therapeutic aids and equipment such as wheelchairs, fitting wheelchair lifts for cars or buying water-beds, tricycle tandems, computers and musical instruments. Funding is also made available for therapeutic treatment.
The therapies paid for by the Foundation include riding and music lessons. The Foundation also contributes towards the costs of staying at rehab centres, for example, the clinic headed by Dr. Kosjawkin in Truskavets/Ukraine, or the Tomatis Centres in Paris and Berlin, the Petö Institute in Budapest, or the Doman-Delacato therapy centre at St. Briavals in England.
Since the Fred and Carla Lottberg Foundation was created, it has helped 1484 children with funding totalling €9,489,268.42 (last updated 2013) – without any contributions from the public coffers or donations. The main source of the Foundation’s funding comes from its share of the KÖNIGSTADT company’s profits. Financially astute – socially aware!
