On Vestergade in Nykøbing Mors, denmark is a very special tree outside the store Nif-Nif.
It is a ønsketræ, where the children of poor families have the opportunity to wish a gift to a maximum of 200 million, which a friendly stranger so can buy and consign in-store.
In the year hangs there, however, for now no wish on the tree.
Premium Shield is going to have to shut down for the scheme in years, because it has been abused by families who do not have the same need to get help to gavekøb.
– to ensure me, that it hit the people who are needy, had I chosen, that the bills was only kirkekontoret, so it was only those who sought julehjælp, who had access to them.
– So is there any who has got a piece of paper and copied it in very many copies, which they have put on the local school, so all had access to the notes, says Mie Shield for the Extra Magazine.
Because the notes were shared on the school, they have received a lot of wish lists from families who don’t really need the help.
It assesses the Premium Shield, since she is the only one that can see where the concerns come from.
– I can’t be the judge, but there will be some requests from the residential neighborhoods in the city, which normally would not be needy. So when we’re talking expensive villas, she says.
the Whole process makes Mie Shield upset when she just want to be allowed to help some families that need it.
I am deeply frustrated. And then I’m most of all just upset by it on behalf of the families, which penetrates to the here christmas.
The children, who now stands without a christmas gift, they are the ones I pity, ” she says.
Last year there were 35 children given a christmas gift by means of ønsketræet. In the years Mie Shield received well over 100 notes with want, and many of them are not from families who need the help, she appears.
Therefore, she has now closed it temporarily down while she is working on a solution.
Mie Shield on Monday morning made an agreement with the local dean of a collaboration, which, hopefully, should make it possible to fulfill the wants of the families, who actually are needy.
They must find those who have the desire and got julehjælp from the church. These families also get the opportunity to make a wish to the tree at the Nif-Nif.
the Plan was, according to the Mie Shield, however, that she had not thought out a scheme in the year. Many had offered to help, but it all had been too confusing.
I just got an offer of a gut from the island of Funen, which would take a train and come up to help sort. It is all very gracious and nice offered, but I just think that there are too many issues with it now, she said Monday morning.
Fortunately she found a solution with the passed, so now can they work together to make sure that the right children once again have the joy of the initiative.
Mie Shield expects that the initiative will continue next year, in spite of the resistance she has met in years.
– It is my greatest desire to get it up and running again, so we ensure that here children can get a gift, she says.
