Not all children are allowed home on Christmas Eve.
But the kids at the Queen Silvia Children’s Hospital in Gothenburg managed to meet Santa anyway.
– In principle, everyone wanted to participate, says Pontus Fernblum after his children’s group.
Pontus Wernbloom has to cancel his appearance as Santa Claus due to a cold, but a helicopter still lands on the roof of Children’s Hospital on Christmas Eve.
There, Santa Claus went out and gave Christmas gifts to children who were forced to spend their days in the hospital.
Anyway, the kids were very happy. I was getting reports from there all the time. It was very successful for the kids who were forced to be there over Christmas. And about their siblings and families, says Pontus Fernblum.
Coins for packages and decorations
The former national team player speaks more about the joy the group gathered Foundation fundraiser for Queen Silvia Children’s Hospital He went as he pleased.
– In principle, everyone wanted to participate. That’s what I’m going to take with me into next year and then we’ll have more time to do it well.
The money goes to Christmas decorations and applause, and then the large surplus goes to hospital operations.
– It was amazing, very educational for me personally and above all beneficial for the children and their families who were forced to spend Christmas there, Wernbloom says.
“so all”
Individuals donated around 150,000 crowns to Pontus Wernblom’s group, and he says there is “much more” than companies.
Wernbloom praises the foundation’s fundraising function.
– I only used my pages to get an offer, which is important to them. But at least we have it covered for now and since I have large rigs I have been able to use them.
How much responsibility do you have to do something like this when you have such a big platform?
Actually, nothing at all. It is up to each of them. I feel myself like I’ve never done anything before where I used it for good things.
