Nicolaidis YoungWings Foundation
The death of a loved one at a young age is a traumatic event with far-reaching consequences for the entire life situation. For over 25 years, the Nicolaidis YoungWings Foundation has been supporting children, young people, and adults who have suffered a severe blow of fate—the death of a parent or the loss of a life partner.
The foundation, located in Munich, Germany, offers comprehensive assistance and provides versatile, long-term support nationwide. With services such as bereavement groups, individual counseling, social counseling, educational scholarships for half-orphans and full orphans, creative projects, excursions, information evenings, and much more, it supports families through their grief in a way that is tailored to their needs. The latives, friends, teachers, or colleagues can also contact the foundation to find out how they can best support those affected. Since March 2024, all services have been available under one roof at Sternenhaus, the foundation's new home.
Professional soccer player and foundation ambassador Thomas Müller has been supporting the foundation for over 10 years and regularly organizes the “Nicolaidis YoungWings Christmas Auction powered by Thomas & friends” shortly before Christmas.
