The chairman of Neriuffiit Kattuffiat, Inger Eriksen, says that the money from the evening’s collection will be used next year, and that the board must now decide what it will be used for.
Friday night was there land collection for Neriuffiit Kattuffiat in Katuaq in Nuuk.
A total of DKK 5,818,630 was collected, which is a new record. This corresponds to 102 kroner per citizen in Greenland.
Inger Eriksen, who is chairman of Neriuffiit Kattuffiat, was clearly affected when she spoke to KNR in tonight’s broadcast.
– I want to cry tears of joy, she says and explains that they have worked very hard.
She says that money must be used from January to December, and that they must now meet in the board and decide what the money will be used for.
She also says that the new counseling center in Nuuk has been of great importance to the association.
– We have a house this year. We can all gather because of that house because there has been land collection. And since it has been opened, there have been so many people who have been in there, and it has been well received.
– And it brings so much happiness that we work there, because you know how much it is needed, and you can help, says Inger Eriksen and thanks everyone who has contributed.
Neriuffiit Kattuffiat’s new house is Greenland’s first counseling house for cancer patients and opened in October this year.
In the house, people affected by cancer can get free advice and knowledge and meet others who are in a similar situation.
The ambition is that the help should be able to reach the whole of Greenland, among other things through digital advice offers.
