Many events, like Messina, are canceled, how are you going to hold it financially?
“We were to carry out a major operation during containment week, a sale of Primroses as part of cancer week. A loss of € 60,000. In 2019, we had raised € 1.15 million. A Rose A Hope had brought in 900,000 €, Messina 105,000 €. If the biker operation, scheduled for late September, does not happen, we will have no resources. At the same time, donations and subscriptions from members represent nearly € 800,000. But this year, they will be less because the Covid captures a lot of effort. Bikers need to know that they are counting on them. “
A fiscal year that risks being in deficit?
“If operation a rose a hope remains, we will not be in deficit. If it does not take place, we will have to take on our reserves. The Moselle league is not in danger, unlike others, a good twenty in France, which we will have to help to prevent them from disappearing. We have not experienced an identical situation since the Second World War. “
Are you going to reduce your actions?
“We will not change anything with regard to patient aid and prevention actions. However, we will reduce our participation in research. “
You make a financial commitment to hospitals for the purchase of new equipment. Will these commitments also cease?
“We fulfill the commitments made. We are providing € 120,000 for the purchase of a pet scan for Sarreguemines hospital, € 50,000 to continue consultations at the Pierre-Janet center. We also have two commitments with CHR Metz-Thionville, one for an application on the toxicity of chemotherapy, the other for a bronchoscope for Bel-Air. “
