The images of Ukrainian children fleeing war move everyone. Matthias Distel, known as “Ikke Hipgold”, wants to help and sets out for the Polish-Ukrainian border.
Ikke Hipgold (45), party hit singer and music producer, wants to bring hundreds of Ukrainian refugees to Germany and place them in safe custody.
“After the Russian attack on a nuclear power plant, he decided on Friday to cancel an appearance that same evening in South Tyrol and to help,” his business partner Dominik de León told dpa. It is heartbreaking to see the pictures of Ukrainian children fleeing war.
“More than 1,000 beds have already been confirmed”
On Sunday, hip gold (“Big Boobs, Potato Salad”, “I’m still swaying”) drove to the Polish-Ukrainian border with two buses and five other vehicles. Two buses followed today. Since Friday, an “incredible” number of people had agreed to take in Ukrainians via Hipgold’s Summerfield Kids Foundation and social media: “We have already been promised more than 1,000 beds.”
Hip Gold aka Matthias Distel lives in Limburg in Hesse and has an artist agency in Heiligenroth in Westerwald, Rhineland-Palatinate.
