[Amérique/ Déc. 2009] Tom & Bill help a sick friend

Tokio Hotel’s Tom and Bill Kaulitz help a sick friend

Of late, the members of the German band, Tokio Hotel have been known for their generosity. On World AIDS day, they helped kick off an AIDS fundraiser in conjunction with Designers Against AIDS (DAA). Now, it seems that two of the members, Bill and Tom Kaulitz are at it again. This time they’re trying to help save the life of a friend in need.

A Friend in Need

The Kaulitz twins, Bill and Tom of Tokio Hotel have reached out this holiday season to help a friend. It seems one Frank Gebbers, husband of their former school teacher, Anne Fritsche needs a bone marrow donor, the Ruhr Nachrichten wrote in a report last week. Gebbers is the long time leader of the Volkshochschule (adult education center) in Bochum.

However, efforts to find a donor in his own family proved to be futile. Now there is a search for a donor outside the family. That’s where Bill and Tom Kaulitz come in.

Some of their education was via the Bochumer web-Individualschule. For the entirety of their education with the school, they had one teacher, Anne Fritsche. Although the Kaulitzes have graduated, they remained in contact with Bochum and still have a friendly relationship with their teacher today. When the twins found out about the trouble with Gebbers, they volunteered to help.

Donations Gladly Accepted…

On Wednesday the 16th, there will be a search for possible donor. From 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on the premises of BWI, possible donors can come and be tested via blood sample to determine if they are a match. Anyone who participates will receive as a thank you a card autographed by the school’s most famous graduates, Bill and Tom Kaulitz.

According to the report, the box with the autographs has already been sent.

Appropriate donors would be at least 18 years old and weight at least 121 pounds.

Because of the crowds that would be expected, the Kaulitzes will not be making an appearance.
