Coffees from a German Cafe Bringing Smiles Amidst War: The Heartwarming Story of Olivier Caffè
Emotional Letter Sent to Wolfsburger - "Hats, Full of Tearful Eyes"
In these tumultuous times, characterized by economic instability, conflicts, and widespread unrest, the importance of solidarity cannot be overstated. A small cafe in the German city of Wolfsburg has stepped up to demonstrate this spirit of unity through an incredibly touching act: they contribute to a humanitarian organization that delivers coffee to the beleaguered people of Ukraine.
The aftermath of this selfless gesture is both humbling and heartwarming. The staff at Olivier Caffè begin to receive correspondence overflowing with gratitude, but also a heartfelt memento that leaves them deeply moved.
The Noble Deeds of Olivier Caffè
Since the launch of the "FCKAfD" initiative in early 2024 (insight: details on this campaign can be found here), Olivier Caffè has been a consistent donor, contributing approximately 10,000 euros to various charitable projects. Moreover, Ukraine receives regular shipments of coffee, artfully packed as "FCKPTN Coffee." The first batch was dispatched over a year ago, and around 200 packages have been sent so far, reveals owner Daniel Olivier to News38.
For the people in Ukraine, these donations hold immense significance. The staff at Olivier Caffè frequently receive images and feedback from war-torn regions—testimonials from those who have enjoyed the coffee. This feedback serves to reinforce their commitment. However, a recent piece of correspondence from the Ukrainian helpers showcases a different level of emotion and impact.

A Tangible Reminder of War's Horror
This heartrending correspondence contained a small, brightly painted cartridge, repurposed as a keychain. "How did we feel? Terrible. We all had tears in our eyes," Daniel recalls. "This serves as a grim reminder of the terrible war. The thought of children scavenging through devastated cities, painting cartridges, and giving them to helpers, is heart-wrenching." Daniel expression of conviction is unwavering: "Children should be collecting stones, leaves, and snails—not cartridges!"
Daniel now carries the cartridge with him everywhere. He acknowledges that the donated coffee will not end the war, but he finds solace in knowing that "it brings a smile to some people's faces in Ukraine for a moment, which is a nice feeling."
