Families affected by a child's serious illness have their lives and everyday reality completely changed. One parent, most often the mother, stays athome and devotes most of her energy to caring for the child every day. Day and night, mom has to beready to help him with everything and tries not to let his condition suddenly worsened. Dad has to work in the bes tway to support the family financially. Healthy siblings also help, and parents have less time for them subsequently. It's exhausting for every member of the family. In many ways, these families rely on doctors, nurses, caregivers, therapists, socialworkers, and other specialists to help them immensely.   

   

However, more and more professionals are needed in pediatric palliative care. The ideal we try to reach is the professional team available as soon as possible for every family that needs them. The family must have a professional source of knowledge, advice, and tips on the most effective care and help. The experienced team also helps the family members to deal with urgent situations and provides relief. We believe that investing in the development and training of professionals makes a real difference. It will pay off in the long term by helping many families in challenging situations. Professional support can significantly improve the lives of many children and their parents.    

  

We will soon announce our first public grant call focusing on supporting the education of professionals and raising awareness of children's palliative care. We will distribute all the funds raised to pediatric palliative care providers and organizations and even add more. We have decided to quadruple every crown you donate.
