Description
The initiative, led by the Soonwald Foundation "Help for Children in Need," is committed nationwide to supporting children and adolescents from private Bundeswehr families in situations of hardship beyond their control. The focus is on minors whose mother or father has been killed, wounded, or psychologically traumatized due to deployment. In such cases, the funding provides straightforward access to financial grants and practical assistance. The continuously available subsidies are tailored to individual needs and complement existing support services from government agencies.
Specific funding opportunities include needs-based financial benefits that can be used specifically for education, care, or medical treatments. Additionally, the foundation offers free family vacations in the Soonwald Foundation’s apartment houses to ensure rest and psychosocial stabilization. Personal support from experienced experts ensures that each family receives tailored advice and guidance. Applications can be submitted at any time, provided a parent was killed, wounded, or traumatized during Bundeswehr deployment and a child or adolescent is in an unavoidable emergency situation. In this way, the initiative effectively supports young people whose lives have been severely challenged by a parent’s deployment.
