Funding of the Dr. Valentin Gerein Foundation (medical individual case assistance)

The Dr. Valentin Gerein Foundation provides professional and financial support nationwide to private applicants in urgent individual medical cases. The focus is on children, adolescents, and young adults who require immediate surgical interventions, therapies, or medications due to severe or rare illnesses. As an uncomplicated grant solution, the foundation enables swift action to prevent treatment delays or discontinuations. Funding is provided on an ongoing basis and covers surgery costs, therapy expenses, and medication costs, with the individual case nature and urgency of the medical need being paramount.

For an application, in addition to a medical diagnosis report and a treatment cost estimate, proof of financial need and a comprehensible cost breakdown are required. Applications can be submitted at any time and are evaluated based on clear criteria – urgency of the case, plausibility of the cost estimate, and individual case character. The goal is to offer rapid assistance to children, adolescents, and young adults in acute extreme situations so that necessary treatments can be carried out without financial barriers. The Dr. Valentin Gerein Foundation reliably supports funded projects from application through to the final report, thereby making a sustainable contribution to the medical care of young patients.
