Support for the Children's Palliative Care Team South Hesse

The Christian Foundation North-East supports the Children's Palliative Care Team South Hesse in the Darmstadt administrative district with ongoing grants to strengthen palliative care for children and adolescents with life-limiting illnesses. Non-profit organizations can submit applications at any time to enable home care for those affected until the end of life. The program is aimed at families who wish for loving and comprehensive support for their children at home. Through financial support, the interdisciplinary work of the team is secured: physicians, nursing professionals, and psychosocial specialists work hand in hand to ensure the best possible quality of life. Numerous donors and institutions have already contributed to the establishment and further development of this specialized palliative service. The foundation sees this as a direct implementation of Christian charity, avoiding bureaucratic detours.

The focus is on relieving families who want to spend their children's final stage of life in a familiar environment. In addition to medical care, the funding also includes psychosocial support, pain therapy, and counseling on everyday matters. The holistic support promotes the stability of the home environment and enables affected relatives to achieve the best possible balance between caregiving duties and family needs. Interested non-profit organizations in Hesse can submit funding applications at any time and thus contribute to dignified palliative care. This initiative creates space for individual wishes and ensures that children and adolescents can experience the highest possible quality of life in their familiar surroundings.
