Bärenherz – Foundation for terminally ill children

The Bärenherz foundation supports institutions for families with terminally ill children having a short life-expectancy

The Bärenherz foundation boosts projects and institutions for terminally ill children having a short life-expectancy, especially, the foundation establishes children's hospices. The main work is to relieve the families. The seriously ill and often disabled child marks the centre of the family life. Frequent hospital stays, around-the-clock care and the continuous fear to lose the child are a heavy burden for the family and sometimes even a danger for the work life. Institutions for seriously ill children, such as hospices, offer help and support. The Bärenherz foundation for example boosts a children's hospice in Wiesbaden.

The shattering diagnosis "terminally ill", the phrases "short life expectancy" or "there are no more drugs for cure" attac families abruptly and with cruelty. The children's hospice Bärenherz tries to accompany concerned families and children as good as possible.
