| More than 22,000 children and youths in Germany suffer from a fatal disease. With such a diagnosis the whole world falls apart for the children, the parents, brothers and sisters and other loved ones. Despair, helplessness, grief and anger, a turmoil of feelings that make it impossible to lead a normal life. Day for day the families face enormously difficult challenges. The 24-hour care of a seriously ill child is permanent psychological and physical stress. The association Friends of the Children’s Hospice Tambach-Dietharz - Förderverein des Kinderhospizes Mitteldeutschland in Tambach-Dietharz – has taken on the task of helping these people. |

The “Haven for Life” is there to provide “more scope for humanity”. Here the entire family can find relief and peace and quiet to regain their strength. The time that remains for the families together should be fulfilling, therefore a feeling of security, companionship and a love of life is at the heart of this centre. The atmosphere in the hospice, the personnel and the devotion of all those involved help to form heartfelt friendships and relations to these families. The Auerbach Foundation supports the “Haven for Life” to ensure these requirements can be fulfilled on a professional and high-quality level. |
