Description
Our beneficiaries are healthy siblings of sick children. They are often overlooked and left unattended by parents who are busy caring for their sick child. Doctors are not interested in them because they are healthy, and their peers who know their family situation do not know how to behave towards them. This is why we support such persons and at the same time make the public aware of their problems. The grant will help us to expand our offer to our beneficiaries by, among other things, purchasing materials needed to run workshops. We will provide training for volunteers and create professional marketing campaigns. These campaigns, as well as the publications and advertising materials, will help to raise public awareness of the problems faced by healthy siblings growing up in the shadow of a chronically ill child. We will also show how important it is to help such children and how their exclusion from social and family life can be counteracted. The funds received through the grant will allow us to develop our activities in the new city, as well as to build a stable position in the local environment. This will enable us to reach more children, whom we will help in the years to come.
