Happy moments for the holiday season
The festival of love and joy is just around the corner.
A wonderful opportunity to give moments of joy to people who are less fortunate than us.
This year we are supporting the project "Weekend for young widowed people and their children in the Schöntal Monastery" with a donation. In this way, we would like to enable affected families to exchange ideas and have wonderful experiences together in a relaxed atmosphere.
Because the Christmas season should be a time full of happy moments and hope for all families.
St. Martin children's and youth hospice service
The children's and youth hospice service is a joint facility of the Hospiz St. Martin and the Malteser in the Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart.
Families with a child or young person with a life-shortening illness are supported at home and in the clinic from the time of diagnosis. Children and young people who have to say goodbye to a parent or sibling receive support in shaping their farewell. Everyone who has to deal with a family in which children and young people are confronted with dying and death is advised, as are relatives, neighbours, friends or people who deal with these issues professionally.
We are networked with institutions and experts in the region with whom we coordinate our services.
Weekend for widowed people and their children in the Schöntal Monastery
The weekend is an invitation to experience beautiful things with other adults, children and young people who have a similar fate: talk to each other, play, sing, swim, enjoy the beauty of the Jagsttal. In addition to joint activities, there are discussion sessions for the adults and a programme for the children and young people. People who participate in the group "Living widowed with children" are welcome.
