To make the lives of children with cancer and their families easier, more colourful and more hopeful.
The Förderverein für krebskranke Kinder e.V. Köln is an independent initiative of parents whose child was or is suffering from cancer. In 1990, they joined together to form a support association for children with cancer in order to sustainably improve the living conditions and environment of sick children and young people and their families. As a self-help group, the association passes on its own experiences and supports those currently affected.
Its tasks and goals include
- Operation and management of the parental home
- Discussions and support
- Aftercare and support
- Camps for sick children and their siblings
- Family support
- Research funding
- Financing of third-party funding
- Public relations work
