Dear friend, we are so grateful for your support for children who cannot overcome cancer.
Thanks to you and philanthropists like you, palliative families can enjoy time together.
This month, four families of the palliative program went to the countryside to gain strength. Today we share with you the story of their incredible journey.
Every day parents and children did exercises together, had meetings with a psychologist and Canistherapy classes. Dogs Lika and Skif accompanied the parents during their morning walk to the farm. They raise the emotional and psychological state of the parents, helping to distract from problems and switch their attention to positive emotions.
Children were engaged with a music therapist and volunteers — they made musical instruments. On the other master classes they made dragons' crowns, built a giant piñata and beat it with a bat (everyone could let off steam), played board games, and visited the rope town.
Families went to the pool, fed the goats, walked by the lake, had a disco, enjoyed a chemical show, baked bread, ate popcorn, and watched a cartoon on a big screen.
The families created their universe in memory of the vacation — each family painted their picture!
Our photographer is preparing albums about this beautiful time as gifts for the families.
Families were happy to have fun together and get away from their worries.
Thank you so much for making this wonderful as such a necessary trip real!
