The little cuddly dogs are given to children who find themselves in exceptional emotional situations – whether during medical service operations, in emergency pastoral care or in the ‘Seelentröster’ children’s bereavement group.
The feedback from Johanniter has been overwhelmingly positive: the ‘comfort animals’ provide closeness and security and bring a smile to children’s faces in difficult moments.
Through N&L Kinderfreuden, we are able to specifically support projects like this and thus give children in difficult situations a little comfort and security.
A big thank you to Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe e.V., which is committed to helping children in need with such dedication and empathy, and to Minister Katharina Schenk (Thuringian Minister for Social Affairs, Health, Labour and Family), who also supports the project.
