Growing up with a disability or serious chronic illness is never easy. For children, it often means giving up everyday freedom, carefree play and real participation:

Simply going to kindergarten, to the playground with friends or spontaneously attending a children’s birthday party? For many of our little heroes, this is only possible if they are constantly accompanied by an adult. And this becomes a real burden during puberty at the latest. Who wants to have a chaperone with them on their first date?

An assistance dog can be more than just a help – it becomes a friend, protector and bridge to the world.
Individually trained for the special needs of the child (and often the parents too), it can:

draw attention to possible emergencies,

Provide orientation and security in everyday life,

calm the child down or lead them out of stressful situations,

build a deep emotional connection – especially with children on the autism spectrum.

Dogs often reach children where words no longer work.

However, even with the new Assistance Dog Act of 2021, families are still stuck with the costs. Health insurance companies do not cover the training costs – they have to be financed privately or through donations.

🎁 Every donation helps.
Whether a one-off or regular donation – your contribution gives a child back a piece of freedom, independence and joie de vivre.

🙏 Thank you for supporting our work.
