Seriously ill children - some of them breathing on respirators, some of them living on nutritional support, or requiring 24 hrs medical care - are always a huge challenge for their families. 

Usually one of the parents simply has got to give up the job. In general the social pension in Poland for such people is simply a drop in the ocean, as costs of all such medical services for disabled children are monstrous and refunded only in minimal part. 

The idea of our Maintenance Grant Fund is to support all those, who - for many reasons - are not able to appeal to the public for help; to all those being alone with their problems, suffering and sorrows. Their own individual efforts to collect the funds are usually ineffective, or insufficient, as they lack the skills, knowledge or wide enough social milieu to get funds equal to the task. This is why we are here to support them. 

Every penny counts! So we dare to ask you, and you, and you, and all, to support our idea with a payment to our account. To gain our infinite gratitude it's enough to provide a little sum, or to make a one-time payment. But the best thing you can do for those who are really in need, is to declare even a tiny sum of money but systematically, every month. Don't forget that our…, that your wards would be in need forever.
