Whenever possible, your donation will be used for the selected product. As we continue to develop the donation shop, we will create different product categories. Each donation product is assigned to a category, which is listed in the product information. Currently, we offer products to support our operations. If we urgently need funds for other expenses in this area, your donation may also be used for that purpose. This allows us to allocate your donation where it is needed most.
We are grateful for your valuable support!

According to the latest projections, more than 10,000 children and young people (up to the age of 18) in Switzerland are living with life-limiting illnesses. The aim is to create a place of retreat for families under great strain, where the professional application of paediatric palliative care (PPC) gives sick children, as well as their families and siblings, the opportunity to receive care, advice and support. Despite the existing clinical and external hospital services, there is a lack of necessary care places. The aim here is to create a bridging offer for temporary support that also benefits the families affected in a preventative way.
A children’s hospice has a pioneering and innovative character in the Swiss care landscape. In contrast to most other European countries, public co-financing of children’s hospices in Switzerland is neither politically regulated nor financially secure.
The overall project for an inpatient children’s hospice—that is, construction, operation, and palliative care and support—must therefore be financed primarily through donations. The services offered at the Flamingo Children’s Hospice go far beyond what is covered by health insurance providers. To ensure holistic and comprehensive care, support, and assistance for the sick children, their immediate caregivers, and their siblings, we rely on your ongoing support.
