€38 covers one bed, one night. €1,140 covers a full month for a family beside the hospital where their child is being treated. Every euro you give is a direct, tangible act of hospitality.
A parent does not sleep on a chair tonight.
A family stays through a treatment cycle.
A child is not alone for a month of care.
A bed in your name, available forever.

Our Director of Philanthropy, Mme Constance Léveillé, is available for confidential conversations.
For corporations, family offices, and foundations seeking measurable, audited social impact in healthcare and hospitality.
