Dear Customer,
Hanna is 13 years old and lives in Tirol. During her birth she suffered bleeding on the brain. Since then Hanna has got a strong visual disorder and is retarded, her right vocal cord is paralyzed following an operation. Due to severe Scoliosis last summer 5 of her ribs needed to be exchanged with titanium ones. Already when Hanna was very young she had always dreamed to see the Eiffel Tower in Paris and to visit Disney Land.
Just before her last and very difficult operation which took 10 hours Hanna was begging her mother again to go to Paris once she is feeling a bit better. This is her biggest wish in life.
Dear Business Partners,
Little is spoken about them, rarely reported, but they are there: Approximately 1,000 children in Lower Austria are living in institutions. Their number is constantly growing. The most common reasons for children to be separated from their parents include violence, neglect and abuse. Children and adolescents who are exposed to sexual, psychological or physical violence in their personal environment have just as much right to security as everyone else. Despite all efforts rehousing is very hard, especially when it comes to accommodating siblings together in a warm and welcoming home. The new “Johanna Dohnal children’s residence” in St. Pölten has been created exactly for this need. It provides up to ten sibling children a "safe" and warm place.
