What problem are we addressing?
Cancer patients often suffer not only physically but also emotionally. Anxiety, exhaustion, pain, and sleeplessness are part of daily life, especially during or after treatment. In our psychosocial support work, we frequently see how much patients long for moments of peace and relaxation. Unfortunately, many facilities lack simple but effective spaces for rest.

Who do we want to help?
We aim to support people with cancer who receive care at our center – regardless of age, background, or stage of illness. Especially those in active treatment or recovering from long-term side effects will benefit.

How will we proceed?
We plan to purchase a high-quality relaxation lounger designed for therapeutic use. It will be placed in a quiet room in our facility where patients can rest independently or take part in guided sessions such as:

- Imaginative Body Psychotherapy
- Breathing and relaxation exercises
- Music and sound therapy
- Quiet time for regeneration
Who is involved?
Our team includes experienced psycho-oncologists, therapists, and dedicated volunteers. Former patients are also helping to shape the concept based on their experiences.
Is there a timeline?
As soon as we reach our fundraising goal, we’ll purchase the lounger – ideally by the end of summer. Preparations for the space are already underway, and we hope to have it in use by September.
What exactly do we need donations for?
100% of your donation will go toward:
- The therapeutic relaxation lounger
- Creating a calming space (e.g. lighting, acoustic elements, aromatherapy)
- Supporting materials (blankets, meditation aids, sound devices)
Every donation – big or small – brings us closer to offering this healing space.
🙏 Help us give cancer patients moments of rest and new strength.
