Dear Slovenian men and women!
In the Slolux association, we have launched several campaigns to help Slovenians in need. This time, a Slovenian family that lives very close to us - here in Luxembourg - needs help.
Nikola, the son of Darija Brinc, is an immensely good-natured and sweet 8-year-old boy who was born with a severe eye defect, due to which his vision is very poor. He was also diagnosed with autism at the age of six. Although many claim that children with autism will never be able to live independently, the Son-rise program proves the exact opposite with its unique approach - highly trained professionals and dedicated and educated volunteers who devote themselves completely to both the child, the parents and the educator are already many have turned the impossible into the possible.
Darija, who like all other parents only wants the best for her child, sees the light at the end of the tunnel in this program. However, there are also significant costs associated with this: the program not only requires an adapted space at home, but also participation in a professional intensive program in Sheffield, USA. The currently estimated costs are €20,000.
