Among many causes Anima had aided, the most notable was supporting the palliative care in Gdynia, Poland.
In 2013 we had a great chance to assist our friends from Hospice of St. Lawrence Association, Allcon Budownictwo and the local government in developing Amber Harbour, the city’s first hospice for children. Since then we have organised numerous events, concerts and social parties to ensure that the facility and its patients get the recognition and financial support they deserve.
Together with Jakub Ubych, Magda Stasiak and Michał Ostrowicki, we helped create Gdynia’s both adult and children hospices’ websites. We have been managing Amber Harbour’s social media presence, raising awareness of palliative care and often running donation drives for food, toys and toiletries. Thankfully, support among the local community has been astonishing, with institutions and people of all ages assigning for the volunteer work and frequently providing children with daily necessities or holiday gifts.
Amber Harbour provides perinatal and postnatal children palliative care, both stationary and at patient’s home.
