– I have lost a child, but this is the second saddest day I have experienced. We were to welcome families from all over the country in a few weeks. They ache for this offer. They were so close to getting it. Now we have to crush that hope, says secretary general of FFB, Natasha Pedersen. In a press release, the association writes that the reason is that the government proposes to remove earmarked money from the national budget. – I have devoted my whole life to this project, but the cut from the government makes it impossible to pursue it seriously. We have employed skilled and committed professionals, who will take care of dying and seriously ill children. This is a very vulnerable group, says Pedersen. – It is impossible to run a children’s hospice on searchable project funds. It requires predictability and political signals we can trust, she says. news recently revealed that the association has spent large sums on TV advertising, design furniture and PR consultants. The children’s hospice should have opened its doors in January. Now the association concludes that it will not be possible to run the children’s hospice without earmarked money from the state.
