Blue Cross Greenland needs support! The need is vast and we need to find new people to support the Blue Cross Activities. Better funding would make work more sustainable.
There are parents who go through alcohol and drug treatment provided by authorities. Meanwhile the family stays at home and struggles on with their everyday life. Many parents returning home after treatment face the same old reality of disfunctional relationships and lack of skills to manage finances and routines of everyday life. This could lead to relapse if everyday life just gets too much.
Blue Cross has opened a living room for these families. Family can come as a whole. Children will play and parents can have a cup of coffee and talk about their needs. The Blue Cross staff and volunteers give advice on managing everyday life, housekeeping and finances. A lot of pressure is released when family knows there is enough money for food and all other necessities. In this informal setting they learn to manage their family situation in a more constructive way. Families are happier as a whole and the interventions from statutory services have better sustainability.
We hope you stay connected with us, if we can raise funds for a support worker for the year 2018 this great work can continue. Thank you for thinking of us- we cannot do it without your support!
