Sad farewell: Lichtblickhof loses his loyal mare Felicitás
Sad farewell: Lichtblickhof loses his loyal mare Felicitás
The mare Felicitás has been an indispensable part of the Lichtblickhof children's hospice for over two decades and donated countless seriously ill children. This special horse lady who came to Europe in 2002 was known among the small patients as "the speedster". Due to her loving manner, she accompanied the children during difficult times and helped them to take hope again with their unique connection. After an eventful life, Felicitás died shortly before Christmas and leaves a painful gap, such as reported.
Despite a severe epilepsy disease, which she plagued in her later years, Felicitás remained an estimated part of the therapy offers of the Lichtblickhof. Their sensitivity and the ability to communicate without words with children remained irreplaceable. Roswitha Zink, Managing Director of Lichtblickhof, said that the team would try to let the Spirit of Felicitás live on and to find a kind of celebration for their unforgettable contribution in the mourning. "She would have wanted us to celebrate and not harm the grief," added Zink.
The importance of the Lichtblickhof
The Lichtblickhof has been a non -profit organization since 2002 and offers horse therapies for traumatized and seriously ill children. The use of animals such as Felicitás, but also of sheep, cats and other animals, has proven to be particularly healing. However, despite this significant work, the responsible challenges are faced with the city of Vienna. The question of why such a valuable service that enjoys international recognition does not receive enough support, as krone.at performed.
In view of the loss of Felicitás, it is all the more important for the Lichtblickhof to find support. Every euro counts to create bright spots for the families concerned and to continue the important work that has touched so many lives.| Details | |
