We know perfectly that refugee camps in Germany don’t always meet even the basic requirements so that such a family could get by. That can pose a threat to the mental and physical health of disabled, chronically ill and neurodivergent people or even put their lives at risk.

A lot of families hesitate and refuse to be evacuated. They fear being left without a home, medical or social care, assistive devices, necessary treatment, or even food for their children to eat.

For instance, refugees can’t always cook for themselves in a camp. Sometimes lactose- and gluten-free food is not available.

We regret to say that many people fleeing Ukraine have to face obstacles in the EU social system.

We at Sunflower Care look for solutions to overcome them.

We do our best to help disabled, chronically ill, neurodivergent children, teenagers and adults and their caregivers not to be excluded or marginalised.

We want them to have access to inclusive medicine, care, education, and leisure.

Working together, we can ensure support that is built on the needs and demands of disabled, chronically ill and neurodivergent people.
