Reason: The chronic nursing emergency. There is a shortage of qualified child intensive specialists for home care.
“Sometimes we'd just like to take it and go home with it,” says Leo's mother Alice. For this, the family urgently needs help from a nursing service. "Especially at the beginning when he comes home," says Alice. “Leo needs support, but so do we as a family.” The machine must be monitored, the oxygen supply measured - tasks for which the family urgently needs external help . The problem is that the nursing service that looks after the family from Unterhaching does not currently have enough intensive care nurses to look after - a fundamental problem. And that's where football comes in .
