The circle of parents of disabled children Olching (EbK) had to stop its family relief service (FeD) after 23 years.

Olching - "With great regret", as EbK chairman Manuela Brehmer said. After all, they have put their heart and soul, commitment and financial resources into it all these years. "The step is bitter, but well considered."

The reasons for this are varied. The cost is a point. The FeD had not borne itself in recent years. For such a small club, large sums had to be brought in from the club's assets. In addition, it has become increasingly difficult in the past to find volunteers - including younger ones - who are available over a longer period of time. Especially with people with disabilities, however, it is absolutely essential to always have the same caregiver. This is the only way to build a relationship of trust.

The “Nursing Strengthening Act II” was also felt violently, since its content is primarily geared towards the elderly and people with dementia - and not towards families with children with intellectual disabilities. The families affected were cut by up to EUR 1,000 a year in support. The EbK chairperson gives an example: Many of the families had 2496 euros available for everyday support before the reform in the year, and only 1,500 euros after the reform. The monthly amount of 125 euros that is now paid does not correspond to the need. This could also be completely different over the course of the year - for example due to unpredictable things such as the carer's illness. Due to the loss of subsidized childcare hours, the FeD was deprived of government grants that were necessary for survival.

The FeD has now made an effort to accommodate those affected by the services of larger institutions. All other offers of the association remain. at all
