€4,500 Donation Boosts Free Counselling for Families in Crisis

A €4,500 donation from the Lions Club 'Bergische Löwinnen' will support counselling services at donum vitae in the Rheinisch-Bergischer district. The all-women's club, founded in 2022, has directed the funds toward trauma support, newborn welcome packages, and emergency relief. Demand for these services has grown steadily, with over 1,000 consultations recorded annually since 2022.

Donum vitae offers free counselling for women, men, couples, and families with young children. Topics covered include pregnancy conflicts, childbirth, and family planning. Around 35% of first-time cases involve pregnancy-related issues.

The organisation relies on public grants and private donations to keep its services cost-free. Its main centre is located at Hauptstr. 126 in Bergisch Gladbach, with contact details available via phone (+49 2202 108650) or email ([email protected]). The Lions Club 'Bergische Löwinnen', the first of its kind in the region, has now contributed to these efforts. Their donation will expand support for traumatic birth experiences, provide essential items for newborns, and bolster an emergency fund for urgent needs. Further information and donation options can be found at www.donumvitae-rbk.de or via the direct link here.

The funding will help donum vitae maintain and expand its free counselling services. With rising demand, the donation ensures continued support for families facing pregnancy, birth, and early parenting challenges. Additional contributions can be made through the organisation's website.
