Help can be so pragmatic and simple. A guest bed and a morning coffee - often that's enough! And an arriving dad or mom can visit their child regularly. With your commitment, you enable more reliable and regular visits of the children, because you relieve the traveling dad or mom financially and give support.
A volunteer host usually offers a father or mother two free overnight stays per month. Many of our parents also appreciate the opportunity to stay overnight with their child or play during the day. Finally read a bedtime story again or tinker together - that's wonderful!
The parentsr are happy to introduce themselves beforehand with a cup of coffee or a phone call to the host. The committment can be interrupted or ended at any time.
