Families tell their story:

Just beingMum and Dadagain

Between all the hospital appointments and the constant fear, there was barely any room left in everyday life for our children. Jelas Place gave us a week in a small wooden cabin at the edge of the forest.

For the first time in months we laughed together as a family again, freely, without cancer being the thing that ruled everything. Those days together give us so much strength for the road ahead.
