Our motivation is deeply personal: Our daughter Lara survived leukemia and lives with a congenital heart defect. From our own experience, we know how challenging it is for a family with a sick or disabled child to find strength. With Maison du Soleil, we want to create a place where families in similar situations can find peace and feel truly welcome.

We are currently searching in a quiet, nature-oriented region in France – preferably in a rural area. It is important to us that the property offers enough space for accessible guest rooms, common areas, our family, and a beautiful outdoor space.

Yes, very much so! Even though the house has not yet been purchased, we rely on donations—for example, for consultations, down payments, renovations, or furnishing.
➡️ You can donate via the link on our website or on Goodcrowd.

Additionally, we gladly accept Contacts with real estate agents, tips on potential properties promotion of the project or practical help (e.g., with grant applications).

Your contribution is directed to used only for the project’s development: purchase, renovation, accessible facilities, play and garden areas, or necessary infrastructure.

We have clearly outlined the planned expenses and stages on our website. Our aim is to build a stable, sustainable project for the long term—not just a wishful dream, but a place that truly makes a difference.

With our full commitment and expertise, we approach this project carefully and in stages. Naturally, risks are involved. If the project cannot proceed due to circumstances beyond our control, we will openly inform everyone about how the funds already raised will be managed.

Our wish is to use what has already been raised to advance the inclusive mission — if necessary, in another form.

At the moment, we do not have a concrete location, so we cannot take reservations yet. However, if you’re interested in staying with us, please send us an email. We’ll add you to our interest list without obligation and notify you as soon as there’s news.

Maison du Soleil welcomes the entire family. We believe it is essential that all members of the family have the chance to unwind — not just the child affected. That’s why we also consider play areas, retreat spaces for parents, group activities, and creative programs for siblings when designing the space.

Absolutely! Every bit of help counts: Maybe you have Connections in France, are good with hands, have experience with Accessibility, financial support, linguistic mediation, construction, education or public relations (PR) ? Have questions? Drop us a line – every bit of support means a lot to us.

Help us grow by sharing our website and talking about the project with those around you—friends, family, colleagues, and clubs—and feel free to recommend media or networks that might be interested.

Every time you recommend us, we advance a step— Thank you

Currently, we are not officially registered as a charitable organization yet. Therefore, we are currently unable to not issue donation receipts. Our team is working towards establishing the conditions needed to offer this going forward.

Accessibility, for us, is not limited to being wheelchair-accessible. We want to develop a setting that addresses diverse needs:
– accessible rooms and bathrooms
– no thresholds
– calm places to withdraw
– clear and easy-to-understand language
– navigational assistance
– lots of understanding and flexibility in daily life

No, the House of the Sun is not a care home or medical center. However, in the future, we plan to cooperate with local facilities, mobile care services, and therapists, so that families can receive support if needed—even during their stay.

It will depend on the property we find. Currently, we are planning for 3 to 6 accessible guest apartments or rooms, a common area and, of course, space for us as the operating family. The size should allow for social interaction but also provide opportunities for retreat.

Ultimately, we strive for a charitable status like a nonprofit organization or a charitable limited company (gGmbH). This approach ensures transparency, qualifies us for grants, and allows issuing donation receipts. Initially, we begin as a private project to keep operations flexible.

Yes – in the long term, we also want our house to for inclusive children’s groups open to, for example, school classes, special education schools, or integrative institutions. However, it is important to us that the place does not become a mass operation but remains family-oriented.
