KRS: 0000582875
We help children with life-threatening conditions.
We support families.
Every day, we visit young patients at their homes. At the “Formuła Dobra” Hospice for Children of Lower Silesia, we believe our patients deserve to stay in a place that each of us connects with peace, security and harmony – at home.
Our medical and therapeutic experience and our daily work make up a comprehensive program to help terminally ill children who inevitably approach their passing. We want the children to be surrounded by family and our professional care. We are genuinely with them. Will you join us?

Perinatal Hospice
Here we support families who have found out about their child’s terminal illness during pregnancy. We provide psychological and spiritual help, as well as doctor’s consultations with our specialist in palliative medicine.
We work with gynecologists, obstetricians and neonatology experts from the University Clinical Hospital in Wrocław, as well as with geneticists from the Wrocław Genetic Clinic and the Evangelium Vitae foundation.
If you or your relatives are affected by a serious illness of an unborn child, please call us at +48 792 510 010 or email us at

I like dancing, reading, listening to music, I enjoy handcrafting, walks, near and far trips. I like to develop myself creatively.
I am 44 years old and have a degree in philosophy from the University of Wroclaw. I became a volunteer out of my heart’s need, and it stayed that way. For me, volunteering is both giving and getting – I give myself, my time and commitment, and I receive the goodness.
My kind word: “When we help others, we help ourselves because all the good we give comes full circle and returns to us.”

I like cycling, mountains and board games.
Born in 1990. I work and live in Wrocław. I am a “migrant” from Radom in central Poland. I love meeting my friends, especially over board games. I enjoy cycling and mountain hiking. I became a volunteer because I want to help children who are vulnerable and who depend on us, adults. The greatest reward is the smile of children and their families, and the trust they show.
My kind word: “A human is great not by what they possess but by what they are; not by what they have but by what they share”. John Paul II

I like to spend my free time solving puzzles with my son.
I am 51 years old. I live in Wroclaw. I graduated from the Papal Theological Faculty in Wrocław and from postgraduate studies in speech therapy and oligophrenic pedagogy. I work in a primary school. I volunteer because helping others gives me great joy. I also want to teach this to my son Jaś who is the youngest volunteer in the team. He inspires the team with his joy and energy.
My kind word: “One should be as good as bread on the table for everyone, from which each of us can cut a bite for themselves and feed themselves if they are hungry.”
