Welfare flats - Josep Carreras Leukaemia Foundation

Did you know that 5,000 people get sick with leukaemia each year in Spain, which is the most common childhood cancer, and that despite the progress made, we still lose one in four minors and half of adults? At the Josep Carreras Foundation we have been working for more than 30 years to make leukaemia a 100% curable disease, to find 100% compatible donors for everyone, and to make displaced patients feel at home. With your help, we are unstoppable.

A cosa è destinato l’aiuto?

Fundación Josep Carreras contra la Leucemia

The Josep Carreras Foundation against Leukemia has a program of welflare flats (8), whose objective is to offer accommodation to patients with leukaemia and other oncohematological diseases, and their families, with limited financial resources and who live far from the hospital center that serves them. The Foundation works with hospitals that perform bone marrow transplants and CAR-T immunotherapies in the Barcelona area. All flats are single-family, have no cost for patients and are awarded by the hospitals' social work unit. Since its creation, it has welcomed more than 500 patients and their families and has offered a total of 30,578 nights of accommodation.
