Working with the dying is like being a midwife for this great rite of passage of death. Just as a midwife helps a being take their first breath, you help a being take their last breath.

― Prof. Dr. Richard Alpert

About Us

Dear Friends and Loved Ones,

​

Thank you for coming by to support a cause that is very close to my heart. When we escaped from the civil war in Sri Lanka in 1992 – in which more than 100,000 lost their lives – we left our grandmother behind since she wasn't able to travel. The fact that she died all alone broke my heart. Since her death, I have been drawn to the hospice movement.

​

Hospice care has grown into a worldwide movement that has radically changed the way in which we approach death and dying. In hospices, multi-disciplinary teams strive to offer dignity, peace, and calm at the end of life. When I found the Hospice Hospital in Jaffna, I immediately knew that I wanted to support their precious work. They provide palliative care for the terminally ill (free of charge). They address those without relatives and without sufficient finances.

​

We all want to die a dignified death – please help with your donation to support their work. The donation can be just 5-10 Euros. You can choose a food item that you would like to support monthly (see below).

I wholeheartedly thank you.

​

With love,
Dr. Thars Selvanathan
