The fight for children's rights
Løvemammaene is a diagnosis-independent organization that works to inform about and improve the rights of children and young people with illness and functional variation. We are passionate about support, freedom and equality for the whole family.
Rights
You may be entitled to various allowances and assistance schemes for supervision, nursing and care for children and young people with illness and/or functional variation.
The help service
It is tough to stand alone in the application and appeal processes. We can guide and help in dealing with the system and how to write a good application.
Our work
