The CasaOz is an association helping families with ill children, offering assistance and support in planning a return to normal social life. But foremost, it provides a place, a facility in which families can be received and find others willing to listen and offer their empathy and support. As such, it opens a window on a different way to conceive of life and pain, collecting the stories of persons who wish to help each other change their view of illness and to create a place where families can learn how to cope with the difficulties their children face.
