A Special Recital by Benjamin Bernheim

Deeply attached to Crans-Montana and deeply moved by this tragedy, tenor Benjamin Bernheim, accompanied on piano by Carrie-Ann Matheson, will present an exceptional recital, with all proceeds going directly to burn survivors to cover expenses not covered by insurance.

Where will your donation go?

The funds raised will be donated, through the Fondation Planète Enfants Malades, to the committee chaired by Professor Anthony de Buys Roessingh, chief physician and coordinator of the burn unit at the CHUV. This committee reviews each request and reimburses justified expenses, both physical and psychological.

Why is this necessary?

In Switzerland, care for young people with severe burns who are still in school or have not yet begun an apprenticeship is covered by health insurance (LAMal) rather than accident insurance: a large portion of the costs remains the responsibility of the families. The treatment of a severe burn requires the involvement of numerous healthcare providers over several years and often leaves lasting physical and psychological effects.

Specifically, your contribution will help fund what insurance does not cover: specialized equipment, therapeutic and sunscreen creams, dietary supplements, consultation fees, support for siblings, and physical activities.
