Who we are
The Corazones Solidarios Foundation was born in Vienna, Austria, inspired by a deeply personal experience: supporting a father diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at an early age.
That experience revealed not only the impact of the disease, but also the silent suffering of family members and caregivers. From there arose the commitment that now drives our work.
Our mission
To support family members and caregivers of people with dementia by offering emotional support, practical guidance, and spiritual care, so they can provide care without losing themselves in the process.
We firmly believe that caregiving should not be a lonely path, but one sustained by a human, supportive, and hope-filled network.
