More than 10% of the children loses one or both parents by death before they reach their 20th year. Such a loss at a young age is a very significant event that may leave its traces for many of years. Traces which are often not directly related with the grief at the time The Leo Moret Foundation was established on the 19th of June 2009 in the memory of Leo Moret, who passed away on the 19th of June, 1987. As one of those children who belong to that 10%, together with my mother and my brother, I decided to set up the Leo Moret Foundation. We did this mainly to gain more insight into this subject. The Leo Moret Foundation does scientific research into the effects on children who are at a young age when losing one or both of their parents to a serious illness. The Leo Moret Foundation supports a variety of forms of reception and guidance for this group and their families. The Leo Moret Foundation supports by collecting money and bringing people and groups in contact with each other. The Leo Moret Foundation has an ANBI status which means that donations, gifts and bequests are tax deductible. The Foundation is a non-profit organization.
