The sponsor fee for a family vacation is € 4.000 (average cost for 5 persons), regardless of the number of family members and the destination. A sponsor can either finance the entire cost of a family vacation or donate a smaller amount, which will be added to donations from other sponsors.  In the latter case, he becomes a co-sponsor of a family together with another/other sponsor(s).
This amount covers the travel and transportation costs, accommodation and meals, charges for a travel and medical insurance for all the family members, medical services and equipment, pocket money, car rental with insurance (if needed), gasoline, medical assistant or interpreter (if required), any other travel related costs (e.g. passport, visa, taxi, etc) and reimbursement of telephone and postal charges involved in the administrative handling of the family file.  In addition, the families get free entrance tickets or a financial allowance to visit attraction parks and other local curiosities nearby their travel destination.
The vacation cost per family depends on the number of family members, the season, the transportation cost and airline fares to/from the country of origin, the medical needs of the child and the individual travel and medical insurance, and will therefore be equal to, more or less than the required sponsor fee. Any unspent portion will be mainly used to offer a Beyond the Moon vacation to another family with a sick child and/or to cover additional vacation costs for larger families.

As a sponsor, you can refer yourself a family or Beyond the Moon can nominate a family for you, by involving its network of hospitals and doctors. In both cases, Beyond the Moon will handle the entire administration and make all the arrangements related to the family vacation. We endeavour to nominate a family that not only meets our criteria, but who also lives in the community, region and/or country of the sponsor(s). This makes the support of the sponsor(s) very tangible.
