When Gabrielle and Simon faced the serious illness and limited life expectancy of their fourth child, Adrien, their lives, and those of their other children, were turned upside down. Le Phare, Children and Families provided them with essential support, offering respite and light in their daily lives, not only for Adrien but also for Ariane, Alexandre, and Antoine. 

Adrien, who is 3 years old, was welcomed at Le Phare a few months after his birth. This admission was crucial in providing respite for his parents, and it also allowed his siblings to regain some balance, as they, too, were affected by their little brother’s illness. 

All families that arrive at Le Phare go through profound trials, marked by the reality of an illness that affects not only the child in need of care but also the entire family. It transforms the childhood of all the siblings, who experience the illness in their own way.
