Thomas Balou Martin has known the family audiobook for several years and is now involved as an ambassador, because he knows from his own experience how much a child can miss the voice of mom or dad. On January 30, the well-known actor, voice actor and audiobook speaker started a fundraising campaign under the motto: “Media professionals are committed to keeping the voice alive”. The campaign is scheduled for six months and other actors and filmmakers are already on board. The ambitious goal: 100,000 euros.
This donation is intended to ensure that the team can actively respond to the high number of requests from affected parents, that future accompanying research with a special focus on the effects on children and adolescents is realized and that the previously purely voluntary psycho-oncological experts are firmly anchored in the core team. On the scale in which Familienhörbuch gGmbH now operates, with 170 audiobooks a year, the social enterprise needs permanent employees and a secure framework structure.
