***UPDATE 24/4/20
Despite best efforts our worst fears have become a reality. Multiple cases of Covid 19 have been confirmed in two of the institutions we support with immunocompromised children, elderly adults and many staff members battling this horrid virus.
Cherven is home to 280 children and young people with physical and intellectual disabilities and Kyl is home to 500 people the vast majority are elderly and disabled.
The situation is critical. Brave staff are fighting for the most vulnerable people in society in desperate conditions. Many are now working a full 2 week shift to avoid cross contamination with other shifts. This is exhausting and dangerous work in buildings that don't allow for social distancing.
They need and deserve PPE.
They need and deserve access to basic medical essentials such as thermometers.
They need and deserve sanitation equipment.
They need and deserve the best fighting chance.
They need us.
They need you!
Please please if you can, make a donation to this link. If you are unable to do so please share with your family and friends, colleagues, neighbours, communities, everyone.
All monies raised will go directly towards this essential equipment needed in these affected institutions.
The outpour of support and love these past few days has been overwhelming but we still need to keep pushing, for all of them, the staff, and the vulnerable children and elderly adults.
Thank you one and all. ❤️🌻
This page was originally set up to raise funds to help with the continuous running costs and expenses of our medical, nutritional and social programmes we run annually. These programmes were in jeapordy because all volunteer trips to Gorodishche and Cherven have been cancelled for the foreseeable future, also because of new restrictions any public fundraisers we'd planned cannot go ahead. Unfortunately because the situation has become critical now we can't even afford to think of these programmes as now it is a matter of saving and protecting lives. We thank you all for your donations, how ever big or small, they will all help us immeasruably help the most vulnerable.
