On June 1, the whole world celebrates International Children's Day. It is on this date that many actions, pickets and rallies are dedicated in different countries, designed to draw attention to the problems of modern society and the need to support those who are smaller and weaker than us. It turns out that in order to explain to people how important this is, we even had to come up with a special day. That is why it is doubly joyful to know that in Russia there are those who protect and protect children every day, without weekends and holidays, and not just on June 1.
Today "Oh!" I have collected the most sincere, most important quotes from philanthropists about why you need to help. In simple words about the most important thing, so that you understand it yourself and can explain it to your children.
We live in a time when the concept of “love” is devalued. Every person feels a lack of love, tenderness, warmth. When charity appeared in my life, I began to receive a huge avalanche of warmth, kindness and love. In addition, I live with a sense of participation in changing reality in the truest sense of the word. And this is also a wonderful feeling that moves me forward productively, positively, constructively. I understand why I live on this earth. I have the app, I'm a happy person.
I am very glad that there are people who only have to mention a problem, and they already run to the hospital, come up with something, and involve their friends. They are very different, these people. Among them there are those who have serious capital. And there are very poor people, but also ready to help. They donate a hundred or a thousand rubles to the fund, donate blood for free or help as volunteers. But the main thing in helping is sincerity, selflessness, this is something eternal and unshakable.
Help the Gift of Life FoundationJune 1 - Children's Day - is an informal holiday. Filled with real deeds and meanings. From what or from whom should children be protected? From illness, poverty, drunkenness of parents, arbitrariness on the part of the police and in general from everyone who does not consider a child a human being until he reaches adulthood. Children are an absolute value. And if every adult and responsible person undertakes to solve these problems together with charitable foundations, then the next generation of Russians will be much happier than today. Everyone can help. Because help is not only money, but also knowledge and skills, and volunteer hands. The most important thing is to decide and do it! Together we can do more!
Help the Children's Hearts FoundationMany of us have probably thought about why the world works the way it does. Why, for example, do innocent children end up in orphanages? I do not know the answer to this question. But I know that each of us has the power to change injustice and help those who need help.
The Change One Life Foundation helps orphans find families, since it is in a family, and not in an orphanage, that every child should live. Over the 5 years of the foundation’s work, the largest database of video profiles of orphans in Russia has been created, containing more than 30,000 video stories. Every third child from the base has found his new family. Now 11,000 boys and girls live at home with their parents.
These 5 years were very eventful; truly revolutionary changes took place in the field of family placement for orphans. I believe that we as a society can solve the problem of orphanhood. Slowly but surely we are moving towards realizing the simple truth that children are a privilege, and accepting a child into a family is not an act of self-sacrifice, but a natural way of having a child.
Together we can truly change children's lives for the better!
Help the “Change One Life” FoundationOne day, a nine-month-old girl was brought to the hospital and taken from her mother. She was put in a box alone. There are people walking behind the glass, she calls out to them, but no one is allowed to go there because of the quarantine. The girl cried for an hour, holding onto the crib with dead fingers. There was horror in her eyes. I'm sure this stays with the children forever. This fear and loneliness.
At first we thought that the main thing was to provide financial assistance to orphans in hospitals. Then they started hiring nannies in hospitals. Then - look for adoptive parents. And only then did the realization come that these children had blood families. Today our foundation works in four areas. We help the child stay in his family. We accompany foster families. We support those children who are still hostage to orphanages. We are trying to change public attitudes, retrain staff of government organizations, and help colleagues master technologies to help children.
Help the Volunteers to Help Orphans FoundationAny charity is impossible without its components - you need a team ready to understand what is required to solve the problem, you need specialists, doctors, psychologists, lawyers ready to help foundations, but most importantly - you need the help of donors, without whom this whole colossus will not be able to move forward places. There are no countries in which funds do not operate, even if these countries have a much more advanced system of social support than the one that can be counted on in Russia, there is still no country that could cover the interests of all people.
In Russia, the charitable sector provides enormous support to people. Funds form a new reality, the one in which in the foreground one can see an ordinary person who has had trouble. It would probably be correct to say that the main task of any fund is to organize its work in such a way, to influence the system in such a way that the work of the fund is simply not necessary. Unfortunately, we are still far from this main task, and therefore we ask you to help us help. Help help the funds, you are the last hope of a person in trouble.
Help the Galchonok FoundationThe weakest and most vulnerable patients in today's medicine are terminally ill children. They are often called “invisible” patients because they are deprived of quality care. They may be in intensive care or at home, they cannot go outside, they cannot go to school. But if you help them, find the necessary medical equipment, the right wheelchair, or just build a ramp at the entrance - their childhood can be different - a little more joyful, full of impressions, next to their parents, brothers, sisters, friends.
Help the Vera FoundationHelping people is not a profession. This is our common life. Kirill, Lilya and five hundred other children with whom the Children's Hospice works live nearby - on the same street, and sometimes in the same house. Any of us can have a child who will be terminally ill. If we are people, then it is our responsibility not to leave each other in trouble. Especially if time is short and every day counts. Especially when we are talking about the weakest and most defenseless in this world - terminally ill children. Children's hospice is a story about each of us.
Help the children's hospice "House with a Lighthouse"We say thank you to everyone who cares about children.
