Report

Sasha Rumyantsev used to live in an orphanage and was a ward of the organization Perspectives. But in the spring of 2021 he moved into his own apartment and began living a fully active life. So that Sasha could feel his independence, Perspektivy arranged for him to work as a craftsman in a pottery workshop that is placed by people with disabilities who live at the boarding school.

Now Sasha communicates easily with people, he communicates well with his neighbors at home, and he has met and made new friends.

Thanks to your donations we were able to pay in full for Sasha's 5 months of work in the pottery studio and in part for the salary of the fundraising manager.

Sasha continues to work actively in the pottery studio and does a great job: he prepares unfired broken and broken pottery, dry and old clay for work, makes the main mass of the clay forms and items for further decoration of the items by other visitors of the studio, assists in firing the pottery, takes part in cleaning of the studio. In addition, Alexander helps the wards of the organization who are placing classes in the studio without volunteers and need more support.

Alexander also created his own creative works, which he plans to present at an exhibition in the Borey gallery in the future.

About the campaign

Fundraising for Sasha's salary!

Sasha has spent his entire life in the orphanage system: first it was an orphanage in Pavlovsk, then a psychoneurological boarding school in Sosnovaya Polyana, and then a state penitentiary institution No. 3 in Peterhof. Thanks to the appearance of the ceramics workshop at this institution in 2008, the charitable organization "Perspectives", the young man found his vocation - he became a ceramist. At first Sasha just came to lessons, like all mentees of the organization, but since 2011 Alexander officially became an assistant master-teacher, and from morning till night he is at his workplace.

In March 2021 another dream of Sasha came true - he finally moved from the psychoneurological boarding school to his own apartment, which he was entitled to from the state, but only few people manage to get it. The opportunity to live at home and do something that brings in income is an unattainable dream for children with severe disabilities who once went to a boarding school. Hundreds of people will never be able to get out of the closed institutions, most of them will never be able to live independently. But Sasha has succeeded thanks to the support of caring people.

So that Sasha's dreams can continue to come true, we are collecting 100,000 rubles to pay for his work in a ceramics workshop. This sum will help to pay for six months of Sasha's work in the studio. Sasha, as an official employee, gets a salary, and it is formed from donations. With this money he supports himself and his independent life in his apartment.
