During the holy month of Ramadan, we launched a fundraising campaign to support elderly people living alone, large families, and individuals with disabilities. They often lack the means for even the bare essentials; their money goes toward medication, utility bills, or rent. Almost nothing is left for groceries.
Thanks to you, the fundraiser reached its goal quickly. We used the donations to purchase and deliver 120 food packages to those in our care. Each package weighs about 10 kg and contains shelf-stable staples: grains, pasta, flour, cooking oil, canned goods, tea, sugar, and sweets.
This kind of help is especially vital for those who live alone and cannot make it to the store—people like Gambara Ziyatdinovna from Samara. She is 75 years old, has very poor eyesight, and struggles to walk; illness has left her bedridden. Her son rarely visits, and most of her pension goes toward medication. Neighbors used to help with groceries, but now that role is filled by the foundation and the people who responded to our appeal.
For people like her, a food package is much more than just food. It offers a moment of relief, saves precious energy, and provides the heartwarming feeling of knowing they haven't been forgotten or abandoned in their time of need.
Thank you, dear supporters, for your kindness and involvement! Together, we are giving those in need a sense of calm and confidence in the future.
