Despite the shelling and the associated power outages, October turned out to be a fairly productive month in our work.
We raised money to fulfill 26 requests for help, and the vast majority of them were on dobro.ua
That is, 26 of our little friends are receiving medical devices or medicines that are so important to them. Is this a lot or not enough? It's hard to say. From the point of view of the entire country, it's nothing. And from the point of view of one mother of a child who received help, it's a lot.
But there is something else that inspires us to continue working. The total amount that we receive for providing help is growing every month. We are almost 2 times higher than our result from a year ago! The SVOYM fund project is gaining momentum every month. More than a third of all funds raised in October are the result of SVOYM's work. That is, thanks to the involvement of communities, we are receiving significant additional opportunities. And so far, we have attracted a little more than 30 communities that have joined the project. Type a query in Google and you will see that there are 1439 communities in Ukraine. Let's calculate how many years we need to use the full potential of the project? Even if we add 20 communities every month, it will take more than 6 years. Only the first cycle of the project is more than 6 years! But the project is not being done to use the community's capabilities once. In each rural community, there are at least a few children with diabetes, and in urban communities we cannot count at all.
So, where the end of this work is - it is difficult to imagine.
Instead of counting and imagining, we look ahead and add new breaths, new ideas and development options to the project. A new fundraising initiative from our team is already at the start. There are many hopes for its success, but we will not announce what it is yet. The time will come.
So, once again, we inform the parents of children with diabetes who seek help.
- Do not neglect the capabilities of your community.
- Get involved in the SVOYM project and take your place in the community of those with whom we will work for years.
- Instead of waiting months for the publication of your request and then waiting for the collection - stand by, help us and provide your child with the necessary with our participation.
- Now we are forming a community that is able to help itself. It is up to you to decide whether you are with us.
