To be an employee of the foundation for me is to help those who need it, it is to give and receive positive and energy.

“At one time I was ill with an oncological disease. Then fund "Happy Child" helped me. My job here is a kind of gratitude.

For the past year we have been working on social taxi project. In Zaporozhye, seriously ill people, children with cancer, wheelchair users find it difficult to drive through the city from point A to point B. Drive from home to the hospital for examination, to Khortytsya or to the park for a walk, take a taxi to classes in your circle at the MazalTov center - very expensive. You need to spend several hundred hryvnias on the road. Now the social taxi project is at the final stage, we have already collected the necessary amount to buy a car. We plan to launch work within a month.

A similar project in our fund worked in 2013-2014. Then there were at least two applications a day. The car rolled 100-150 kilometers daily. Therefore, we are sure that the car will not stand idle.

“The families we help are really improving their living conditions every year. Therefore, we are trying to help as many people as possible"

The second area of my work assistance to low-income large families. Starting from collection of clothes and food, ending with the work of a courier, driver, etc. We help 60 families in need. The fund has limited financial resources, therefore, together with families, we draw up applications and collect among our donors what they need: clothes, shoes, food, toys, furniture, appliances. At the end of the month, we deliver the collected aid to families in a targeted manner - a full minibus.

I see that our work is really beneficial. We help people and see the result. The families we help have really improved living conditions every year. Therefore, we are trying to help as many people as possible. "
