Not long ago, we shared the story of Ivan Gadalov — a participant in our supported living program and the creative mind behind a unique collection of chokers made in our foundation’s ecological workshop. At that time, we launched a fundraiser to support the workshop: to buy equipment and pay the salaries of our team, so that Ivan and others could continue to learn, create, and grow.

Thanks to your support, we raised the needed amount — and we've already purchased new equipment for working with fabric, accessories, and upcycled materials! The workshop is now not only more comfortable, but also full of new possibilities for creative projects. Ivan continues making his signature pieces, and several other participants have already started working on their own ideas.

Thank you for helping people with mental disabilities facing insurmountable challenges and a profound sense of loneliness. Many have spent their liv not just “stay busy,” but become real creators, artists, and makers. With you — so many great things are happening.

About the campaign

Fundraising for the work of an environmental workshop for people with disabilities

We want to share with you the inspiring story of Ivan Gadalov. For many years, Vanya lived in a closed institution, and recently he became a participant in our supported living program and now lives in an ordinary apartment.

Vanya quickly fell in love with the ecological workshop, where participants create various items from old, unused things. The workshop gave him the opportunity to self-actualize through creativity, and just recently, Vanya came up with and created an entire merchandise collection for the release of Anya Fyodorova's book "But It’s Not Exact!" The collection consists of stunning chokers. The chokers sold out quickly, and all the proceeds went towards the development of the ecological workshop, where other people with intellectual disabilities can also learn new skills, work with eco-friendly materials, and create amazing things.

Right now, we are raising funds to support the work of this very workshop - equipment, staff salaries. Help us continue! By making a donation, you will give Vanya and other participants the chance to continue their journey of development and self-actualization.
