In Irkutsk, as in many other cities, there are people who struggle to afford the bare essentials: elderly people living alone, large families, and individuals with disabilities. Many are forced to choose between buying food, purchasing medication, and paying bills. We launched a fundraising campaign with Tooba to support these families and individuals facing a crisis.
Thanks to your support, we were able to purchase food supplies: grains, pasta, flour, cooking oil, canned goods, tea, sugar, and sweets. Volunteers assembled comprehensive food packages—weighing about 10 kg each—and delivered them directly to the foundation’s beneficiaries. Such a supply is enough to last a large family several weeks, and an elderly person living alone a full month.
For those forced to count every ruble, a food package is like a breath of fresh air. Now, parents can use the money they saved for their children, while the elderly can spend it on medication. They have gained a moment of relief from the constant anxiety about the future.
Thank you, dear Tooba users, for not standing idly by and for helping those in need! Together, we can achieve so much more!
