A collection for the salary of a social worker who helps Dasha and other families in crisis

Dasha always said that her greatest treasure was her children: she's only 25 years old, and already a mother of four. But one day, the young mother couldn't cope alone, and seeing the children in danger, child protection authorities decided to remove them, and the children ended up in an orphanage.

A social worker from the "Children Are Ours" foundation came to the rescue: together with a lawyer, they secured temporary placement for the children in a foster family instead of an orphanage. They also developed a plan for Dasha to navigate the difficult situation so that child protection authorities would allow the children to return to their mother. The foundation also purchased food, clothes, and household appliances to improve their living conditions. Ultimately, through joint efforts, Dasha and the social worker were able to create a new, thriving scenario—and the children returned home.

This collection will allow us to pay for one month of work for a social worker, who simultaneously supports 12 families in crisis. Thanks in large part to the social worker's work, the children in these families are now able to live at home with their families, rather than in an orphanage.
