Report

People without a home, documents, or registration often cannot get medical care, so they are forced to endure pain and sometimes even die on the streets from diseases that could have been treated and prevented.

The Charity Hospital Foundation has a "Mobile Clinic" project. Six days a week doctors, social workers and volunteers go out to the streets of St. Petersburg in a converted medical van and help people in distress: the homeless, the poor and the elderly. They bandage their wounds, give them glasses and medications, treat exacerbations of chronic diseases, vaccinate them and test them for socially significant infections. They also help them get their papers back, get them into a shelter, and even reclaim their own lost homes!

The project needed funds for bandages, medications, and tests for dangerous infections, as well as funds to pay the doctors and coordinators of the Mobile Clinic themselves.

Thank you to everyone who helped us! The supplies we bought allow us to bandage wounds, test for socially significant infections, inform people about their health status, and vaccinate people - which means protecting not only them, but society as a whole through immunization.

Thank you for your support!

About the campaign

Homeless people need qualified medical assistance!

People without a home, documents and registration often cannot receive medical care, are forced to endure pain and, at times, die from diseases that can be cured and prevented.

Three years ago, the Charitable Hospital and Kinonia Club launched the Mobile Clinic project. Six days a week, in a converted medical van, doctors, social workers and volunteers travel to the streets of St. Petersburg and provide assistance to people in need: the homeless, the poor and the elderly. We bandage wounds and issue glasses and medicines, treat exacerbations of chronic diseases, vaccinate and test our patients for socially significant infections. We also help to restore documents, get a job in a shelter and even return their own lost housing.

In order for the project to continue to provide uninterrupted assistance to people who find themselves in difficult life circumstances and who are unable to receive qualified medical care on their own, it needs funds for bandages, medicines, tests for dangerous infections, as well as funds for the salaries of the doctors themselves and the coordinators of the Mobile Clinic.

Support the project with us, because every "person should not be cold, hungry and sick"!
