Thanks to the support of users of the Tooba charity platform, Anna and her son Vova were able to overcome the crisis, move and start an independent life. While participating in the crisis placement program, Anna received psychological support, the family was provided with food, essential goods and household goods, they helped to apply for the necessary benefits and arrange for her son Vova to undergo rehabilitation. Anna actively participated in the events of the SOS Children's Village and even taught other families how to cook. It turned out that Anna has a talent for cooking. "I didn't know that there are so many kind and sympathetic people in the world. When my son and I were placed in the Children's Village, I thought that they were watching me on hidden cameras to take my child away from me, because he is the most precious thing I have," Anna recalls. "Now my son and I live in a rented apartment, Vova goes to kindergarten, we have just enough money, but soon I will get a job. And if I encounter difficulties, I will know where to turn, where they will listen to me, support me and tell me how to cope with the situation." Thank you for helping to pay for two months of work of the head of the temporary accommodation program for biological families with children by making donations in the Tooba mobile app. In the 4th quarter of 2024, the temporary accommodation service was provided to 5 families raising 9 children. The program continues to work to help families with children cope with difficulties.

About the campaign

Anna's family and other families in crisis need your help!

After a difficult divorce from her husband, Anna and her four-year-old son Vova were left without money and without housing. Anna did not have a job, and her son did not attend kindergarten. To make some money, Anna sold her long hair. This was enough for only one month of payment for a room in the apartment. In order not to be left on the street and not to lose her parental rights, the woman turned to the SOS Children's Villages charity organization for help.

Now Anna and Vova live in the temporary accommodation house of the SOS Children's Village. Specialists of the charitable organization help Anna to apply for the necessary benefits for free and arrange for Vova to go to kindergarten so that Anna can find a job, and in the future, housing. Support will continue until Anna begins to cope on her own.

The program of temporary accommodation of birth families with children, which is implemented by the charitable organization "SOS Children's Villages", helps families with children to cope with difficulties and prevent the separation of children from parents, avoiding the deprivation of parental rights and the end of children in residential institutions. In the temporary accommodation home, families receive psychological support, help with food, clothes and other necessary things. It is a place where families can feel safe and supported. Up to five families with children can live here at the same time.

At the moment, 5 families with 9 children receive support from the specialists of the charitable organization. In order for SOS Children's Villages to be able to continuously provide the necessary assistance and support not only to Anna and son Vova, but also to many other families who have faced difficulties, we need your help. Support the work of the charity and help prevent children from ending up in residential institutions.
