The charity fund “Second Breath” donates clothes to grandparents, warm clothes in winter, especially jackets and shoes. This year more than 7500 elderly people in 15 regions are waiting for our help. Many elderly people, even the most active and social in their younger years, find themselves in a situation where they are no longer able to cope with their difficulties on their own. According to Rosstat data for 2022, 26.3% of pensioners' families cannot afford to buy clothes.
Without warm clothes and shoes, lonely pensioners remain locked in their own homes, risking their health and ceasing to live a full life. Thanks to your help, they will be able to go grocery shopping or to the clinic, go to the city or just visit friends.
We collect clothes, sort them and send them to people. To provide 7500 pensioners with warm clothes this season, we will prepare 40 tons of clothes and shoes for them. Our trucks will make more than 25 trips to different destinations.
But you know what it won't be possible without? Bags and zip ties. In order for these clothes to get to their destination, they need to be packed, loaded from car to car, protected from dirt and water. So we are asking you to help us purchase bags, ties, and stretch wrap. So that the warm clothes will arrive safely to those who need them most this winter.
