Warm clothes delivered: help for the elderly in 15 regions

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. To provide 7500 pensioners with warm clothes this season, we will prepare more than 37 tons of clothes and shoes for them. For this purpose, every day we collect things through the containers installed in the city, after that we deliver them to the Foundation's Sorting Center and manually look through each thing. In order for an elderly person to have all the things they need, we sort about 2 tons of clothes every day. The loaders bring the bags with clothes to the sorting tables, distribute the things for storage and load the cars in which we deliver parcels of warm pants, hats, shoes and, of course, outerwear to the regions. We're asking you to help us pay for the movers. Although their work is not often noticed, without them not a single sweater would reach its destination. Help us make sure that warm clothes reach those who need them most this winter.
