How to collect help for Crimea in Moscow

At the entrance to the assistance point for the victims in Krymsk on Mira Prospekt Mount Paktov. There are pink and yellow bags, checkered bags and huge 30-liter black bags. On some notes: “New Women's suit, size 44”, sweaters stick out of others. A mountain of things is crowned by a baby stroller.

Volunteers from the Youth Public Council under the CAO Prefecture only 12 people. For two days, more than one and a half thousand people came to them. Some return several times. Volunteers are so busy that they even refuse hot donuts. All things are divided into four categories: products, clothes, personal hygiene items and medicines. Goods are brought approximately equally. Volunteers are sitting in three different rooms and talking in a walkie -talkie. They laugh when they are brought in heels or sunglasses. Recently they brought hair varnish. There was also a pink theatrical handbag with sparkles.

After sorting, the goods are loaded in the Gazelle. It was originally planned that all volunteers (in Moscow at once, they are engaged in the collection of humps for the victims in Krymsk) will bring the goods to one pavilion, from where everyone will take the trucks and aircraft of the Ministry of Emergencies. However, according to the chairman of the council Vadim Kovalev, it is not yet possible to agree with the Ministry of Emergencies. But several companies engaged in cargo transportation appeared, which offered their help for free. By 15:00 on July 9, according to Kovalev, four loaded Gazelle have already gone to Krymsk. The reception point will work until July 11.

People come here of any age and prosperity. Grandmothers come with checkered baskets on wheels, carry faded blankets. A lady with a bright pink lipstick brought clothes. The brunette in the sunglasses on the Audi brought a box with the inscription "Toilet accessories". Two men in shabby shirts threw a cry at work, and colleagues threw themselves on diapers. One man came with cheese. They wanted to refuse him, they say, a perishable product, but he was so upset that the cheese was accepted. The rosy tenth grader Sasha Lavochkina came with her mother, and then remained to help the volunteers. 58-year-old Olga Vyacheslavovna with a sick tooth acts as a donor for the first time. The debut, according to her, is not connected with the fact that she had made it, but with the fact that she learned about the reception points for the first time.

On the bench are sitting six Tajik wipers. First, they watched the turmoil with curiosity, and then they connected themselves. Five wipers helped to load the Gazelle, and the sixth made sure that the homeless cat did not run under the wheels.

Alexey, looking 30 years old, came to give a TV and a sofa. But the volunteers only shook their heads. Alexey was at first upset, but then he said that he would take the sofa and TV to the Vorobyovs Gory (there they also collect things for the victims in Crimean): “I will come to the Vorobyovy mountains and I will shout:“ Take it! Call Shoigu! "I explain that Shoigu in a new post beyond the Moscow region will not take his sofa." So fires will begin, and my sofa will come in handy in the Moscow region, "Alexey retorts gloomily.
