The collection of funds is over

The chairman of the Mother Right Foundation Veronika Marchenko has been helping the soldiers' mothers for twenty -five years. I have been with Veronika Alexandrovna about fifteen years. Over the years, I had a persistent feeling - in our entire warring country, the fallen soldiers need her and the employees of her fund. And if tomorrow they cease to deal with this topic, then no one will deal with it anymore.

For a year, on average, from five to seven thousand people, are addressed. For twenty years, the fund helped about 80 thousand mothers of the dead troops. Only the dead.

"For twenty years, the fund helped about 80 thousand mothers of the dead military personnel"

Think about it - eighty thousand dead soldiers.

Stories here, of course ... Mother is a disabled stroller, cannot go, the son burned down in a tank in Grozny, the body was not found, the missing, the mother of the deceased soldier does not receive a pension for him for eighteen years. And the pension is one thousand two hundred rubles. Forty dollars.

About five years ago, the Public Chamber distributed grants for socially oriented NGOs in the President-Hotel. In the Kremlin hall. Gold and marble, all things. Chaired by Vladimir Potanin. The “mother’s right” was not called there.

They came themselves. Foundation spokesman Anna Kashirtseva and the volunteer of the Foundation Mikhail Selivanov. Misha - with orders. He fought in the Maykop brigade. When the remnants of the brigade left the railway station, he did not have enough space in the car in the car, and he went from the city on foot. He went out into the central park, where the paratroopers were already standing. And he remained alive. The brigade commander was burned. The brigade brigade was finished off in the head.

And Misha received the “courage” for the fact that he kept the bridge over the oil industry for several days with a machine gun, together with a comrade.

Misha goes to the airport with a magnet - because instead of a knee he has a prosthesis from a titanium alloy, and in order to immediately remove all the issues on the framework, he simply takes out the magnet and sticks it to his leg. His right ear does not hear, and the nasal partition is pierced by a fragment. So he went to Potanin. For money for lawyers who help the mothers of our fallen soldiers to knock out forty dollars a month from this state for their disability.

“So he went to Potanin. For money for lawyers who help the mothers of our fallen soldiers to knock out forty dollars a month from this state for their disability. "

Vladimir Olegovich turned out to be affordable. The veteran of Selivanov approached the billionaire Potanin and handed the leaflet with a request for help.

It was then that the feeling of reality has left me. The world has broken down, the measurements disappeared, everything became bending and smooth, time slowed down and turned into jelly. Everything was spinning in the golden waltz of the absurd, and in the middle of the sparkling luxury of charity, the mise-en-scenes froze in black contrast-the veteran of Selivanov, ringing the oil industry not needed by anyone, the billionaire Potanin, holding out the sheet-question ...

Behind the grinder.

The “mother’s right” had one source of financing - grants. The fund cannot collect membership dues by law, commercial activity is impossible for ethical reasons. Previously, the fund existed on donations from foreign grantors. Now this, of course, is almost impossible.

Russia, for all the time, has not highlighted a penny.

Veronika Marchenko was awarded the gold sign “Public Recognition” and the Prize of the Institute “Open Society” - “For asceticism”. From the hands of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the first Lady Michelle Obama Veronika Alexandrovna received an honorary award “For Women's Courage”. In the rating of the NPO, held in 2004 by the magazine "Career", the Foundation "Mother's Right" took fourth place.

For his work, Veronika Marchenko does not receive a penny. Lawyers and employees receive a minimum fee three to four times lower than earnings in similar positions in commercial firms. All this is done on asceticism. Pure water of asceticism.

“Lawyers and employees receive a minimum fee three to four times lower than earnings in similar positions in commercial firms”

For twenty years.

At the same time, the fund of the fund is about 75% of the vessels won.

Can you imagine?

The fund, where everyone works almost free, is not for themselves - for others, wins two -thirds of the vessels. Where else is there such effectiveness?

Someday, I am sure, the “mother’s right” will receive the Nobel Prize of the world. Otherwise, it simply cannot be. Such asceticism is so effective! - I just don't know asceticism.

But for now ... Well, in general, it is clear that for now.

So far, you need money.

On envelopes. For business trips. To lawyers. To pay for the premises. For payment of communication. On paper. By mail. For the minimum salary to employees. For everything.

Our past is our future.

The country that throws its fallen soldiers is not worthy of existence.
