Good to defeat

Why have the Internet-breeders quarreled

Every day on Facebook, dozens of posts are published with a request to sacrifice for the treatment of a friend, the draft of the charity fund, or the fund that helps other funds. There is no difference between these requests for an ordinary donor. However, employees of charitable foundations traditionally believe that from direct donations to those in need more harm than good. In recent days, the conflict between funds that help people systematically, and those who prefer to sacrifice directly, have become aggravated again. It got to the point that the head of the “Help.org” Foundation Anton Nosik accused the writer Alexander Garros, which was sick of cancer of cancer of buying a car and an apartment donated to him. "Medusa" explains what the essence of the problem is.

Funds against private fees

The discussion began even before the writer Alexander Garros became its participant, and even before he found out that he had cancer. A month ago, the head of the “Help.org” Foundation Anton Nosik wrote a post in his “Live Journal” about why it is impossible to donate money to personal accounts of a sick or his relative. The nose described a standard case: a person was diagnosed with a person, he went to be treated to Israel, he needs a lot of money. The point is not that this person is a fraudster, wrote a nose, although there are many of them, but that this is an “opaque gathering”, which means no one knows how many funds were raised, and where they went, because no one ever publishes reports on such training camps.

“In fact,” writes Anton Nosik, “the heirs of the deceased either assign this money without a way to return it to donors, or - more often - simply forget to enter into the rights of the inheritance, and the money remains hanging on a noehole in the bank.”

The position of the nose was then supported by almost all fixed assets, since this problem is well known in the world of charity. “You should not collect [money for those in need of private]. Alas, this is so. Any reservations eventually lead to the fact that we will indulge the development of fraud. Alas. Professional people should deal with professional help. You should not collect money for personal accounts, ”said Mitya Aleshkovsky, head of the“ help ”fund.

Private activists against funds

The post of Nosik caused a response of people who collect money for their friends and acquaintances. In particular, the restaurateur Varvara Turova reacted , who often searches for money for treatment for different people through his Facebook: “We can help someone, participating in something wrong, or we can not help anyone and wait until the wrong thing, while we have cool and rich funds for the treatment of adults, while the state begins to take care Those who fundamentally do not want to transfer money (and have the right, of course) write to me. ”

The television critic Arina Borodina, who also seeks help for helping through her facebook, agreed with Turova: “There are people who want to help only pointwise and even ask them not to mention them. <...> And it's not about honesty or dishonesty. And as a result. Misfortune becomes less. ”

At the end of September 2015, this topic was devoted to the air of the Rain TV channel, where the nose, Aleshkovsky and an employee of the Russian Assistance Fund Valery Panyushkin, argued about how to sacrifice money on the Internet. The audience came to the conclusion that private activists, albeit good ones, are harmful to the common cause.

A nose against Garros

Soon after that post of Anton Nosik, writer Anna Starobinets announced on Facebook that her husband, writer Alexander Garros was discovered by the esophagus cancer. Having reported that there are no details yet, but the treatment will be clearly needed for treatment, Starobinets proposed transferring funds to personal accounts. Calls about help were published by the media - "Poster. Gorod." When the Rainbow Foundation joined the training camp, Andrei Loshak supported him on the Echo-Moskva website.

Anton Nosik in response resumed a crusade against private fees, hinting at the next post that cars and apartments are buying from direct donations. Then the nose devoted a separate entry to Alexander Garros, noting that the writer, who undertook to help the Foundation “Give Life”, nevertheless, continues to accept donations from “guys from the first dozens of Russian“ Forbes ”.” The Give Life Foundation, meanwhile, did not help Garros, the fund employees simply consulted him about German doctors.

The decisive battle unfolded last weekend in the comments on the next record of Anna Starobinets. Anton Nosik, in particular, wrote : “I expect that if you decide to compete for the truth, then you will honestly call the name of the person who gave money for the operation. <...> And where all the other money went, they donated. And they went, sorry, in your personal pocket, then you will buy an apartment on them and buy a car. ”

Anna Starobinets eventually published some documents, but the nose continued to blame her for lies and even offered to pay for the polygraph services to prove that Starobinets knew who helps her husband. By morning, Anton Nosik erased part of the accusatory records and even - in some way - apologized .

Everything is against the nose

Despite the fact that the idea of ​​the dangers of private fees is close to most employees of almost all charitable foundations, no one supported Anton Nosik in the last dispute of Anton, and the Starobinets, on the contrary, settled the “Give Life”, Katerina Gordeeva, the coordinator of the Advita Foundation Lena Gracheva and many others. Journalist Anton Krasovsky summed up the argument at Starobinets: “I don’t know if anyone had made more funds to the idea of ​​the idea than Anton Borisovich more recently.”
