Director of the “Help” Foundation Anna Semenova - that it is necessary to help not only those we regret

We help the old light collected 560 947 r we need 600,000 r

The collection of funds is over

When I came to work in the “Help” Foundation in September 2014, this fee was on the site for five months. By that time, 27 and a half thousand rubles were collected.

And now I am not retired, and we almost collected the right amount.

We have been collecting 600 thousand rubles for more than two years. We will collect the remaining 49 thousand a couple of months, so there is time to choose a project project. Because, of course, we do not plan to quit the topic only because it is still incomprehensible to people. Actually, the whole idea of ​​the Foundation “needs help” and the “such things” portal is to talk about social problems that need to be solved, which can be solved, but which society has not yet conceived.

We wrote about the center "Old Light" 13 texts. They released the video. And even poems in their support.

It is impossible to count all the work done completely in any way

Here I want to insert a remark. The center "Old Light" is still helped. On our site, 1826 people made donations in their favor. So it’s impossible to count all the work done completely. Maybe these people themselves were faced with the same misfortune, maybe they were convinced by our words, or maybe they are just very kind and cordial people.

Don't know. In any case, I want to say a lot of thanks to them.

So, two months to collect 49 thousand, this is a very long time. But two months, to find a new case on the topic of assistance to people with addiction, this is very little, believe me. After all, we need to find a working and effective project so that readers and donors do not have the slightest doubt about the need and importance of such assistance, in the fact that their money will be expended honestly and with maximum benefit.

Have you seen who helps dependent? Most often these are small, strange organizations. Or organizations uniting former alcoholics and drug addicts (and we all know from American films that there are no former alcoholics and drug addicts). Or the organizations of mothers who could or could not save their children from alcoholism or drug addiction. Or religious organizations - those who are “supposed to help everyone who needs help.

These organizations usually can be called very conditionally: the main thing for them is survival and help with the last forces. What are the reporting and transparency, growth and development. And their activities are desperately balancing between the help and use of free labor of the wards - but how to survive, if there are practically no donations, and you need to feed and provide housing.

So we get a vicious circle - we must help, but there is no money for it

So we get a vicious circle - we need to help, but there is no money for it. There is no money, so it is not possible to help well and correctly, which means that I do not want to maintain money with money.

Here, perhaps, there should be a thoughtful conclusion that will put everything on the shelves and give answers to all questions. But he will not be. Because there are no answers. There are only questions: how to write about addiction so that people want to help? How to help those projects that work with addicts, grow and develop? How to find such projects and check that they really do what is most useful?

Let's go look for answers. We still have 49 thousand and about two months in stock ...
