Dear Friends,
Disinterested help, true compassion and love are a powerful basis of the charity all over the world. We are happy that the attitude towards charity in Russia turns to the better and wish the positive dynamics were kept on further. Our mission is to demonstrate to the audience that to help is really so easy!
All activities of our Foundation are targeted at helping children with disabilities in treatment and rehabilitation. It is not a secret that rehabilitation requires serious work and involvement of doctors, parents and huge courage of little patients. Any, even, as it might seem, little help from each of you is an invaluable contribution to support children under care from our Foundation. Due to your help, the children will get hope for happy and full life, could get education, make friends with age-mates, travel and be more confident in their future.
We do appreciate each of you! Thanking you for being with us!
POSITIONING
«What is the difference how to call such people?», you may ask. However, the difference is huge, indeed! It is in approach, in attitude of physically and mentally healthy people towards the disabled ones. And people with disabilities are full members of society, they just need more support.
No one points a finger at a person in a wheelchair in European countries or in the USA. The fact is that children with special needs study at the same schools as their healthy age-mates.
We believe that integration of people with disabilities into society should be started from early childhood.
We create additional opportunities for children with special needs. The opportunity to become happy and live a full life. The opportunity to get comfortable conditions in all spheres — education, rest, transportation along the city or attendance of popular events. The opportunity to be easily integrated into society, becoming an integral and equal part of it. Disability is not a sentence and not a cause to stay isolated! And to help such children is not just to feel sympathy, but also to feel compassion and empathy.
MISSION
Our key target is to ensure an overall assistance and support to children with disabilities and their family members in rehabilitation, social adaptation and integration into society.
We do want to attract the public attention towards problems of the children with disabilities and to change peoples’ attitude towards such children. We share amazing stories, which inspire children and their family members. Feel the world via the prism of kindness and happiness — and impossible is nothing!
VISION
We do believe that we will be able to change peoples’ mind and make them tolerant towards the disabled ones. We strive to teach people to help each other since it is so easy and honorable! We are confident that socially significant projects are the global trend and the symbiosis of business, charity organizations and society under the State support is the model, which suggests the win-win strategy, turning to the better the present and the future.
