Dear friends,
first of all, we fulfill our promise and share Zaporuka Foundation annual report with you. Please, see the attachment to find out what we did together in 2016 to help seriously ill kids.
With your support our Dacha’s doors are open in 2017 too. From January to March 54 families got free accommodation at the Center.
Families who stay at the Dacha become really close. They do household chores and have meals together sitting at a big dining table. They worry about each other and take care of each other. When some family’s child is in an operating room, all people at the Dacha keep their fingers crossed.
At the Dacha, we always have a certain family that unites all the other families like glue. Now this role is played by little Alisa’s dad Andriy. He is a nice man who always has something to do. He takes care not only of his daughter but of all the Dacha people. In the morning he prepares delicious healthy breakfast for Alisa, then makes a fresh lunch for her and… bakes a sweet cake for all Dacha kids and parents! And Dacha moms write all his recipes in their cooking notebooks. In the evening, when the house is already asleep, Andriy goes to clean a common bathroom because he wants it to be safe and comfortable for everyone. And that’s not all! Behind the house there is a small piece of land where usually just the grass grew. Thanks to Andriy useful herbs for cooking are growing there now. Besides, we have a playground with a sandpit in the yard. After winter it was dirty and with peeled off paint, so it was not good for kids to play there. Again Andriy took the lead and with others parents of the Dacha cleaned the yard and painted the playground equipment. Now kids can play safely outdoors.
Every day when we come to the Dacha we see that the house for these families is not just a place where they can spend the night for free but a true home. They do repairs here and try to improve something not only for themselves but also for the families who will come after them. And they are really grateful for everybody whose contributions make their Dacha possible. Thank you!
