Help Children Affected by Floods and Fires

Dear friends,

Thanks to your generous support, we have been able to reach children in some of the most vulnerable communities in Serbia this summer. Your donations are more than just numbers, they are notebooks in a child’s hands, safe nights, and the quiet reassurance that someone cares.

In the village of Batocina, four siblings are facing life with courage: Sladjan (8th grade), Sladjana (6th grade), Andrej (3rd grade), and little Jovana who is only four years old. Their parents, living in a remote village, are struggling, as their mother is battling illness. To attend school, Sladjan and Sladjana travel nearly 50 kilometers from home and stay in a dormitory during the week, while Andrej goes to school in Planinica, about 28 kilometers away. Despite the distance, they are all doing well in school, a testament to their strength and determination. For them, every pen, every notebook, every book is a symbol of hope.

In the Tekija area near Kladovo, families have faced devastating wildfires, severe droughts, and even the loss of entire flocks of goats to wolves. For children growing up in these conditions, the support you have provided means stability and comfort in an uncertain world.

In the dormitory of Brza Palanka, children who live away from their families for schooling found encouragement and support because of you. Your kindness helps them not only survive but also thrive, dream, and believe in a safer tomorrow.

Every story is different, but they all have one thing in common, your generosity has made them brighter.

On behalf of all the children and families you have touched, thank you. You are helping us rebuild childhoods where hardship tried to take them away.

With gratitude,
The Pomoc deci Team

Dear friends,

some wounds take a long time to heal, and some never do.

Ten years have passed since devastating floods struck parts of Serbia, washing away not only homes and belongings but also people’s sense of safety and stability. For many families, life has never truly returned to what it was. Despite the support received over the years, their needs remain deep and real.

Among them is a mother from Ljubovija whose strength has carried her through unimaginable loss. Eleven years ago, she lost her husband and was left to raise two children alone. We’ve supported her family for years, especially her son, a bright student with big dreams. Tragically, he was diagnosed with brain cancer and passed away last year.

Now, she and her teenage daughter, a first-year high school student, are alone. Together, they carry the weight of losing a son, a brother, and the home they once had. Because when the floods came, they lost everything.

Their grief is quiet but enormous. Their struggle is daily and invisible to many. But to us, and to you, it matters deeply.

This is why your support means the world. It allows us to help families like theirs not just survive, but find a sense of dignity again. We provide school supplies, clothes, emotional support, and most importantly, a reminder that they are not forgotten.

We will continue to gather donations with full heart and dedication. These families deserve a future worthy of their resilience.

Thank you for standing by them, and by us.

With gratitude,
Pomoc deci team
