Still Here, Still Helping

By Kamila Jarzabek-Nowak | project team member

Dear Donors,

In the past months, we have been continuing our work with families affected by the floods — supporting them in everyday life, helping them rebuild, and simply being there where help is still needed.

Recently, we received a letter from one of the seniors we support in Radochów.
With her permission, we would like to share a part of it with you.

“I don’t know how to write letters like this, but I wanted to say thank you.

After the flood, I thought the worst part was over when the water went away. But it wasn’t. The worst part was what came after — the silence, the mess, and the feeling that I didn’t know where to start.

For a long time, I lived in just one room. The rest of the house didn’t feel like home anymore.

Then you started coming.

First with help, but later also just to sit for a moment. You brought things I needed, but also something I didn’t expect — calm.

Now I can cook in my kitchen again. I have my things in place. I even planted flowers in front of the house this week.

It still isn’t how it used to be. But it is mine again.

Thank you for not forgetting about us after everything was over.”

This letter reflects what the past months have truly been about.

Not emergency anymore, but patient, everyday support:
helping people organize their homes again,
supporting them in daily tasks,
and being present long after the crisis disappeared from the headlines.

Because recovery does not happen all at once.
It happens slowly — in small steps, in ordinary days, and often in quiet moments like this one.

Thank you for making this possible.
For staying with us — and with them — when it matters most.

With gratitude,
Clementine Foundation

Together After the Storm: Thank You

By Dawid Jarzabek-Nowak | CEO of Clementine Foundation

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Although much time has passed since the September 2024 floods, the residents of affected areas are still grappling with the aftermath of this tragedy. While the disaster may no longer dominate headlines, its impact continues to shape their daily lives. Your invaluable help has enabled us to remain by their side, offering assistance where it is still urgently needed.

Several more buildings have been cleaned and restored. Our dedicated volunteers worked on 18 additional structures, including family homes and workshops that are vital to the livelihoods of local craftsmen. Each restored building brings these communities one step closer to reclaiming normalcy in their daily lives.
We have also focused on supporting families in their everyday challenges. Over the past weeks, we have assisted more than 30 families with administrative formalities, provided food parcels and cleaning supplies, and organized transportation for the elderly and children. These essential actions help ease the burden on affected households and pave the way to recovery.

In Stójków, we supported a family in the most challenging circumstances. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we provided them with a voucher for a hardware store, enabling them to purchase the materials needed to repair their home. This act of support meant that the children in the family could return to their rooms and once again enjoy learning in safe and comfortable conditions.

Every act of kindness reminds us of the transformative power of unity. Together, we are not only rebuilding homes but also restoring hope for a better future. Thank you for every donation, every hour of volunteer work, and every bit of encouragement you have given.

With continuous gratitude,
Clementine Foundation's Team
