The scale of destruction caused by the October flood was overwhelming. Even now, many residents are in desperate need of assistance. There are people who, even in January, are still living without heating or electricity. Although many organizations have stepped in to help the flood victims, we are overjoyed that the support from kind-hearted people hasn’t waned – even though the flood is no longer making headlines as it did 3-4 months ago.
We are in constant contact with the incredible leaders of the Snow Mountain Community Foundation, who have been tirelessly assisting those in need since day one of the flood. They organize the delivery of supplies to the most affected areas. Together, we’ve worked to identify the real needs of children impacted by the flood, ensuring that the support we provide is both meaningful and effective. The photo shows our meeting with volunteers in the Kodzko Valley, where we connected with the leaders of the Snow Mountain CF.
So far, we haven’t spent the funds raised through GlobalGiving because, together with the CF’s leaders, we decided to wait until spring to purchase new shoes for the children for the upcoming season. However, we now know we won’t reach our original goal of funding 500 care packages for children. As of now, we’ve raised $245, and we’re setting a new goal: to collect $1,000 by Easter. With this, we hope to support 20 young flood victims by providing them with brand-new spring shoes.
Will you help us make this happen?
Here’s what you can do to support the children:
- Donate $15 or more.
- Share our appeal with your friends and family.

Every dollar counts – thank you for your generosity!
