The Christmas basket campaign has ended: gifts for children, smiles for the elderly.
Time flies by, and there are only few days left until the magical New Year’s Eve. But before we dive into the festive bustle, we want to pause and remember everything we have accomplished together. This winter month was full of warmth, kindness, and miracles that we created together. We sincerely thank everyone who contributed to the Cake Day and helped create a Christmas fairy tale for children, families, the elderly, and welfare centers. Your warmth and care have warmed many hearts. Thank you for being with us!
This year we visited no less than 40 lonely elderly people living in the remote Kaunas and Varėna areas, we set a festive table together and spent cozy moments listening to how they live. It is incredibly sad that most of them celebrate the holidays alone, so it was so good to hug and be together.
This year we visited families living in Rietavas who are currently facing difficulties. We brought large Christmas baskets with treats for everyone, and kids received various games, sweets and gifts from our foundation’s Santa Claus. In total we visited fifteen families and thirty-three children growing up in these families.
This year we fulfilled the dreams of more than 150 children who were waiting for a miracle. Together with our beloved friends and partners of the foundation, we fulfilled the dreams of children visiting the Old Town Children’s Day Center in Kaunas, where many children from Ukraine also spend their free time, as well as the Children’s Day Center Dienvidis in Klaipėda, the Child Welfare and Care Center, Šilutė district, the Varėna Social Service Center, and also the dreams of mothers and their children who have found shelter in the Kaunas Generations Home came true.
How touching and good it was to see the shining eyes of children, their wide smiles, after receiving the gifts they had dreamed of for so long. After all, how important it is to believe and wait for a Miracle, despite all the twists and turns of life.
THANKS to all of you for spreading GOODNESS! THANK YOU for the fairy tale created for children, for the smiles of parents and the warm and clear eyes of lonely elderly people. We thank all the friends of our foundation and wish all families happy holidays; we hope next year will be easier.
