“I believe in miracles”

The Church of St. Panteleimon the Healer and the International Charitable Fund “Children of the World” are conducting a charity drive called “I believe in miracles”. The aim of the action is to raise funds for the overhaul of the quarters provided for the Center for Infirm Children’s Support and Leisure Activities by the Regional Children’s Hospital of Kaliningrad.

Most of the little patients need long-term treatment. Far from their homes, families and friends they are under severe stress. The children’s recovery greatly depends on their emotional state. It is very important for a child in a difficult situation to experience positive emotions, to do his/her best to fight the disease and not to lose hope of recovery.

For these reasons, the Regional Children’s Hospital of Kaliningrad formed the Center for Support and Leisure Activities for Infirm Children, where children play, get involved in art therapy, music and creative work. It gives them a diversion from their hospital routine and helps them feel happy at least for some time. The activities in the Center are supervised by volunteers from among the parishioners of the hospital Church of St. Panteleimon.

Presently, the activities in the Center are carried out in the church where there are only 3 square meters available, which is definitely not enough to engage all the patients. The hospital has provided the Centre with space of 80 square meters, but this is in an emergency condition. It requires overhauling, at an estimated cost of 1.3 million rubles.

It will be very difficult to source such a lot of money as is required for the overhaul, but if each of us donates a small part of what is needed, it will work out with God’s help.

The International Charitable Fund “Children of the World” and the Church of St. Panteleimon call upon everybody who is not indifferent towards the fate of children to help organize fund-raising for the overhaul. Besides financial help, the Centre constantly needs paints, aquarelle paper, plasticine, glitter, foil, colored cardboard, other stationery and instruments for creative work as well as musical instruments.
