With football for families in need

Brina je deklica. Bom rekla prav posebna deklica. Šteje že 12 let. Ona je tista, ki našo družino uči razumevanja, potrpežljivosti, enakosti, volje in veselja do življenja.

A letter from the parents of the girl Brina:

Brina is a girl. I will say a very special girl. It has been 12 years. She is the one who teaches our family understanding, patience, equality, will and joy for life. Brina has been a fighter since birth. Due to premature birth, she suffered severe respiratory distress resulting in cerebral palsy. Which means that all the body's self-evident functions we know are disabled for her. Walking, standing up, lifting, falling, balance, stability... She had an operation in the USA about 7 years ago, so that one day she will be able to be independent in her own frame. After this intervention, Brina, in addition to school, persistently performs the prescribed exercises every day, which are absolutely necessary to maintain her current condition after the intervention with therapies, otherwise this multi-year effort would have been in vain. Next year in March, Brina will have a check-up in the USA with therapies that are absolutely necessary for her. Unfortunately, Slovenian healthcare does not cover the costs of treatment abroad. In Slovenia, healthcare only covers two therapies per month, which is absolutely not enough for children with such a disability. That's why we take her to private therapies, which are not cheap. Brina did not feel her body before she was seven years old. Today, however, with the discipline on which we are building and which will build her to become solid as a rock, she perseveres, she is sure of herself and at the same time she feels that she is no different from the others. Brina is learning to walk and with a lot of patience and will she is slowly succeeding. In her sense, these are small steps, but they are movements. And that's important. With his stubbornness, will, persistence, he is not in a wheelchair today. He walks with canes, which is a huge success for our family. She is just a little away from taking independent steps.

We put a lot of effort into Brina and we have no regrets. We survive on minimal income, as Brina is our priority. Unfortunately, in our country, children with special needs are not well taken care of. We fight for her rights every day because we want to enable her to live a quality and independent life. We have to expose ourselves to the public, because the state did not help us with Brina's additional therapies. Many times we have to give up our desires, dreams and also joint trips. When Brina grows up, we wish her independence from all of us or foreign aid, because like other children, they deserve a quality life. We want her to learn independently about her life ahead of her and do things like other healthy children.
Your help would mean a lot to Brina. I would turn on the light for her healing and a better future.

How can you help her?
Teenager Brina has undergone 3 operations in the USA and is well on her way to walking independently, but she still has a lot of intensive therapy ahead of her, but these are not cheap, as our health insurance covers only a small part. This year, we started collecting again for therapies, examination and accessories at Dr. Park and for regular private therapy in Slovenia. I realize that it will be very difficult to do in the current situation prevailing in the country, but the feeling that you are not alone gives a sense of security and courage that pushes the limits of the impossible.

Help the girl Brina as much as you can and allow her to grow up to be a strong and independent person 🙏 Thank you ❤️

 Help the girl Brina take her first independent steps

Poplave so ljudem povzročile ogromno škode, ki jo bodo sami težko sanirali, še posebej socialno ogroženi posamezniki in družine, ki že pred tem dogodkom niso imele veliko sredstev za svoje preživetje in preživetje svojih otrok, sedaj pa se spopadajo še z večjo stisko. Poplave so jim razdejale še nekaj tistega, kar so imeli - njihova domovanja.


As the initiator of the campaign to collect funds for the installation of an outdoor elevator for a family with a child with cerebral palsy, whom I met in kindergarten last year, I am turning to you, dear donors, with a request for a donation.

In a family of four, there is a 6-year-old boy, Adrijan, with cerebral palsy of the 5th degree - this is the highest level, so the boy needs constant care - care. Adrijan spends the day in a special wheelchair or lying on a bed.

The amount of the purchase and installation of the elevator is around 35,000 euros, I believe that we will collect this amount with our combined efforts within three years. It is already very difficult for parents to carry the child up the stairs, and over the years this will become impossible, which is why the elevator is so necessary. They want the child to grow up in a family and not be sent to a home, so they arranged day care for him in an institution, and at the same time, the boy's father and mother arranged shift work. Since the family has a lot of expenses with therapy, I want to help them by raising funds for the elevator. Therapies performed in such children do not improve the condition, but they allow the child to breathe more normally and reduce the tightness of the muscles and chest - as a result, the child can breathe easier and sleep with fewer problems. Such children are not assigned any regular therapy, all therapies are self-paying. The family has extraordinary expenses with treatment and other care, so the purchase of an elevator represents an incredible financial burden, but it is absolutely necessary. Adrijan has a sister, Ema, for whom no one wants to feel any deprivation. As far as I have managed to get to know the family and Adrijan to date, such a child does not sleep even after 60 hours together, but on the other hand, he can sleep completely unresponsive for a while. He is fed through a straw, but later due to his growth, he will be fed through a tube.

All of us parents are very happy if our children are healthy. When you meet a family that has a child with disabilities, you realize what that really means. I have set myself the goal of helping the family raise funds and make their impossible wish come true by building an elevator to access the 1st floor.

As it is a large amount, I am asking for your help.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️


A message from the boy's father Adrijan:
"Adrijan is getting heavier and heavier, so it's getting harder and harder for me to carry him up the stairs. My partner, Marina, is practically no longer able to carry him up the stairs, because she's afraid that both of us will fall, so an elevator would give us easier access to the upper part of the house where we live. Because this is a very big financial burden for us considering all the other costs we have with the therapies for Adrijan, we are turning to you, other people, to help us so that we can bring Adrijan to the upper floor normally and without worries and vice versa."

In our association, we constantly collect funds for the users of the SO-POTNIK anti-eviction program, the primary purpose of which is preventive anti-eviction and is implemented mostly in the field and flexible in terms of content.
The program is primarily intended for tenants of non-profit municipal housing, people transitioning from homelessness, and others who are at risk of losing their place of residence. It also offers help in creating the conditions for a safe home, which includes help in furnishing the apartment, support in arranging the home, help in establishing good relations with neighbors and counseling. The program is strongly focused on the individual, so in terms of psychosocial support we also offer support for mental health problems and other social hardships, help in contacting institutions (health care, social services, municipality, administrative unit...), support in connecting with other external actors ( associations, non-governmental organizations, institutes...).
More about the program at: http://drustvohisa.velenje.si/sopotnik.html

Please help us to the best of your ability. 
Thank you.

Društvo SOS telefon za ženske in otroke – žrtve nasilja je nevladna, neprofitna in humanitarna organizacija, ki deluje v javnem interesu na področju socialnega varstva ter na področju enakosti med ženskami in moškimi.

SOS Telephone for Women and Children - Victims of Violence is a non-governmental, non-profit and humanitarian organisation that has been working since 1989 in the public interest in the field of social protection and equal opportunities for women and men.


Its mission is to offer protection and support to people, especially women and children, who experience violence, and to educate and raise public awareness about zero tolerance to violence.


We achieve this mission through informing, psychosocial support and protection of women and children victims of violence, through training and education for professionals and the general public, through innovative campaigns, through building partnerships that influence the legislative framework, and by putting the issue of gender-based violence on the agenda as real, relevant, urgent and important for all.

Because our work never ends.



With this project you will support the work of our Shelters or Safe Houses. A shelter or safe house is a safe place where women and their children can retreat from violence. With the support of counsellors, they can rebuild their lives.

The funds would be used to buy new mattresses, blankets, sheets and pillows for the Shelters or Safe Houses.

WOMEN'S STORIES:


I am 55 years old, retired on disability. I am a mother of two children, my daughter is a minor and lives with her father, my son is of age and already has his own family. I am also a grandmother. Life has not been easy, I have looked for love, I have received violence. The hard life made me sick with nerves, I couldn't work anymore. I gathered courage and sought help. Now I live in a safe house, they help me, but I am also trying. I want to get my daughter back, I want to find us a flat, but most of all I want a peaceful life, free from violence. I know that I will succeed.


I am a teenager, living in a safe house with my mother and younger brother. I go to school. We are here because we did not do well at home. My dad got in trouble, my mum got in trouble most of the time, and sometimes I got in trouble. He didn't let me go out to have friends, just school and home. It was hard for me, I wanted to go away, luckily I managed to convince my mother too. Not everything is ideal here either, there are many of us, we are different. But it's better than home and I know that we will soon be on our own. I have no contact with my father, and I don't want to for once. Maybe after a while.


He left me outside the locked door of our flat because I didn't answer his phone in time. I was at work in the afternoon and I had a client, so I couldn't report. I had to spend the night in my car. I am here now because I can't do it any more.


When he hit me in front of my daughter, he said to her; see, your mother deserved it!

Help on the way out of violence

We all want a little pampering and sweet pleasures from time to time. Unfortunately, many families cannot afford this – not only desserts, but also basic necessities of life.
That is why at LEONE, we have joined forces with Truhoma and Ana's Star for the second year in a row and prepared the charity campaign Give with a Heart. 

After the success of last year's campaign, we decided to not only repeat it this year, but also extend it – so it will last from April to September. Our goal is to make this initiative an annual tradition of helping families in need.

During this period, for every purchase of LEONE ice cream tub, 0.10€ will be donated to families facing daily challenges and financial hardship. This year, we will help 15 families from all over Slovenia and, with our support, at least slightly ease the burden of costs and worries.

You too can become a part of this heartfelt story – in a simple and sweet way! All you have to do is enjoy your favorite LEONE ice cream tub and contribute to a better life for those in need.
Every donation is 100% transparent, traceable and entirely intended for families in need.

Families shared their stories and the difficult trials they experience every day with us. With their permission, we present them below. Every contribution means a lot to them. 

Thank you for helping to create a better world!

Family stories

Family from Krško
"I am a single mother of an 8-year-old daughter who is in the 2nd grade. We are surviving on social assistance and child benefits. I have psychological and gynecological issues that prevent me from getting a job. I am still waiting for a decision from the disability commission. My bills amount to around 500€, and basic necessities in the store are getting more expensive every day. My daughter goes to school and always needs something; there are many things that need to be bought, and I simply can't manage anymore. I sincerely ask for any form of help. Thank you."

Family from Ajdovščina
"We are a family of four. My husband is the only one employed in the family. We have two sons, aged 6 and 9. One of our sons has autism, while the other has ADHD. Due to their diagnoses and the care they require, I am unable to get a job. We are in debt and are asking for your help."

Family from Kočevje
"We are a family of four with two young children who attend kindergarten. I have been unemployed for 2 years, but I am actively seeking a job, as is my partner. My partner has diabetes, and both children have been prone to bronchitis since birth. From the social assistance we live on, very little money is left. We have been behind on rent and utility payments for some time. We kindly ask for your help."

Family from Obrov
"I am a single mother of two minor children. Due to a severe illness, I was retired on disability. With the loans I took out earlier, I simply can no longer support my family without my children constantly feeling the strain. I also have two adult daughters who live independently in rented apartments. They are barely making ends meet and cannot help me. I truly try to live very modestly, but I am running out of money for both food and bills. I need your help, in any form. Thank you."

Family from Poljčane
"I am a single mother of a 20-year-old daughter who is still in school. I am employed part-time for 4 hours, and the other 4 hours I am retired on disability. I have many health issues, and this month I am facing my third shoulder surgery, which will consequently affect my income, as I will be on sick leave until the end of the year. I kindly ask for your help."

Family from Maribor
"We are a family of four. The only source of income for our family is social assistance, which makes it very difficult for us to get through the month. As we run out of money at the end of the month, we borrow money and are consequently in considerable debt. My disabilities are due to borderline personality disorder and ADHD. Both my husband and I have been in psychiatric treatment for many years due to mental health issues. My husband struggles with generalized and social anxiety and depression, which are the reasons for his long-term unemployment. We have two school-aged children, aged 7 and 9. I kindly ask for your help."

Family from Golnik
"I am a single mother of three children, two of whom are school-aged. For a year now, we have been in a difficult situation due to a sexual violence case, which affects all members of our single-parent family. We live in a rented apartment for which I pay around 700€ monthly. My son has serious health issues that currently prevent me from working. He has cysts in his brain, resulting in severe migraines. I do not receive child support regularly. I simply cannot make it through the month, as I spend a lot of money on various dietary supplements and vitamins, which are out-of-pocket expenses but are necessary for my son, as well as on transportation to specialists. I thank you in advance for your help."

Family from Ljutomer
"We are a family of three. I have hip and spine issues and am asthmatic. My wife has a severe form of epilepsy and has been on medication for many years. Our daughter is 8 years old and has asthma and health issues related to bowel movements, so she needs special pads and other hygiene products. Both of us are unemployed, and it is difficult to survive on social assistance. We kindly ask for your help."

Family from Šmartno ob Paki
"We are a family of four. My partner is employed and receives a minimum wage, while I am currently on maternity leave. I have two children, a preschooler and a baby. My son in preschool needs assistance. We spend a lot of money on specialized formula and essential items for our two small children. Please help us, thank you."

Family from Celje
"I am a single mother with two children. We live in a rented apartment, and I am only working part-time because I haven't found a full-time job due to the lack of childcare. Due to violence in my previous relationship and the consequences it left, I am being treated with antidepressants. I wish I could provide a better life for my children and occasionally give them some treats. I am asking for help."

Family from Murska Sobota
"I am a mother of four children. I have lost my job and my roof over my head. My partner and I have separated, and I had to leave the home into which I had invested all my assets. I was literally thrown out of the house with my children. Now I live in a rented apartment for which I pay 500€ monthly, plus housing costs of 200-300€. I have no money left for food and other bills. I have two children from a previous marriage who live with me, and for the other two children, my ex-partner and I share custody. I am on the brink of despair and am asking for your help."

Family from Ljubljana
"We are a family of four, consisting of myself and my three school-aged daughters. Since January 1, 2024, I have been unemployed and, due to asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and severe anxiety, I have been referred to vocational rehabilitation, where they will help me find suitable employment based on my health condition. Due to the debts I have, I cannot get through the month, and it is really hard for me. It is difficult knowing that I am solely responsible for everything. The children's father has placed the upbringing and care of the children solely on me and is not involved in their lives. We have moved five times since 2016. I have put all my savings into the security deposit when moving in, so I borrowed money for the last two apartments to furnish them. Both were completely empty. I cannot earn us a decent living; from the income I have, only 250€ remains each month. In the last week to 10 days before the next payment, we are completely out of money. Our refrigerator is also failing, and a lot of food has already spoiled. I have never asked for help before, but now I know that I really need it. I do not want to give up on everything; I truly want to make things work so we can finally live a peaceful life, dressed, without debts, and without fear of what we will eat tomorrow when we wake up. I simply cannot manage anymore..."

Family from Izola
"I am a single mother to a 5-year-old daughter. In November 2023, I lost my job while living in a rented apartment. I have custody of my daughter, but the father has filed for joint custody. The court process is still ongoing. Since I do not have childcare for my daughter in the afternoon, I am looking for a job where I could work in the morning, but my employment counselor and I have not found one yet. The apartment we moved into was nearly empty, and I have slowly managed to gather used furniture online. I was receiving 700€ in compensation, but now I no longer qualify for that. I am struggling a lot and ask for your help."

Family from Tržič
"I am a single mother of a 10-year-old son who has special needs. He suffered two strokes—one at birth and another at two months. He does not speak and needs assistance with daily tasks; he has significant motor difficulties. He experiences epileptic seizures. We live in a rented place, I am unemployed, and I receive compensation for lost income. My son needs physical therapy, but unfortunately, the cost is too high, and I cannot afford it. I have rent debt and am paying off a car loan, as my previous car burned. I had to buy another one because I drive my son to school every day and often to appointments. I can't even afford a trip for him, and it really hurts me that he is deprived of that as well."

Family from Trbovlje
"We are a family of four. Our sons are 17 and 19 years old and both attend high school. My husband and I are both employed. I receive a minimum wage, but now I have been on sick leave for a longer period due to kidney disease, which has pushed us deeper into debt. My husband runs a sole proprietorship and deals with apartment renovations. He has very high blood pressure and often cannot go to work because of it, which also affects our income. Every month is a struggle for survival, and we kindly ask for your help. Thank you in advance."

<a href="https://www.ok-crnuce.si//" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Volleyball club Črnuče</a> is aware that sports activity is essential for children. It brings them joy, belonging and confidence, while helping them to develop their motor and social skills. As families face increasing financial hardship, the costs associated with training are a major financial challenge.

To help young volleyball players from socially disadvantaged backgrounds, we have partnered with Truhoma to support them in their sport activities. For some of the children, this sport may be the realisation of their sporting dreams. To this end, we invite you to join us in this initiative and help with a donation. Your contribution will go entirely towards paying for membership fees, training, equipment and other volleyball related costs. All donations can be tracked from the payment itself until the funds are spent through the Donation Tracker, a tool that Truhoma uses to provide 100% transparency.


We invite you to join this charity gesture and, with your donation, ease the burden for parents and give children the opportunity to grow up in a playful, fun and healthy way through sports activities.


Thank you. 💚

I am contacting your club with a request for a scholarship or any help in my further study of music abroad
Aleksander Simionov (22) began his musical journey playing percussion at the Domžale music school. He continued at the Ljubljana Conservatory of Music and Ballet, with prof. Jože Bogolin. And for the last three years, he has been a student at the Academy of Music in Ljubljana with prof. Simon Klavžar. After successfully passing the entrance exams, he will now continue his studies at the internationally recognized University of Music, Hochschule fur Musik und Theater München. Where he will be able to study percussion with professors from Europe's leading symphony orchestras.

"We are members of the Rotary Club of Ljubljana Julija, united for a good cause! We are a women's club that carries out its charity campaigns primarily for children, families and women.

 

Together with Porodnišnica Ljubljana, we undertook the renovation of the waiting room in department F, which is intended for sick or endangered pregnant women. The waiting room is located in front of the clinics for tests that are carried out when there is a suspicion that something is wrong with the fetus and in this waiting room women and partners wait, who often receive tragic news. We ask you to donate funds to our charity project, which will contribute to better health care for pregnant women at risk.

 

The current environment in the waiting room is dysfunctional and unfriendly and only increases the distress of those who visit the waiting room. Together with Porodnišnica Ljubljana, we want to at least alleviate the plight of parents who are faced with uncertainty and fear in a vulnerable period with a warm and functional environment.

 

The environment is a key element of better health care, but unfortunately this segment is often overlooked in our healthcare, as it does not have adequate systemic financial support and is left to donations and the work of volunteers. That's why every donated euro counts, no donation is too small or insignificant. We will use the funds to renovate the floor, paint and decorate the walls, and buy furniture."

Dobrodelna organizacija za pomoč ljudem v stiski. 

In El Salvador, <a href="https://www.pwc.com/gx/en/financial-services/pdf/el-salvadors-law-a-meaningful-test-for-bitcoin.pdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">70% of the population remains unbanked or underbanked</a>, limiting their access to financial tools and opportunities. This challenge, compounded by daily struggles like inadequate housing, limited education, and insufficient access to essentials, calls for innovative solutions. With Bitcoin as legal tender in El Salvador and the NAKA Card, we’re creating a lifeline for families in dire need of support.

NAKA, Truhoma & FUSAI launched a heartfelt initiative to support families in need. For every contribution, 100% goes directly to providing essential support for vulnerable families in El Salvador. All contributions are 100% transparent and traceable from the beginning to the end.

Together, we aim to assist 10 families, offering sustainable aid to ease their burdens and bring hope during challenging times. Furthermore, we want this to be a continuous effort to bring at least some sort of financial relief to the families in need. That’s why this initiative is our first test pilot out of three. We are planning a scale project in the Q1 of 2025. Stay tuned for more updates on this note.

The families are going through true hardship, and we’ve got their permission to share their stories with you:


Meet the Families We're Supporting

Carmen, Family of 3
Carmen lives in Cantón San Alfonso with her husband and their 10-year-old son. The family resides in a house constructed from metal sheets, which lacks basic services and is in poor condition, further highlighting their precarious living situation. Her husband is the sole breadwinner, working as a temporary construction assistant with an unstable weekly income of $30 to $40, amounting to approximately $400 per month. This income falls significantly short of the $531.93 required for the monthly cost of a basic food basket for a family of three in rural areas. Despite her husband's efforts, their financial situation leaves them unable to break free from this ongoing hardship.

Dora, Family of 3
Dora lives with her partner, David, and her 10-year-old stepson in Cantón San Alfonso. Their home is in poor condition, constructed with precarious materials, and lacks consistent access to potable water—Dora relies on a nearby river for washing dishes and clothes. David works as an informal construction assistant, earning between $240 and $280 per month. This income is insufficient to meet the family’s needs, as the monthly cost of a basic food basket for three people is $531.93. Without savings or additional income, the family faces persistent monetary poverty and social vulnerability.

Wendy, Family of 4
Wendy lives in Cantón San Alfonso with her partner and two young children. Their home, made of mixed materials, lacks potable water, forcing the family to rely on external sources. Both Wendy and her partner work informally, earning a combined income of $240 to $320 monthly, which is far below the $600 required to cover basic nutritional needs for a family of four. The family’s limited education and informal work leave them trapped in a cycle of extreme poverty and social vulnerability.

Luz, Family of 4
Luz lives with her husband and two minor children in a rented home in Cantón San Alfonso. The house, made with mixed materials, costs $50 per month and has limited access to basic services. Her husband’s seasonal work earns the family $120 to $200 monthly, leaving them unable to cover their $531.93 food costs or other essential expenses. This income instability, combined with poor housing conditions, places the family in severe monetary poverty and vulnerability.

Deysi, Family of 4
Deysi lives in Cantón San Alfonso with her husband and two daughters. Her husband earns $200 to $240 per month working sporadically as a construction assistant. Although the family’s home is stable and has basic services, their income falls drastically short of the $600 needed for basic food. This dependence on a single, inconsistent income keeps the family in a state of poverty and financial insecurity.

Doris, Family of 4
Doris and her family live in a donated home in the Río Mar community. While the house has electricity, it lacks other essential services, and the materials used are precarious. Her husband works as a plumbing assistant, earning under $400 monthly—far below the $600 required to feed their family of four. Without savings or additional income, the family lives in extreme poverty and social vulnerability, struggling to meet basic needs.
