An entrepreneur from Novosibirsk, Maxim Plotnikov, helps those Siberians who are in trouble. But he does not collect money, but unites those who need help with those who are ready to provide it. Pravmir will write about this and other good news.

Maxim has always helped people. Previously, he transferred money to foundations and charitable organizations, but over time he realized that he would like to support others also in a targeted manner.

At first, he just didn’t know how to do it. So he came up with a social media community called Holy Deed. This is not a foundation or charitable organization. The project involves volunteers who want to help people.

Our mission is to connect people who need help and those who want to help someone. Someone is ready to give money, but not ready to personally participate. Someone cannot help financially, but will gladly buy food or help in the house. These people need to be united,” Maxim explained to the Novosibirsk Online portal.

The idea was supported by many of the businessman’s acquaintances, although there were those who said that the task was too difficult.

Volunteers help in a variety of situations: they buy and bring food, provide legal assistance, and help people find jobs.

The organizer emphasizes that the project is not engaged in fundraising, but provides assistance to those who really need it.

Now you can hide in your “prosperous world” and not know that someone has troubles in their life. Or you can get pleasure and genuine emotions from knowing that you did a good deed,” Maxim Plotnikov said.

Samara bakery helps children with cerebral palsy

A bakery in Samara called Krayukha has launched a sale called Kind Bun in order to help the Above the Rainbow educational center for children with cerebral palsy.

In November the company will transfer part of its earnings to the account of the center. The school for special children needs renovation. The bakery owners offered to help the center, according to the school’s director, Ekaterina Akintseva.

Since the building of our center is currently being renovated, the easiest option was to ask them to buy us some building materials. But we decided that it would be better to hold a sale so that people will know about us and become interested in our work. Therefore, thanks to the bakery, posters with information about the sale are hanging everywhere, and its salespeople tell clients about us,” Akintseva said to the ASI.

After the renovation and re-equipment, the school premises will be adapted to the needs of children with cerebral palsy.

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
