On December 7, 1988 Gyumri, the second largest city in Armenia was hit by a thunderous earthquake. It only lasted 20 seconds, but the emotional/physical aftershock is still being felt by the children and their families to this day, 30 years after. Spirits are still broken.
How is that possible, in this day and age?
The cold season is once again upon them, many still live within the ruble of the destruction. No windows or doors to keep them safe from the harsh weather. Snow will soon be falling and children will begin to huddle with warmed up bricks on the stove to keep them warm at nights.
Let’s make this year different for these children and their families who have lost hope and have stopped dreaming.
Together we CAN. Here is how your donations will help us directly impact their lives:
We are going to personally go to Gyumri in late November to help provide 10 families:
Everyday necessities such as firewood to keep warm;
Blankets and warm clothing
Food
Toys
And relocation of the children and their families to a safe living environment is our bigger goal.
Every donor will receive updates on our Giving Process as you are part of this journey with us. We know that Gyumri is not the only city in the world who’s children and families are suffering.
There are many countries/cities around the world who are in the same if not the worst condition. But with your help, we are starting in Gyumri and moving to other cities, one by one.
The current work of the foundation, Passions & Dreams Funding will continue in the Los Angeles area, Our mission is to go global….. ONLY you can help us determine how far we can help make a difference. How many children”s dreams we can help reignite. How many lives we can build?
