Christmas under the roof
Please donate to help families who have lost their roofs. Any funds you donate will be used directly to pay for housing.
The very first days of living on the streets have a devastating effect on an individual's personality, and families with children have it many times harder. Thanks to your donations, we will provide accommodation for families in shelters so that they can spend not only the Christmas holidays together.
One night of accommodation for a family costs CZK 300, so the proceeds from the collection will help around 50 families in need. It will allow them to stay for free for a month or two, during which time they will be able to breathe a sigh of relief and, with the help of experts, try to find longer-term housing, sort out their missing documents, social benefits and look for employment.
"Mothers with children come to the Asylum House with only a plastic bag containing all their belongings and no money. It often happens that even though a mum arranges for a benefit, for some reason it is not granted or is cut, so she incurs a debt for housing. With your help, the mother is able to overcome this situation."- Social Services Centre Ostrava
