From Russia (Saint-Peterburg)

We are immensely grateful to the Pristanište foundation and personally to Alyona who has been patiently helping us from the very beginning of our emigration from Russia — giving counsel and support at every stage along the way. We would also like to sincerely thank Natalya for helping us assimilate.For our family, Pristanište has become a beacon of hope: That somewhere out there there is someone willing to help you, that somewhere out there there are people like you, trying to find a place for themselves in a foreign country. They understand that you really need help during the very first days.And you are running from the country that used to be yours; but since February 24, 2022 it has become alien and disgusting. Now we all need to be kinder to each other, be grateful for someone else’s help and then to start helping others. It’s easier when you are not alone. And to organizations like Pristanište we wish to retain their kind and sensitive heart as embodied by those who run the fund.A good deed is never lost.
