We are the Joy in Giving Association, an independent non‑governmental organization from Bucharest. I founded it after a few years of humanitarian volunteering, so we can help more and in a more organized way. Our motto is: “From this life we leave only our deeds.”
So far we have distributed over 105,000 meals, over 51 tons of food, over 58 tons of clothing and footwear, and over 6 tons of hygiene products. Through the School of Joy we support 300 children at school, and through Adopt a Family we stay close to families with many children and very low incomes.
Many of these families live in one or two rooms, sometimes with a roof that leaks. For about 50 of them, the only source of heat at home is firewood, and most have small children. Without firewood, they spend winter in the cold.
One ton of firewood now costs about 750 lei. This page raises money for one ton of wood for each of the 50 families.
For each family that receives wood we post photos and video of the delivery, with children’s faces not recognizable, and we also share them on the association’s Facebook page. That way you see where every euro goes.
Any amount helps: 150 lei already covers a good part of a ton. If you can’t donate, please share the page.
