Our Team

Hello and welcome to our page!

Natalia Kuleshova and Victoria Salimova welcome you! On November 18, 2016, we founded the Hand for kids Children’s Foundation, but our charity work began long before that. For many years, we ourselves helped the children in need and also encouraged our relatives and friends to help. Doing charity day-by-day we quickly ran into the fact that the funds collected for children land in the pockets of people who do not fulfill their promises and obligations. As result, the idea was there to found our own foundation, which really and absolutely directs ABSOLUTELY ALL the received material and non-material aid to the needs of those for whom this foundation was created.

Since the official opening, 5 more people joined our foundation: Natalia Khalikova, Natalia Nalivaiko, Natalia Ostrovskaya, Natalya Panasyuk and Uliana Ashimova.

To whom do we help? Among the trustees of the foundation as of today are children with musculoskeletal disorders, cerebral palsy. You can ready about them in the section: Our Children. These children are badly in need of special orthopedic footwear. The fact is that the joints of a foot of such children are very unstable and delicate, so that special correctional shoes fix the footstep and hold it in the right position. The price of these shoes is higher than a standard shoe. Hand for kids helps the parents to buy this kind of shoes. Lena Chernysheva, Dima Igishev, Grisha Grechkin, Matvey Andreyev, Dima Denisov, Eva Dolgushina, Gleb Babiy use such footwear which was bought at the expenses of foundation.

Over the last few years several families in Petropavlovsk, in which children with disabilities are raised, have been under the patronage of kind people. Families receive the assistance that is currently needed: expensive drugs and rehabilitation for the child, treatment for his mother or a set of products. Of course, the most significant part of the charitable aid is sent to improve the condition of the disabled child. For example, Valery Muzhikova received a special wheelchair as a gift. Now she is happy to ride around in the apartment, which greatly facilitated the life of her mother and sister. But before that, Valeriya always spent in the seat-bag and was not mobile at all.

There are situations when medical assistance is needed not only for the child, but for the mother who cares for him. So, Anna Grechkina, was able to quickly pass the diagnosis in a private clinic in Omsk.

Hand for kids has many friends. We are known by many people who help regularly and frankly. For example, our friends purchased a full set of special food for weight gain for Grisha Grechkin. Also, once a month, our friends bring food packages to some families.

How do funds come and go?

We get help in different ways. You can transfer money to the Hand for kids account. Help in the form of grocery sets, clothes, furniture, etc. can be delivered directly to the needy. The allocation of funds in the foundation is performed very flexibly. Our main task is to help the family in which a child with disabilities grows.
