Easter basket

For one of the greatest Christian holidays, Easter, the charitable foundation "Ty Anhel" is planning to visit the children who remained without parental care and the children with mental and physical disabilities. They live in boarding schools and they are happy to receive small gifts, Easter baskets. To realize the project we need to raise 9800UAH.

For all of us, the Holy Resurrection of our Lord is associated with the renewal of life and hope. That is why we are trying to prepare ourselves for the holiday: we cleanse our souls and bodies; we clean our houses and prepare Easter Baskets. We make sure to put the best foods in the baskets. Sometimes our baskets are full of the most delicious products, and sometimes it is just a modest loaf of Easter bread and Easter eggs.

Right next to us we have children for whom nobody will prepare the holiday. The children who remained without parental care from Ivano-Frankivsk shelter and Rogatyn boarding school are looking forward to Easter. They decorate Easter eggs, clean the yard and prepare their best outfits for the holiday. The government cannot designate money for Easter baskets for these children, and the institutions cannot afford to prepare Easter baskets themselves.

Every year these children as a big family attend the Easter liturgy at a local church. As the church bells are ringing and the church quire is singing, the baskets that parishioners brought are being blessed.
All the people are saying "Christ is risen!". It is important for the children who are offended by fate at such early age to feel the holiday and to bring back to the orphanage the blessed food for the Easter breakfast.

With joy and awe we are waiting for Easter. All 134 children from Ivano-Frankivsk shelter and Rogatyn boarding school are waiting for this holiday with the same feelings. Remember: the desire to share
with somebody else is one of the most precious gifts!
