Within the project "Relatives" organized by Warmed Heart and Moscow- based charity "Joyful aging" (https://starikam.org/) we intend to help elder people from Russia living on the edge of poverty, who are left alone and have nobody to take care of them. 

Our goal is to be able to provide them with regular financial help of at least £50 per month. Even this amount  can significantly improve their quality of life. Also, awareness of the fact that they can rely on the regular help gives them a strong psychological support.
