The end of the journey - USD 9,018 for the Children's Hospice in Tbilisi!

Update posted by Kristina Skupien

It has been a while since our last post and we wanted to present you with a final update on our fundraising activities.

We were quite pleased to have managed to collect additional funds by the end of last year which even included a donor from the Georgian diaspora in New York. Our final amount has reached USD 4,509 which is way above our initial target of USD 3,500. These funds have been transferred and well received by the hospice in January. As communicated previously, the EBRD has agreed to double this amount and it is currently processing the transfer. So in total, the hospice is going to receive USD 9,018 from our fundraising and it is extremely grateful for that.

In the meantime, the hospice had its official opening of its new facility and is now fully operational. You can see some pictures of the opening if you follow the link below. The opening was quite a large event with TV broadcasts and many people from politics and business attending it (including the First Lady of Georgia). Quality and design of the building are of high standards and we hope that this is a valuable contribution to the children that now will be able to use the services there.

Our fundraising was only possible thanks to a joint effort and your great support. It has been an amazing couple of months and we were overwhelmed to see the amount of support that we have received from so many different people from around the world. On this fundraising page alone, we reached more than 70 donors spanning from Mongolia, over Europe to the United States. In addition, we received many offline contributions which we have posted here as well. Again, we would really like to say a big thank you to each of you, you guys have been amazing!

Our journey ends here but for those of you who would like to continue supporting the hospice, you can do it directly. The building is now funded but ongoing operations and maintenance will remain a challenge. You can make donations online on their webpage (www.childrenshospice.org.ge). If you have any questions, just drop us a line, we will be more than happy to answer them.

All the best,

K & S
