Norfa Cares Project Aids 12 Families in May, Increases Funding

The "Norfai rūpi" (Norfa Cares) project, a joint initiative by the news portal Delfi and the retail chain "Norfa," continues to offer crucial financial support to families facing unexpected challenges. In May alone, the project assisted 12 families, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to alleviating hardship.

"Norfa" has increased its monthly contribution to the project to 30,000 euros, with a dedicated commission carefully selecting recipients based on their demonstrated need. This increased funding allows the project to extend its reach and provide more substantial assistance to those struggling.

Life can be unpredictable – sometimes challenges strike unexpectedly, and sometimes they creep in quietly. In such moments, it is especially important to know that you are not alone.

Among the recipients in May was Aldona, who lives in a town with only cold running water and lacks basic amenities like a functioning toilet, shower, or washing machine. Her previous investment in a local sewage system failed, and she has been unable to resolve the issue for over a year. The "Norfai rūpi" commission has committed to providing Aldona with support to improve her housing conditions.

I live in a town and have only cold water, no other conveniences: I cannot use the toilet, shower, or washing machine. And it has been like this for a year and a half. I invested funds in the local sewage system because it is impossible to connect to the city's wastewater network, but that sewage system broke down after a year and no one is helping to solve the breakdown issue.

Another recipient is the family of Ana, a young girl born prematurely who faces numerous health problems. This year, Ana was diagnosed with the rare genetic DDX3X disease and cerebral palsy. Despite the devastating diagnoses, her parents are actively seeking effective therapies to ensure their daughter's future independence. The project provided support for Ana's rehabilitation.

Twelve-year-old saxophonist Gabrielius, whose talent has been recognized by European educators and the Mstislav Rostropovich Foundation, also received assistance. Music is more than a hobby for Gabrielius; it's a dream he is dedicated to pursuing through intensive rehearsals, masterclasses, and competitions. His mother applied for support to fund his musical endeavors, and the foundation granted it.

On stage, I am happy.
