Community "Eurika" invites both companies and individuals to take part in our annual charity campaign by purchasing charity greeting cards to help children in intensive care. Children from whole Latvia have drawn these greeting cards in hope of helping children who have to spend their days in intensive care. For the money we earn from selling the greeting cards we buy medical equipment and donate it to children’s hospitals. The equipment, which is used to treat children in intensive care on a daily basis, improves the quality of treatment that children receive and reduces suffering and pain. Thanks to the charity campaign we have already bought respiratory equipment and mattresses for children in coma, feeding equipment, vital blood cell monitoring equipment, as well as equipment necessary for doing complex medical procedures, portable anaesthesia and pain relief equipment and many more for the total sum of EUR 85 000. We invite You to participate in our charity campaign and purchase Eurika greeting cards! Here-->
Iveta Kivleniece raises 5 children - Lāsma (12), Līga (11), Beāte Beatrise (7), Matīss (3) and Raivis (1.5 months old). Iveta is divorced and takes care of her children alone. Iveta lost her job in autumn last year and now the family’s only income is family benefit from the state, disability benefit and alimony for the eldest children. The total monthly income per family member is 40 lats and 6 santims (EUR 57). The eldest children sleep together in one bed, while their mother and baby brother sleep on a small sofa. The help that Iveta gets from other people is extremely important and it’s often the only way for them to survive. Alla Karpušenko’s family. Alla is a young mother with two small children. Alla’s parents are dead, therefore she has to take care of her children alone. They don’t have their own house they could live in. Alla’s total monthly income is 42 lats. She is very nice and helpful. Alla could work if she didn’t have to sit at home with her children. Alla is eager to continue her studies, but it’s not possible since there is nobody who could babysit.
