Donate to Bring Joy to Orphaned Kids in Kazakhstan

Donation protected
Hi friends, my name is Sasha.

I grew up in an orphanage in Kazakhstan. Now I'm going back to visit. Some of my most powerful childhood memories aren't about toys or video games (we actually didn't have those, we had card games, haha, even as a 5 year old). But once in a while a sponsor came by and gave us something new, something of our own, like a pen, an apple, a banana, a chocolate bar, a backpack, a pair of tennis shoes. For me and the other kids, those small gifts were equivalent to getting a Nintendo - no joke! It was always the happiest most memorable day.

Help me bring some joy to these kids by  donating or sharing

There are 500 children there today. I’m starting with a goal of $3,000, but ultimately I hope to raise $7,500. That works out to about $20 per child — enough to buy each one a backpack and some fun school supplies (and if we can raise a little more, I’d love to provide coats and hats, since winter is coming. Giving each child their very own coat to be proud of would be a dream, something I wanted as a child growing up in the orphanage). 

I’ll be buying everything locally in Kazakhstan, this way I don’t have to fly with supplies, and the money also supports local shops. Every donation will go directly to the kids, and I’ll share photos and videos of the process on my Instagram and TikTok so you can see the joy your gift creates.

Your donation will bring a smile to a child’s face and make them feel like the happiest kid in the world, trust me! No worries if you can’t donate, but please share with someone who might want to help me bring some joy to these kids. 

If you donated and would like access to my private Instagram updates (@itissashafierce), please send me a message there saying “donated” and I’ll make sure to add you. If you don’t use Instagram, my TikTok (@itissashafierce) is public and you can follow along there.
