BACKPACK OF HOPE
2026-01-15
After the death of her husband, in August 2025, Lena came to Šiauliai from the Zhytomyr region, fleeing from constant fear, looking for a safe place for herself and her son.
It is not easy to find words that could comfort a woman who has lost a loved one and is forced to run away from her native home as far as the eye can see... How many trials can a single mother endure?
Lena immediately registered at the Labor Exchange and started looking for an opportunity to earn a living. Unfortunately, it is not easy to find.
Renting an apartment and rising heating bills became a huge burden. How to choose which is more important: warmth or food on the table? Is there even a small hope of giving the child the joy of having a new backpack and other essentials?
In this common story, Malva and Swedbank have given hope back. Thank you to the bank that paid the apartment fees, gave the child a backpack that means so much to him...
Can we remain indifferent when we know that people around us are going through such hard times in this age of prosperity?
Who else will need a helping hand, who will be next to need help?
We continue to tell about difficult stories to remind you that we can all help in one way or another and give a glimmer of hope to those who live much worse than us...
A. de Saint-Exupéry said: "Where it is difficult, man begins."
