Kremennaya is a small city that has been living next to the front line for several years now.
The usual rhythm of life has long been gone here. Electricity and communications work intermittently, and there are difficulties with water and fuel.
For security reasons, public transport does not operate in Kremennaya, and there is no intercity bus service. In local shops one can buy only the most essential products.
Deliveries of food, medicines, and other goods are infrequent. Every trip outside the city connected with its supply involves serious risk. Entrepreneurs delivering food, medicines, and building materials are forced to overcome dangerous stretches of road.
But Kremennaya continues to live.
Shops are open in the city, and utility services are functioning. People go shopping, take care of their loved ones, and raise their children. They adapt to circumstances that are hard for most of us even to imagine.
It is especially hard for those left without work and a steady income. Finding a job in Kremennaya today is practically impossible, and moving to another city is simply beyond many people’s strength.
People here live on odd jobs and on what they manage to grow on their own household plots. It is hardest of all for single mothers and people of pre-retirement age.
In 2024 we already visited Kremennaya:
And quite recently we again received a request for help.
At the end of November we plan to deliver food packages for 350 families who continue to live in this city.
The packages will include the most essential products:
Sugar, vegetable oil, buckwheat, rice, pasta, tea, condensed milk, mayonnaise, and a few treats for the little ones.
A vehicle for the trip to this dangerous zone is provided by our partner — the organization “Russky Mir.” The total planned weight of the cargo is 3 tons.
The purchase of the necessary products is currently underway.
And here we very much need your financial support!
Without your help we will not be able to purchase everything needed for 350 food packages.
