The funding has become an essential part of our organization. Even though we get most of the fund from the government, still many people, companies, and organizations can apply and give a small contribution to the individuals who are in need. You will find all relevant information on our website and instruction how to use it. Keep in mind that all raised funds will go for research and for people who are struggling with mental disorders because many of them don’t have required means to perform the necessary treatment. We hope you will compassionate and willing to help everyone who is struggling on a daily basis.
