Maruška works creatively with children for others 

Marie was born with a very rare genetic defect called the Ellis-van Creveld syndrome. But she decided not to feel sorry for herself and rather to help and spread joy around. She is very passionate about organising creative workshops for children and her products are then sold to benefit the Mary’s Meals charity. She says about the project: “I have ideas and communication skills and volunteering makes a lot of sense to me.” Maruška’s income constitutes a very low disability pension and in order to continue her work she desperately needs money to equip her workshop. Your donation will be used by Marie to purchase certified and health-safe plaster, new moulds and art supplies.
