Dear Friends and Supporters,
We would like to share a brief update on the progress of the Warm Blankets for the Elderly project run by the Tekelbei Foundation.
Thanks to the encouragement and generosity of supporters like you, we have begun to see growing interest in this effort. Donations are gradually increasing, and with each contribution we are moving closer to our goal of reaching more elderly people who need warmth and comfort.
For many elderly individuals, something as simple as a warm blanket can make a meaningful difference. A blanket provides not only physical warmth but also a sense of care and reassurance that someone is thinking about them.
A Story from the Field: Last year, we delivered a blanket to Mrs. Mitei, an 82-year-old grandmother who lives with her grandchildren. She told our team, “This blanket keeps me warm and makes me feel remembered.” Moments like this remind us why this project matters and why every donation counts.
Our team has been actively encouraging support from local communities and friends of the Tekelbei Foundation. Step by step, this growing network is helping us build momentum so that we can extend warmth and care to more elderly people in need.
We are deeply grateful for the support we have received so far, and we remain hopeful that with continued encouragement from our community and friends, we will be able to expand this initiative and reach many more elders.
Thank you for standing with us and helping bring warmth, comfort, and kindness to those who need it most.
With gratitude,
Tekelbei Foundation
