Charitable foundation of actress Chulpan Khamatova. Directions of the fund's work

Through your portal, I would like to say words of gratitude to the wonderful actress and person with a capital letter, Chulpan Khamatova, for the business that she started with another actress Dina Korzun and continues to develop it. In case anyone hasn’t heard, this is a wonderful “Gift of Life” project aimed at helping children with cancer and hematological diseases. This is a volunteer organization that does not have a permanent composition, legal address or bank accounts. This is simply a union of people who are not indifferent to the fate of children completely unknown to them and who spend their time and money to help these children. I don't want to glorify these people, it's just humanly normal to help children and respect elders. It’s just that for some reason, all the residents of the former union suddenly forgot that they were once the same people, gave way to the terrible ones in transport and helped absolutely strangers. And the point here is not that, as many say, life forced it. A person, if he is truly a person, must remain a person in any situation. And these people who work as volunteers in this foundation are precisely those people who will always and under any circumstances remain human. Why this review? To once again draw the attention of network users to this project, and perhaps some of you who read this will be able to help this fund in some way: with your work, donated blood, or just a donation. And it seems to me that people who want to help don’t need once again explain why to do this, they will simply do it if they know who needs their help and that their work and funds will not be wasted. The only point that I would like to draw the attention of Chulpan and Dina and other fund managers is the real problem with the health of the Russian-speaking nation. After all, the problem with sick children does not arise after the birth of these children, but much earlier. It all starts from the age of 13-17, when teenagers begin to be sexually active and often simply ruin their health. I have a gynecologist friend, and when I came to visit him I saw pregnant girls who were going to smoke in a group, I was simply “thrilled” by what kind of children they would have. And if society and perhaps the school have not taught them what it means to prepare and become a mother, at this moment it is already useless to explain anything. Of course, everyone knows about this problem and perhaps something is being done in the corridors of power, but maybe the Gift of Life Foundation will find my proposal interesting for organizing a new type of volunteer work, such as a program for educating children at school. And then perhaps after some time we will see more healthy children and their mothers, and together a healthy and wealthy nation.

On June 12, the traditional presentation of State Prizes took place in the Kremlin. President Vladimir Putin awarded the laureates and noted their achievements.
People's Artist of Russia, co-founder of the Gift of Life foundation Chulpan Khamatova received an award “for her contribution to the development of domestic theater and film art.” She immediately transferred her bonus of 5 million rubles to seriously ill children.

The head of state highly appreciated the creative and charitable activities of Chulpan Khamatova:

“The creativity and charitable projects of Chulpan Nailevna Khamatova have received wide public recognition. One of the brightest, most subtle, highly gifted actresses, she is in demand in both theater and cinema.

But many appreciate and love Chulpan not only for her roles, multifaceted and brilliant, but also for her charitable activities. The “Give Life” foundation, founded by her and actress Dina Korzun, has won the absolute trust of society. His activities are selfless and extremely transparent. And this makes it possible to attract significant financial resources here to fight for the lives of children.

Thank you very much for this work,” said Vladimir Putin.

According to Chulpan, by helping seriously ill children, she receives such an avalanche of warmth, kindness, and love that she then lives with it for a very long time.

For me, this award is another great opportunity to help children with cancer - the wards of the Gift of Life Foundation. Without any doubt, I am donating these 5 million rubles to the fund for the purchase of special medical equipment at the Center for Pediatric Hematology named after. Dmitry Rogachev, thanks to whom children will be able to undergo a high-quality rehabilitation course after complex and difficult treatment.

-Why did you start doing charity work?

My whole history in charity began with a meeting with doctors. I saw extraordinary people, sensitive doctors with unpetrified hearts, and I realized that they needed help. If there are such fireflies on this planet who fight for the lives of children, then I have no right to leave them alone in this fight. I saw how volunteers work, these people with big, kind hearts. I was amazed by their dedication. And, of course, I met the children. It’s a special happiness for me to come to them, play, chat...

Our first event was the charity concert “Give Life,” which took place on Children’s Day, June 1, 2005, at the Sovremennik Theater. This concert brought together artists, volunteers, and philanthropists. And then action after action began. It became clear that it was necessary to create a fund and somehow systematize the assistance.

-How has working with the foundation changed you?

I became more open. My ability to communicate has increased. Previously, I mainly communicated only with theater and cinema people, but I myself interesting topic for me there was a discussion of the role drawing. Nowadays, amazing children and their parents, doctors and nurses, volunteers are always next to me, and these are the most different professions and social strata.

After meeting the children who are treated in our hospitals and entering the special world of their childhood, where life and death, joy and suffering, pain and despair are perceived in all their severity and uncompromisingness, I learned a lot myself and understood a lot. I became absolutely immune to philistine conversations, “problems” that are not such. I learned to distinguish between what is nonsense and stupidity, insignificant vanity, banal selfishness, and what is truly important and urgent.

-What does this activity give you personally?

I'm probably being selfish and just enjoying it. It’s an incredible pleasure to see children being treated and discharged, to see their eyes. It lifts my spirits when I see how the spirits of parents of children lift, who know that they were not left alone with grief. They look at her in such a way that they no longer need fame, ratings, or all this tinsel associated with the concept of “popular artist.” And that makes me happy.

It gives me a lot of love. We live in a time when the concept of “love” is devalued. Every person feels a lack of love, tenderness, warmth. I am like happy man, I receive such an avalanche of warmth, kindness, love that I then live with it for a very long time. In addition, I live with a sense of involvement in changing reality in literally this word. And this is also a wonderful feeling that moves me forward productively, positively, constructively. I really believe in God. I understand why I live on this earth. I have a point of application of strength, I am a happy person.

-Why do people start doing charity?

Everyone has their own prerequisites. Someone simply cannot help but feel other people's pain and grief. And all the impulses of an outstretched hand and kindness occur in him unconsciously. There are people who fear God and want to change their lives. There are people who need weight in society. Maybe they don’t feel other people’s pain, but they exist in society and it is important for them to look good in it. I am very glad that social responsibility of companies and individuals is developing in Russia, and many people believe that they should do charity work because it has a positive effect on their reputation.

-What do you need to do to start helping?

And you look into the eyes of these children, their mothers and doctors to understand that something needs to be done. It's obvious, that's all. I am very glad that there are people who only have to mention a problem, and they already run to the hospital, come up with something, and involve their friends. They are very different, these people. Among them there are those who have serious capital. And there are very poor people who are also ready to help. And they carry some one hundred, some a thousand rubles, come up after the performances and hand over the money in envelopes that simply say “Children.” But the main thing in helping is sincerity, selflessness, this is something eternal and unshakable.

I thank the “Give Life” Foundation for your cooperation ( http://podari-zhizn.ru)

The non-state charitable foundation of Chulpan Khamatova and Dina Korzun “Give Life” appeared in 2007. This is an association of people who, long before the foundation was created, helped children as volunteers cope with their serious illness. Back then, charity was not as widespread as it is now. Unfortunately, many people are accustomed to turning a blind eye to the misfortune of others. “Children are the flowers of life, and you can help them,” the actresses and Chulpan Khamatova firmly know.

"Give Life" does not have any branches or representative offices in the regions of Russia. This is an initiative group of donors that has been providing assistance to children with cancer and hematological diseases for many years in a row.

Also, "Gift of Life" has two partner funds outside our country - in the UK and in the USA.

Foundation creation

In 2005, actress Chulpan Khamatova, after talking with pediatric oncologists and hematologists in Moscow, saw the deplorable state of hospitals at that time. Doctors asked her to hold a charity concert, the proceeds of which were to be used for expensive medical equipment. Teaming up with Dina Korzun, Chulpan held two charity concerts. The second concert took place at the Sovremennik Theater, and invited famous musicians and artists were involved. This concert helped Chulpan Khamatova raise 300 thousand dollars for the treatment of sick children. IN next year Another charity concert was held, organized by Dina Korzun and Chulpan Khamatova. The Gift of Life Foundation was organized shortly thereafter. And now concerts called “Give Life” with the participation of a variety of talented pop stars are held in Moscow every year.

Everyone can help

The actress is sure: everyone can help sick children! You don't have to have a lot of money to do this. For example, you can donate blood regularly, or you can become a volunteer, come to the hospital to play with children, help them, write letters of support, and also help parents as a courier... There are many options - if you wish.

It is impossible not to change when faced with sick children and their problems every day. It becomes obvious what is truly important in life and what should not be paid attention to. “I’m happy that I met unselfish, extraordinarily kind people - volunteers,” admits Chulpan Khamatova.

The charitable foundation has existed for about ten years, and it supports warm atmosphere throughout the entire time the patients themselves. After all, even sick children, in fact, remain the same children! They play, draw, make some progress. When children recover, this also brings great joy. When you learn about the successes of your students, it can’t help but make you happy. Some recovered children, growing up, come to the hospital to work as volunteers, in turn, helping other children cope with the disease.

Children Hospital

In 2008, thanks to the assistance of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Chulpan Khamatova Foundation was built in Moscow child Center oncology, hematology and immunology. The center was named after one of the foundation’s patients, Dmitry Rogachev. A boy with cancer invited the Russian President for tea and pancakes. And the foundation managed to make the boy’s wish come true! Thanks to this incident, it was possible to build a children's hospice. Unfortunately, the boy is no longer alive. Dima Rogachev died in September 2007 in Israel from hemorrhage in the lungs.

Every year, since 2010, the foundation organizes sports competitions for cured children. Also, the Chulpan Khamatova and Dina Korzun Relief Fund provides all possible assistance in holding charitable events to everyone who wants to contribute to the treatment of children.

A few days ago, actress and co-founder of the “Give Life” fund for children with oncohematological and other serious diseases, Chulpan Khamatova, in an interview with the Estonian publication Postimees, said that she was ready to campaign for Vladimir Putin again if another hospital was built in return ( we're talking about about the Center for Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Immunology named after. Dima Rogachev, built with the assistance of Vladimir Putin). Actress who in 2012 starred in a video supporting Putin, who was a presidential candidate at the time, she said that she was ready to do the same and that, in her opinion, “there is no black and white, there are good and bad deeds.” “My country does a lot of good things. And my country does a lot of monstrous, terrible, sad, disgusting things. And I am always ready to thank you for good deeds,” Khamatova said.

The actress's statement caused a stormy reaction in the press and in social networks, which is why the Gift of Life Foundation opened"direct line" on Facebook. The foundation's employees, its director, and Chulpan Khamatova herself invited everyone to ask questions about the activities of the foundation and its co-founders. At the time of publication of this note, the post on the “Give Life” page collected more than 500 comments, most of them were words of support and gratitude, including from founders charitable foundation for hospice assistance “Vera” Nyuta Federmesser and parents of children who were helped by the “Gift of Life” foundation.

Representatives of the fund commented statement by Chulpan Khamatova about Vladimir Putin’s help in building a clinic: “Vladimir Putin really responded to the proposal of doctors - pediatric oncologists and hematologists that such a clinic is needed in Moscow. Construction took place under the personal control of the president. Chulpan Khamatova decided to star in a campaign video - this is her personal choice. In the video, she thanked the president for his assistance in the construction of the center. We cannot answer your question (can you simply ask for support from the president (for example, a hospital), but not appear in the video?) because we do not have such information." They also noted that the Center for Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Immunology. Dima Rogachev is a state clinic, which the foundation patronizes, like a number of other hospitals. At the same time, Khamatova herself said, which considers the negative reaction addressed to him after the screening of the video to be fair, but “short-sighted and underinformed.”

When asked whether there are restrictions on who the fund is ready to accept help from and whether it supports the policies of Vladimir Putin, representatives of Podari Zhizn
