Our colleagues from member organisation Center for Humanitarian Policy Foundation issued an alarm. Here it is, google-translated from Bulgarian.
Dear friends, with great regret I have to ask you for financial help again!
The Pink House has lived at its address for exactly 5 years. During that time, we helped 864 individuals who suffer from drug addiction. They are all homeless or living in extreme poverty, they all have almost no support in their daily lives. Apart from us. Except for the pink house.
At the end of February, we received notice of leaving from the landlords of the room. Despite the huge efforts made by the people of the Serdika district of the Capital Municipality, it was impossible to find a house that met our needs. All existing buildings are self-destructive, dangerous and impossible to repair on a budget.
Fortunately, after Evgenia Arnaudova from Serdika district made extraordinary efforts, she managed to find a plot on which we can place movable structures.
The cost of the four containers we need, together with the site, the field clearing and its fencing, will cost nearly 100,000 lv. which we (of course) do not have.
We will not give up, we will fight to the max to keep the only such place in Bulgaria! It’s humiliating enough that it’s only one…
For us to succeed again depends on your support. Give us a hand!

These 864 people are us:
- visited 34,304 times,
- they have been fed for free 48 026 times,
- they received decent clothes 3859 times,
- they took hygiene materials (soap, brush and toothpaste, dressings) 2818 times,
- 1184 times they came to wash the little clothes they have to look normal,
- 1750 have received medical supplies and bandages to take care of their health,
- 2497 were consulted on all topics related to their existence,
- 43 people paid their health insurances and began treatment for Hepatitis C.
Just in the last few months, over a hundred people have gone to the doctor and received quality care for the first time, and on the ground we met over 468 people. In the last ten business days, we have tested for HIV, Hepatitis C, Hepatiti B and Syphilis 98 people…
Please, help!
