I want to help a relative in need, but I don't know how

We believe that each of us has at least once been involved in a charity initiative and helped a person or people in need. The feeling of helping is like no other. Some campaigns touch our heart and we take them on as causes of our own. We are willing to do whatever we can to be of help. Especially when it's our loved one. It's one of the most harrowing situations you can get into in life. Only then do we appreciate and understand what true happiness is - to be healthy, loved and surrounded by your loved ones!

It's hard to keep your composure at such a time and react as appropriately as possible, but the situation demands it and you have to be strong and not lose faith in the good even for a moment. It's quite normal to feel scared, confused and unsure of what you should do. Few are those who have the intuition and can react correctly in such a moment. But what does 'right' actually mean? And is it 'wrong' when people's lives are at stake? Frightening thoughts with a fatal outcome are probably running through your head, but by no means should you let them take over your mind!

Approach with caution when your loved one needs help. Don't be too bold or even aggressive in your efforts to help him or her, because doing so may hurt their self-esteem and make them feel even worse. Remember that everyone has dignity and you must do everything in your power to preserve it. It is common for people to refuse alms even if they desperately need it, because their dignity does not allow it and showing pity bruises their ego.

There are different techniques and ways of helping a person in need that apply to the situation. Their successful application depends largely on the cause for which they are to be used. Whether it is a charity campaign to raise money for life-saving surgery and treatment; a charity campaign for people in need after a disaster; a charity campaign to help lonely elderly people who are living in poverty and financial destitution; a charity campaign to support animals; a charity campaign to preserve nature and a number of other causes, what unites them is the goodness and desire of a person to help!

Organize a donation campaign

'Together we can do more' is a phrase to think of at a time like this. Especially when time is not on your side and every minute counts. Not everyone has the financial ability to provide the funds needed at the time. At such a time, there is no shame in seeking help and rest assured that there are always good people around who are willing to help in one way or another. So don't waste any more time and organize a donation campaign for your cause.

Create a donation campaign at PavelAndreev.ORG

The PavelAndreev.ORG online charity platform is one of the best places to create and run your campaign. This is evidenced by the hundreds of successful campaigns you can learn about if you check out the Pavel Andreev Foundation website.

Setting up a donation campaign on the Pavel Andreev charity website is extremely easy and is done in a few simple steps. You select the appropriate category, which you will find in the ,,Causes'' section, and share all the information you feel is necessary. This is the time to mention that if you are planning to organize a charity campaign for conducting treatment, then one of the mandatory conditions of the team behind the Pavel Andreev website is to have and provide complete and up-to-date medical records. This is done as a precaution to prevent fraud.

Important tips for organising and running a donation campaign

The most important thing when organizing and running a donation campaign is to gain people's trust. Try to touch them with words and attach as much photo and/or video material as possible. Don't spare them anything and be as comprehensive as possible. Open your soul and share your feelings. Rest assured that they will reciprocate with the same!

Set a specific goal and regularly update your audience on what's happening with the campaign. This way you will build trust and involve more people in the cause. Explain in detail how and what the funds raised will be used for. Share whatever you feel is necessary and be respectful to everyone who helps in one way or another.

How can I reach more people willing to help?

Don't limit yourself to just using one platform for charity. Create a fundraising campaign not only on PavelAndreev.ORG, but on any other site that allows it. Use social networks; seek help from TV, radio and newspapers; use personal contacts; get more people involved in your cause; hand out leaflets and brochures; seek help from companies and charitable foundations and generally keep looking for opportunities to raise funds and share your charity campaign.

Why is it important to be sincere?

People know when you're lying to them, so bet on the surest path to success - the truth! Be honest and share your feelings. Then your efforts will inevitably be crowned with success and your cause will reap maximum positives. You will attract loyal supporters, with whom together you will pave the path of good to the hearts of people!

Keep in constant contact with people

Communication in donation campaigns is essential. It is your main tool to attract more people to your campaign and achieve the desired success. Share any new information you think is important and keep in touch with your audience. Donors, while all looking for feedback, are watching and would love to receive periodic good news about the campaign and what is happening.

Remember what the ultimate goal of the campaign is

No matter how hard it may be, you should not lose motivation even in the toughest moments. You are the driving force behind the campaign and it is up to you to make it happen. Know that there will be highs and lows. You need to be resilient and strong-willed. As they say, keep the fire alive. Remember what the end goal is and do everything in your power to complete it successfully.

Every help is important

As we have already noted ,,Together we can do more'' and all help is important. Whether it is financial or otherwise, you should not belittle people's help and 'categorise' them according to the means by which they have joined your cause. Goodness is not measured in financial units and you should be grateful to everyone who is in one way or another involved with your mission!
