Par Selo Dubrave Youth Association received a donation from Chicago, USA. The donation was paid into the account of the Association as a continuation of the humanitarian aid to help people from our community whose property was jeopardized by the flood that happened in May. This time the donation came from the Mijatovic family members who have been living abroad for quite long time. Together with their friends, they managed to collect $ 2,000 (BAM 2,910).
A great number of good people who are not from here but are willing to help those in trouble supported the Mijatovic’s appeal. The greatest gratitude is due to Adam Cacic, who, apart from helping with his own donation, organized a charity dinner in Croatian Cultural Club of Joliet. All the money raised during this dinner went to helping Orašje.
Apart from Mr Cacic, we would also like to thank Croatian Cultural Club of Joliet and the following families: Shuper, Jelinek, Rendich, Kraljevic, Mesic, Mate and others.
In the following days, the money will be given to the most jeopardized families, like during the previous activity, and everything will be reported about.
Par Selo Dubrave Youth Association can proudly announce that, including this sum of money, Orasje was helped with BAM 7,500 in total. We hope this somewhat eased the worries that the inhabitants of Orašje are going through.
