Themed appeal
St Nicholas Day for children of servicemen
Last year the children of servicemen of the Air Command “Centre” wrote letters to St Nicholas: about toys, books and small dreams they were eagerly waiting for.
Celebration for children of servicemen, December 2025
A one-off gift of any amount. There is nothing to cancel, it is not a subscription.
About the appeal
What exactly we do
Children write letters to St Nicholas. We buy exactly what is written in the letter and hand over the gift in person at the celebration.
These are the children of servicemen of the Air Command “Centre”: pilots, anti-aircraft gunners and soldiers of other units. Among them are children of defenders who were killed.
It was the same last year. Gifts based on the letters were bought, and the celebration was held at Santa's Residence at VDNH. The photos below were taken exactly there.
This year the appeal is open again: for gifts and for the celebration itself. The goal is ≈ $6,683, and the appeal closes on 30 November, because the gifts must be bought in time for the celebration.
Join us and become St Nicholas for the child of one of our defenders.
