The Spring Olympic Games 2020

We started to plan the Spring Olympiad in December 2019. At that time we had no idea that its planned schedule would perfectly copy the quarantine time and that we would ask you, our donors, for your contributions to cover the costs of face masks, disinfectants or of strengthening the helpline, which was during the corona-virus crisis much more used by senior citizens.

The Spring Olympiad 2020 was meant to address movement, a most important activity for an old person. COVID-19 changed the goal. The highest priority went to security, protection and psychic support for our clients and other senior people who were turning to Sue Ryder for help.

Thanks to you we have succeeded in all the disciplines that Spring 2020 brought to us. The SR personal assistance and consultancy team stood by old people who were facing difficult situations at their homes. The team taking care of Sue Ryder clients made, under these grossly worsened circumstances, the maximum effort to keep clients in good physical and psychical shape. They provided the clients with care and entertainment to minimize the effects of the state of emergency on their lives. True, the clients lived in isolation from the external world but they did not feel abandoned and they were not deprived of little joys of everyday life. And thanks to you, in this we were not alone. See the short video.

The Spring Sue Ryder Olympiad 2020 = 143 donors and financial help worth of Kč 374.134,-.

The state of emergency ended quite time ago. But COVID-19 is still threatening the most vulnerable among us and their needs not to be alone while aging stay on. So please do stay with us, too.

Thank you.
