Among others, the UL Rector's Board and employees of several administrative units of the University of Lodz have organized aid for Zenon and Zofia, who take care of their five-year-old granddaughter with disabilities. Despite material difficulties, the grandparents devote their whole lives to create a loving home and the best possible conditions for the girl.
Thanks to our joint action, we have managed to satisfy all of the family's needs. We have collected, among others, a washing machine, bedclothes, educational toys, milk and diapers. We have bought a rehabilitation chair for a little girl, the most necessary products for everyday use, such as household chemicals and cosmetics, as well as food with a long expiry date (tinned food, groat, flour and jam). Additionally, we have managed to set aside some money for Christmas sweets and gifts (educational games for the little girl, a warm blanket and winter coats for her grandparents). With the money which was left after the shopping, we purchased vouchers to Kaufland store, which the family will be able to use according to their needs.
The Promotion Centre, University of Lodz delivered the gifts to the Noble Parcel Volunteers, who presented them to Mr. Zenon and his beloved ones.
The family asked to thank the students and personnel of the University of Lodz and wish them all the best for Christmas. There was plenty of emotions, joy and disbelief.
– that is the message we received from Bartek, a volunteer who presented the gifts from the University of Lodz.
Many other units of the University of Lodz have also joined the Noble Parcel campaign. Donations for families in need have been collected, among others, by students from the Personalni (Personal Advisers) Student Science Club operating at the Department of Human Resources Management at the Faculty of Management of the University of Lodz.
The Noble Gift is one of the most recognizable Polish social schemes that has been operating since 2001. During this year's edition of the campaign, throughout Poland several hundred thousand people engaged, which resulted in aid provided to more than 17,000 families in need. We are happy and proud that, like every year, students and employees of the University of Lodz were among the donors.
