Foundation Second proudly announces that the Dutch humanitarian organization Stichting Amanet has once again provided essential support to a family that has been living in prolonged financial crisis. After covering one month’s rent earlier this year, Stichting Amanet has now financed another monthly rent payment of 180 EUR, ensuring that the family can remain in their home and preserve the stability they urgently need.

When it comes to supporting families and children at risk, Foundation Second has, for many years, developed and upheld an approach that consistently delivers the best results: every family is supported individually, with understanding and respect for their real circumstances. This is why Foundation Second does not use pre-prepared food or hygiene packages. Instead, every purchase is made intentionally and immediately before visiting the family.

There are people whose kindness and care cannot be measured in money. People who, for years, quietly and humbly bring light into the lives of others. One of them is a long-time donor of Foundation Second, who continually reminds us how much human kindness can change someone’s day, month, and even life.

Foundation Second proudly highlights the exceptional support provided by the Dutch organization Stichting Amanet, which secured a donation of 350 KM (178 EUR) to cover the monthly rent for a five-member family facing a severe financial crisis. This family has been part of the Family and children support service program of the Cantonal public institution Home for children without parental care Sarajevo for some time, and thanks to this generous donation, they have avoided another step towards separation due to economic hardships.

Foundation Second has continued providing support to families facing difficult living conditions and at risk of separation due to economic and social challenges. Thanks to the generous donation of a kind-hearted citizen, a five-member family under the supervision of the Family and child support service of the Cantonal public institution Home for children without parental care Sarajevo has now received a fireplace, ensuring warmth and safety for the coming winter.

For this year’s Eid al-Adha, Foundation Second visited a family with six children who have long been part of the support program run by the Family and child support service of the Public institution Home for children without parental care Sarajevo. This is a family facing difficult living conditions and the constant struggle for survival, placing them at risk of separation.

Unfortunately, we did not find the family at home this time — their relatives greeted us, and we left a package of basic food supplies and Eid meat with them, so the holiday could still be marked with dignity in their home.

Visits like these, which often mean far more than material assistance, are made possible thanks to the members of the Foundation Second Donor Club. Their ongoing support allows us to respond quickly to urgent calls for help, especially when families lack basic food supplies, hygiene products, or firewood.

Through the Donor Club, everyone can choose the monthly donation amount they wish to contribute — with options ranging from 6, 10, 15, 20, 30, 50, to 100 BAM, and each contribution carrying its own meaning and value. By completing the form, you can select the projects you wish to support and help ensure that interventions like this Eid visit reach those who need them most.

Even after the festive days of Eid have passed, kind-hearted people remain by the side of those who need support the most. The director of Foundation Second, Belma Mujezinović, and the head of the Family and child support service of the Cantonal public institution Home for children without parental care Sarajevo, Amina Pohara, recently visited a five-member family that has long been in the care of this service due to the risk of family separation and unresolved housing issues.

Eid holidays are days of joy, family gatherings, and togetherness. But for some families in our society, they also carry a heavy weight — the weight felt when the holiday arrives and there isn’t even the bare minimum in the house. This was the case again this year for one family in Sarajevo, visited ahead of Eid by representatives of Foundation Second and the Support service for families and children of the Home for children without parental care Sarajevo.
