Inspiration Strikes
My name is Desislava Gakova, and I want to share the story of how I decided to start a charity. One day, as I watched the news in Bulgaria, I came across a heartbreaking story. There was an abandoned child at a chemotherapy facility, all alone in a battle against cancer. Can you imagine leaving a 9-year-old child to face such immense pain and fear without any support? This unacceptable behavior shook me to my core and ignited a fire within me to make a change.
The Search for Support
Feeling compelled to help, I took to the internet, where I discovered the Nippon Foundation in Japan. I reached out to them, hoping for assistance for that child, only to learn they only donated to charities. This moment marked the true beginning of my journey. It took me nine long years to find the right people and create a charity aimed at providing care and support for vulnerable children. Finally, on April 3, 2025, my dream came to fruition, and together with my team, we are now ready to assist those in need.
Empowering Women Through Nature
While building the charity, I had another vision I wanted to bring to life. Many older women expressed a desire to live in a space surrounded by other women, where they could connect with nature, grow their own fruits and vegetables, and even raise chickens for fresh eggs. To create a peaceful environment, I decided to establish a sanctuary where women can feel safe and at ease, allowing them to explore their spiritual journeys without disturbance. I believe that this connection to nature and community will empower women and foster a sense of belonging.
