Due to the recent sanctions imposed on Russia, CRA has decided to temporarily cease sending funding for humanitarian programs to Russia.

It appears also, that more of our donors are interested in supporting our Russian American youth and aid handicapped children in the US.  Thus, until the climate changes and becomes conductive again to support handicapped, orphaned and underprivileged children in Russia, CRA has opened a new fund for supporting handicapped and underprivileged children in the US.

CRA has already given aid to several Russian American families with handicapped and terminally ill children.  Recently, Spiderman visited terminally ill 3 1/2 year old Zachary, son of long-standing CRA members, under the program “Heart of a Hero”.   Zachary, who was diagnosed with Gaucher’s at 8 months, after he had surgery for a growth on his lung and extensive chemotherapy, now has been diagnosed with stomach cancer.

There are many children in the US, that need our support, and anyone wishing to donate to the CRA “Handicapped Children in US” fund, can do so by sending your check, payable to CRA to the CRA office address.

Please indicate the name of the fund on your check.  Your donations are tax-deductible.
