Morgenstern* donated about 12.5 million rubles to help people in connection with the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall
Morgenstern* transferred about 12.5 million rubles to help victims of the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall, as well as for other needs that arose in connection with the tragedy.
After the events in Crocus, the rapper not only expressed condolences to the families of the victims, but also created a bot so that anyone in need could ask for help, and also called on other artists to take part in raising funds. “We are ready to help you and cover the costs of medical care, operations, doctor’s services, etc. Write to us in the bot and describe in detail the situation with the proofs,” Morgenstern* announced on his social networks.
A week later, the musician released a report on the fund’s activities. During this time, we managed to collect almost 15 million rubles, of which approximately 12.5 million rubles have already been spent. More than 4 million were sent to 12 families of victims, almost 6 million to 59 doctors who helped victims of the terrorist attack. Another 230 thousand were transferred to four hospitals to purchase the necessary equipment: with this money, medical diapers, wet wipes, adult diapers, anti-bedsore creams and cleaning foam for hygiene were purchased.
In addition, the foundation helped purchase flowers and toys for a spontaneous memorial at the site of the tragedy - 50 thousand were spent on this, and another 25 thousand were spent on volunteer expenses. Young employees of the concert hall who helped urgently remove people from the building received a million rubles from the rapper: 15-year-old Islam Khalilov and 14-year-old Artem Donskov.
“We continue to work, we thank everyone involved. People are shy, but they are more confident in asking for help. If possible, tell us that if you wish, absolutely everything will remain anonymous,” the rapper wrote, noting that if he tries to deceive the fund, he will reveal and make public the identity of the scammers. Later, on the morning of March 30, the performer spoke about a family in which a mother, father and son died. Left behind is a 5-year-old daughter and an older sister who will take birth. The rapper's foundation paid the family 2 million rubles.
On the evening of March 22, before the concert of the Picnic group, a group of armed people burst into Crocus City Hall and opened fire. The attack killed 144 people.
