Description
ME: I’m [Tomas K.] from [Kaunas]. Two years ago, I used to drive out to the countryside every week to bring my grandmother her medicines. When she passed away, I realised just how many elderly people are left without help or even a simple chat.
WHAT I’M GOING TO DO: In 2026 [1–30 June], I’ll be driving my Audi through 30 towns in Lithuania. The aim: to visit 80+ elderly people living alone.
3000KM ROUTE: Vilnius, Trakai, Alytus, Druskininkai, Marijampolė, Kaunas, Jonava, Kėdainiai, Panevėžys, Rokiškis, Zarasai, Utena, Molėtai, Ignalina, Visaginas, Švenčionys, Šiauliai, Radviliškis, Kelmė, Telšiai, Mažeikiai, Plungė, Kretinga, Palanga, Klaipėda, Šilutė, Tauragė, Jurbarkas, Raseiniai, Anykščiai, Ukmergė and back to Vilnius.
WHAT I BRING FOR EACH ELDERLY PERSON:
1. A basket of food and medicines worth €15
2. 1 hour of my time: I’ll fix a tap, change a light bulb, or give some advice over the phone
3. Most importantly – a chat. Many of them haven’t had a visitor for weeks
WHAT YOU GET:
€20 SPONSOR: Your name in a thank-you video + a photo with the elderly person
€50 FRIEND: + I’ll visit the elderly person YOU choose and pass on your regards in a video
€200 PATRON: + A whole day dedicated to your town + a thank-you video for your company/family
€500 PARTNER: + Your logo on the car for a month + 3 visits on your behalf
100% TRANSPARENCY: Every 2 days I will upload a video report to 4fund: route, receipts, elderly people’s stories with their consent. Final report with all receipts.
If we raise less than €2,500, I’ll travel for 15 days. If over €4,500, I’ll add 10 days in Samogitia.
This is my work. You are buying my time and fuel so that I can help those who are most forgotten.
Thank you. [Tomas]
