Children of Heroes Fund – Project of the Year 2021

Another recognition for the work of the "For Good" Foundation - we received the award "Project of the Year" 2021 about the initiative "Fund for the Children of Heroes", which was awarded to June 7, 2022 at a ceremony at the Literary Club "Pen", National Palace of Culture. The distinction is awarded annually by Tulip Foundation of the best and most sustainable civic projects in Bulgaria.

The Children of Heroes Fund was created in response to the pandemic to support the children of doctors, nurses, paramedics, and teachers who lost their lives in the fight against COVID-19. The fund has been providing monthly financial assistance to families for over two years now – with care, perseverance, and humanity that do not fade with time.

At a time when society is facing new challenges – humanitarian, economic and moral, maintaining this fund has become even more difficult, but also more meaningful. The recognition from the authoritative jury, including actress Snezhana Petrova, touched us deeply and gave us new energy to continue.

Thank you for the trust, for the magnificent statuette and for ensuring that the voices of the children of the heroes did not go unheard. For us, this award is a symbol of memory and responsibility.

Thank you for your appreciation and trust. Thank you for having such amazing people and organizations who really do their best to build a better civil society.

We thank everyone who, during these two years and nearly 20 campaigns, stood by us, supported us, and worked alongside us. You and the children are our true inspiration. And that, believe me, is more necessary than anything else.

The Beds for Healing Foundation project was among the 10 finalists in the eighth edition of the campaign, selected by a jury from over 130 nominations. This campaign is part of our causes for modernizing children's healthcare in Bulgaria.

"For Good" Foundation with the "Ambassador of Good" Award 2021 from the State Agency for the Protection of Children and Young People (SACP)

We experience some events in a whirlwind – with fatigue, with broken hearts, but also with hope. Such was our distinction as "Ambassador of Good" 2021, awarded by The State Agency for Child Protection (SACP) at an official ceremony on March 18, 2022.

Foundation #ForGood was honored for her campaign "Fund for the Children of Heroes" – an initiative created at the beginning of the pandemic, which to this day provides scholarships and support for the children of doctors, nurses, orderlies and teachers who lost their lives in the fight against COVID-19. Thanks to donors and like-minded people, 30 children aged 3 to 17 receive monthly assistance that will continue until they reach adulthood or complete secondary education.

The recognition gave us strength in a difficult moment – when not only life, but also the memory of the victims was beginning to fade. And we believe that true care means not forgetting. Neither the heroes, nor their children.

Thank you to SACP for the reward that reminds us that to be "Ambassador of Good" It's not a title, it's a responsibility. And that every step on the path to a better future for children is worth it.

"Golden Apple" in the "Children's Organization" category

On June 1, 2022, the For Good Foundation was awarded the Golden Apple for Children's Organization of the Year by National Network for Children Bulgaria.

For us, this award is a huge responsibility and honor! As we have always said, the For Good Foundation does not consist of just 8 women, but of all of you, who not only help and support us, but also share our common "madness" that goodness is the greatest power that a human being has and should confidently use.
 
Children are our living messages to the future. Every saved childhood will be an island to which a future adult can return and find meaning in being a Human.

Thank you to everyone who has given their vote of support and trust!

The project "Firefly - a hospital that doesn't look like a hospital" has been awarded the prestigious BIG SEE Architecture Award 2025

Our project in Dobrich Hospital – a hospital that no longer looks like a hospital – received the highest international recognition –  BIG SEE Architecture Award 2025 – Hospitality category

Winning this award is a huge honor, but also a confirmation that when you put your heart into something as important as children's healthcare, #good multiplies and paves the way for dozens of other positive emotions. The projects of the #Firefly wards are carriers of care, empathy and hope. They create the standard of pediatric care that all Bulgarian children deserve.

The chief architect and designer of the project is architect Magdalena Slavova from Redox Interior Design. We thank her for her exceptional professionalism, dedication and attention to every detail!

The award is a high appreciation of the work of the team of the For Good Foundation and our partners on the path of #Firefly. We thank everyone who was part of this transformation – donors, volunteers, doctors, partners, Dobrich Municipality.

Thank you to the team at Dobrich Hospital – who expressed their firm willingness to be part of the new standard in children's healthcare, to do everything necessary, including renovating the office premises, and provided full cooperation – a true example of commitment and cooperation.

Special thanks to America for Bulgaria and Esseterre Bulgaria, who, in addition to great financial support, were the first to believe in the project and inspired us to act on a grand scale! Without you, we would not have reached this scale!

We won two awards from the prestigious "Golden Apple 2025" awards, organized by the National Network for Children! 

Our project #Firefly was nominated in three categories and received an award in two of them:
🔹Category "Hospital" - Botevgrad Hospital
For the professional and heartfelt partnership in the transformation of the children's ward through the joint implementation of the "Firefly" project.

The attitude of the entire pediatric department team, as well as the hospital director, is an example that deserves to be shown - a desire for comprehensive change, readiness for full cooperation, a committed team, and a personal attitude towards the # Firefly cause.
The partnership with the hospital was key to the successful implementation of the project:

  •   Botevgrad Municipality finances the major renovation
  •  The hospital provided 11 new hospital beds
  • The senior sister raised nearly 2,000 leva in donations for additional equipment
  •  Eng. Nikolay Nedkov played an important role in the technical coordination
  • The entire staff actively participates in the finishing activities and improvement of the children's corner.

This is a strong example of commitment and empathy for children's health - and proof of an effective public-private partnership between a municipality, a hospital, and the civil sector.

🔹 Category "Benefactor" - Foundation "For Good"
Recognition for a cause that not only renovates wards, but also changes standards and expectations in pediatric healthcare.

We thank the National Network for Children for the recognition and the opportunity to be part of this change.

 Deep gratitude to all donors and partners who support us on the path to better children's healthcare.

Special thanks to America for Bulgaria, A1 Bulgaria, Esseterre Bulgaria for their belief in our mission and their sustainable financial support – with you we shine brighter!

"Firefly" in Dupnitsa among the winners of the "Fantastico next to you" competition - new hope for the children's ward

We were honored at the annual competition ceremony "Fantastico next to you" among 405 applicant organizations from over 70 settlements across the country! 

 It is difficult for us to describe how timely this support is! The project Firefly Dupnitsa was supposed to start in the spring, but we were unable to secure the necessary funding. With the money from the program, we will co-finance the renovation of the children's ward at the city hospital.

It is extremely pleasing for us to know that you are still we inspire with our vision for children's healthcarebecause we are aware that 10 departments later we are not news. 

Dimitrina Spirova, co-founder and member of the supervisory board of the For Good Foundation, accepted the prize and recalled that

"Our dream is every hospital where our children are treated,

"It doesn't look like a hospital!"

This is precisely why we continue to fight for a national Firefly program. 

In the handmade statuette we saw wings, symbolizing the endless possibilities for flight when you believe in a cause and want to do good. Wings are a very important part of our firefly too! We also thank the author Tzvetelina Pavlova, creator of the art studio #ЦkatoЦвете. 

We thank FANTASTICO for the trust, faith and empathy for such significant causes! We can't wait to see the result! Congratulations to all finalists and participants – you prove that goodness is all around us, and the mission is possible when we are together.
