Marina Poroshenko donates over 70,000 to charity

Not long ago, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko celebrated his milestone birthday. His wife Marina decided to organise a sort of flash mob. For every virtual congratulation and its likes, Marina Poroshenko pledged to transfer 1 hryvnia to the charity foundation "Tabletochka".

As a result of the campaign, 73,275 hryvnias were transferred, which will undoubtedly help save someone's life, and possibly more than one.

"Друзі, ми дякуємо всім вам за понад 70 тисяч привітань, «лайків», «шерів» та «коментарів» під зверненням Голови фонду Порошенка пані Марини та на офіційних сторінках Петра Порошенка з нагоди його дня народження." (Friends, we thank you all for the over 70,000 congratulations, "likes", "shares" and "comments" under the appeal by the Head of the Poroshenko Foundation, Mrs Marina, and on Petro Poroshenko's official pages on the occasion of his birthday.

Всі привітання та всю вашу активність ми перетворюємо на допомогу дітям і перераховуємо у скарбничку Фонду Таблеточки 73 275 гривень. (We are turning all the congratulations and all your activity into help for children and transferring 73,275 hryvnias to the piggy bank of the Foundation Tabletochka.

Добро робити легко! (It is easy to do good!)", - this information appeared on the Poroshenko Foundation's page.

It is worth noting that many were genuinely outraged by such a campaign.
