Power of support: embracing a new fundraising model to help those in need
2024 07 31
Viltė, while on a “Work and Travel” program in the U.S., tragically became an accidental victim of a shooting, suffering severe injuries. She is currently undergoing intensive therapy and faces a long road to recovery, including rehabilitation and further surgery. Through aukok.lt’s new fundraising method, Viltė was able to raise her needed funds in just 36 hours! This marks the first individual fundraising effort on the aukok.lt platform.
WALLESS provided pro bono consultation to help develop this new approach, with Dr Aistė Medelienė, Partner at WALLESS, and Ignas Urbonas, Associate at WALLESS, focusing on the legal aspects of tax implications. We’re happy to see such a positive and quick outcome for Viltė and proud of the role aukok.lt has played in this success.
This story highlights how effective fundraising and community support can truly make a difference. It’s a reminder that we all have a part to play in creating positive change and supporting those in need.
