Private event for good: Sharing Stories, Saving Lives

$7,294.42 Raised for Meds4Kids at bay area private event

After Halloween lights faded, friends gathered at home in the Bay Area, California, for “An Evening of Stories and Light,” hosted by Marina Davidova and Olga Zhuravskaya — long-time friends and supporters of Podari.Life. It was a night of warmth, kindness, and courage — a small circle around the fire where people shared stories of resilience and hope.

This simple gathering — with tea, laughter, and open hearts — became something powerful. Together, the guests raised $7,294.42 to support Meds4Kids, helping provide urgently needed medicines for children battling cancer.

Every story told that night became a spark of compassion. Every dollar given turned into hope for a child who needs it most.

We will soon share how these funds are being used to help kids. And there will be more gatherings like this next year, bringing more stories, more light, and more lives saved.

If you’d like to host your own evening of stories and kindness, please reach out — every small circle of warmth can make a big difference.
