Imagine spending your ENTIRE life being of service to others and the community, and yet, never getting that “breath of fresh air” that signifies that YOU as well get to thrive and must not live like a homeless person.
If you want to help a family in need:
* Click on the link for more info and to make a donation: https://gofund.me/a92dd469 , even small $10 donation can make a difference!
* Share the link https://gofund.me/a92dd469 with friends, in your mailing list and in social networks (you can use "Share" button on the top of the fundraising page).
* Under the “Share” button you can also click the “Embed” option, where you can copy the embed code and place it in your blog or website.
For your convenience I also created a special page on our ecominded site providing more information about our family, our social activities and all details of our fundraising campaign: https://ecominded.net/help-smirnovs-family

Hello Nancy,
Don't worry, all our customers in the United Kingdom receive their seeds without any problem.

Good luck Yuri.

The wofati design (no foundation needed, very inexpensive) might be feasible if building codes are looser where you are, and ecological.

Dear friends,
At the end of the year 2021 we collected all the money we could: our own savings, your jenerous donations (thank you!) even borrowed some money from the bank, and managed to purchase a small land plot in the countryside of Krasnodar region (South of Russia). We found a very beautiful place to build a dream home: forest view and just 50 meters to the river, please enjoy the video:

We are planning to build a house within next year. And to make our plans/dreams come true we really need help of our Eco-Minded followers and customers at https://ecominded.net . The more you buy from us the closer we are to realization of our dream! From our side we promise to do our best and provide you greater variety of unique and essential high-quality eco-friendly products from Russia.
