Finnish Red Cross Youth shelters support young people and their families in life's small and big problems

Help a young person in Finland

The Finnish Red Cross youth shelters are open every night, ready to help

By setting up an online fundraiser, you help together:Thanks to you, a young person receives supper, discussion help and, if necessary, an accommodation. For example, for 10 euros a young person gets a supper and a discussion help in the Youth Home, for 100 euros a young person gets a starter pack for their own home.

Follow these steps:

Choose your cause and start your fundraiser.

Use social media or e-mail. Do this several times.

See their donations and messages appear on your collection page in real time. Thank them.

The young person himself or anyone who is worried about her well-being can contact the shelter.
