A total of 30,000 zlotys was raised in three days to pay tribute to Yan “Pamedor” Reuckij, the founder of the “Belarusians in Warsaw” community. The funds will be used to organise a farewell ceremony in Warsaw, transport his body to Belarus and arrange his burial in his homeland. The organisers also plan to help his family cover the costs of making and installing a gravestone.
The fundraiser is ongoing. Donations can be made via BLIK to the BelAid foundation at +48453272121 or through the Zrzutka platform using this link.
