The Vologda Oblast has joined the All-Russian campaign “Wish Tree”. Each deputy from the “United Russia” could remove the balloon with the wish of the child and fulfill it. We have collected some stories of young Vologda residents and their wizards.

“Baskets with children’s wishes hang on the Christmas tree. These are the dreams of children from low-income and large families, children with disabilities, as well as children of SVO participants. Wishes come to us by e-mail, through social networks, from our volunteer assistants. Over the past years, about 1500 messages have been accepted. They were entered in the “Book of Desires”, – said the speaker of the ZSO Andriy Lutsenko.

The deputies of the State Duma, the Legislative Assembly of the region, the city parliament decided to fulfill the wishes of the Vologda children.

So, a deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, Valentina Artamonova, pulled out a ball with the desires of four kids at once from the Belikov family. Three-year-old Tanya dreamed of a doll house, three-year-old Vanya wanted a toy tractor. Katya is eight years old, she made a big kinder surprise. Their older brother Saveliy made a constructor as a gift.

“Wishing Tree” is an opportunity to feel like a little magician and make a childhood dream come true. I love this action very much, always with a special feeling of excitement I remove the ball from the Christmas tree and read the wishes made by the children. And with great pleasure I go to the store to buy gifts”, — Valentina Artamonova shared her impressions.

The deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the region, Marina Denisova, fulfilled the dream of two sisters from school No. 25 in Vologda. The twins Zhenya and Ksyusha wanted to visit the new art gallery and the Vologda theaters.

“Amazing twins! Activists participate in all the activities of the school and the city, volunteers, and I am very glad that we met with them on such a joyful occasion. The girls were given sweet gifts, pleasant surprises, and, of course, they discussed their cultural program, which they will soon go to, ” – writes Marina Denisova in the social network.

13-year-old Alina received new skates as a gift from the regional parliamentarian Larisa Kozhevina. The deputy also invited the schoolgirl to an ice fairy tale, in which she herself took part. And after the performance, Larisa Kogevin herself rode with the girl. In addition, the people’s choice gave Alina’s three-year-old brother a set of walkie-talkies, and her six-year-old sister Sofia a musical toy.

I visited the role of Santa Claus and the deputy of the ZSO Roman Zavarin. He came to visit the three brothers Egor, Artyom and Kostya and their grandmother, presented the designer and toys.

“So much sincere joy and delight can only be seen on the faces of children. I’m glad the brothers liked the toys. I immediately remembered my childhood and the expectation of a miracle in the New Year. May the dreams of all children in the world come true! Then we adults will be happy too”, — Roman Zavarin shares his impressions.

Five-year-old Ivan at the end of last year received air hockey from the Mayor Yuri Sapozhnikov. Yury Vladimirovich also participates in the action not for the first year.

In total, this year in the Vologda Oblast, 25 “Christmas Trees of Wishes” were installed in local branches of the United Russia party in 22 districts and districts, in Vologda and Cherepovets, as well as in the regional executive committee of the party.

“Until December 23, applications were accepted from large, low-income families and families with disabled children – parents and even children called local branches and the RIK of the party. In particular, 139 families applied to the executive committee, for each of which a ball was determined. Each could have from one to several desires”, – commented in the press service of the Vologda regional branch of the United Russia party.

In total, the Vologda regional branch of the United Russia party accepted 1,243 wishes from Vologda children, which is 24% more than last year. Father Frost’s helpers will make children’s dreams come true until the end of February.
