In the context of the Giving Tuesday event, the TPA consultancy company, a leading provider of services in the area of tax consultancy and audit, donated 30,000 to the common benefit organization Dlaň životu, which operates an asylum home for pregnant women in need in Hamry and Hlinska. The donation was used to purchase tables with eight chairs for the common room and likewise for the restoration of kitchen equipment, purchase of small appliances and other domestic needs.
“We are pleased that, through specific donations, we can help where necessary. We have been supporting the common benefit organization Dlaň životu for a long time both financially and materially and we try to focus our donations on their current needs. We are therefore very pleased that, thanks to the amount we donated to them in the context of Giving Tuesday, they can make themselves cosy at a large table in the common room of the Hamry asylum home and purchase other small items that will make their clients’ stays there more pleasant,” said Rostislav Kuneš, General Director of TPA, on the donation.
The common benefit organization Dlaň životu was founded in 2002, and from the beginning it has focused on pregnant women who have found themselves in a difficult life situation. It runs and asylum home in Hamry u Hlínska for pregnant women in need and likewise provides advisory and other services in the area of family support.
