A specialist with 15+ years of experience in entrepreneurship and business management, currently dedicated to social impact in Estonia. I am a 63-year-old Ukrainian refugee who found a new home in the Ida-Viru region. Grateful for Estonia's support, my colleague Alexander (67) and I launched the 'Creative Lab' project at the Ahtme Day Center (Maleva 49, Kohtla-Järve). Our mission is to combat social isolation and maintain cognitive health for seniors through tactile creativity: lightweight air-dry clay modeling, puppet theater (Bibabo), and painting. We use our personal social benefits to kickstart this initiative, proving its viability before seeking external support. My entrepreneurial background helps me develop high-quality, low-cost models for art therapy that are scalable and efficient. I am an advocate for 'Grassroots Altruism' — direct, transparent action with zero administrative overhead.

1. Creative Materials: Our primary need is a steady supply of materials for our sessions. Our 'Creative Lab' is growing faster than our personal budget can support. We urgently need:
Lightweight air-dry clay (different colors) — this is our main material for seniors' motor skills;
Acrylic paints and brushes;
Molding tools for shaping the air-dry clay.
2. Direct Support via Amazon: To ensure 100% transparency, we do not ask for cash. We have a Wish List on Amazon.de. Any item purchased will be delivered directly to the Seniors' Day Center in Estonia.

3. Scaling & Legal Advice: As we are planning to establish a formal MTÜ, we would appreciate guidance on transparent social entrepreneurship and scaling art-therapy models for the elderly.

1. Direct Support for Seniors: I am currently running a 'Creative Lab' at the Ahtme Day Center for elderly residents. I help them maintain cognitive health and fine motor skills through guided sessions with lightweight air-dry clay.
2. Mental Health & Socialization: I provide a safe space for seniors to gather, communicate, and combat social isolation. My work focuses on emotional relief through tactile art and puppet theater (Bibabo).
3. Technical Facilitation: I use my 15+ years of entrepreneurial and technical experience to create custom molds and simplified techniques. This ensures that even seniors with limited mobility or vision can create beautiful and meaningful objects.
4. Personal Investment: To ensure this help is consistent, I am already investing my own social benefits to purchase the necessary lightweight air-dry clay and tools, proving that the project is vital and high-impact.
