We come out, they stay
Help to people at your house, who are forced to stay in isolation
Near by might live people, who really need help
About the Project
Encourage the neighbors to help each
We have spent just 2 months quarantined at home without any close contact with our friends and family. At the same time in our house or on the same floor might live those, who were stuck in forced isolation for many years: elderly people, people with disabilities,or people with cerebral palsy.

*We understand that you might want to stick the posters in many buildings. We are thankful for that! However, the project is not commercial and there is not always an opportunity to print the wanted amount of posters. Thatiswhywelimited the number of posters to up to 5 per person. We are sure, that you understand us too.
Non-material help
*Types of non-material help:
Just communicate
Human needs human. Visit your neighbors, drink tea with them, and try to spend at least 30 minutes together. Watch the TV together. Discuss a football match. It is important to show, that a person stays the real part of the world.
If there is no elevator or it is not working
For example, ifyou have a person in a wheelchair in your building, gather with your neighbors: arrange to help that person to get down and back up to their floor at a certain time.
Go for a walk
For many people, who have been staying at home for a long time, a walk outside is an interesting adventure. They get ready for it! Offer your help and accompaniment.
Help with cleaning the house
Isolated people might have some difficulties, depending on their level of mobility, with keeping the house nice. They might be shy, but happy for your support with it!
Check their mailbox
Make the deal, with your neighbor to check his/her mailbox after work.
Help with studying
Isolated people very often drop out of a modern context. They don`t know how to use the internet, don`t have the needed knowledge and skills of nowadays. Your help with it will be priceless.
*Please notice, that we don`t have the information about your neighbors. Only you decide with who to communicate and who to help.
Material help
*Types of material help:
Purchase the products and household goods
You know very well, that governmental help for disabled people is minuscule. It`s barely enough to get the food. Ask your neighbor, what they would like to have for dinner, and once a week help them with it.
Pharmacy
Very often isolated people need medication on a regular bases. If you have an opportunity to purchase the needed medication, it will help them a lot.
Special means
Mostoften, the isolation of people is related to the musculoskeletal system. Modern functional means of transportationcost a lot. Ask, maybe your relatives or people closest to you have some used ones, which will make life easier for those who need it?
Internet
Imagine, that you haven`t had the internet for two weeks during the quarantine. It would be scary. Often isolated people don`t even have a smartphone. If youhappen to have an old smartphone or modem, you will really make a difference for the life of your neighbors.
Consultation at a doctor
Most often after a couple of years with a specific disease, a human just gives up and gets over. However, the medicine keeps on constantly finding solutions for curing some of the diseases. Help your neighbors with the consultation from the professional.
Treatments or procedures
Fundraising – is a good old way to resolve issues. Try to come to an agreement with your neighbors and partly cover some treatment procedures at a therapist or other specialist for your other neighbor. Maybe, after that, they can come out of isolation.
*Please notice, that we don`t have the information about your neighbors. Only you decide with who to communicate and who to help.

Neighbors, who are already helping
My grandma lost her vision 7 years ago. For the past three years, she has not been coming out of the house, because she was afraid to fall. Thankfully, I with my mom and neighbors visit her. However, I know that there are people who are closed alone. I want to support them somehow.
When I was little, in the building next to me lived a weird grandpa. He would call the people from his balcony and ask them to drop some tobacco in the box that he was dissing on the string. Later I figured that he was in the wheelchair and had never left his apartment. People like him really need our help!
I had a hard time getting over the isolation during the quarantine. Without live communication with people, I almost went crazy. None online communication will replace the usual get-togethers with tea at the kitchen. I got happy when I found out about this project.
