OSCAR’S CHARITY PARTNER
Oscar’s campaign is coordinated with the help of his charity partner, the Children’s Foundation in Poland, Fundacja Dziecięca Fantazja, who purchase all the supplies on his behalf and manage the logistics of delivering the Back-Packs and Comfort-Packs to the appropriate centers, and arranges the Children’s Gala Events, during Easter, Summer & Xmas, for Oscar to attend and present the Gift-Packs personally to the children.
The Foundation, established in 2004 by Oscar’s parents, has made over 9,500 wishes and dreams come true for children in Poland who live with life-threatening illnesses, life-limiting conditions or challenging disabilities. In 2014 they received the Canadian Governor General’s Medallion for their charity work and for: “Strengthening Relations Between Poland & Canada”.

KIDS FOR KIDS
“It’s always the innocent children who suffer”, said Oscar. “They are scared and frightened and I want to try and bring a smile to their faces and to show someone cares”. “I’m on a “Kids for Kids” mission and I want to help as many as I can”.
“Through my campaigns I know that even an item as small as a Care-Pack with small personal gifts can mean so much to others in need”, said Oscar.
We hope that Oscar’s commitment, love and compassion to children affected by war, conflict, natural disaster or serious illness will encourage you to make a donation to support his campaign and his current appeal.
AIRLINE PARTNERS
Oscar is so grateful for the wonderful support he has received, for his humanitarian campaigns, from his airline partners, CONDOR and AUSTRIAN AIRLINES.
SPIN-OFFS
The publicity generated from Oscar’s campaigns led to Oscar being a guest speaker at churches and schools, which in turn is helping to create a new generation of young “givers”.
Other spin-offs resulting from his actions include; refugee children being provided with new desks, lamps and cupboards so they don’t have to study on the floor; bedding, blankets, sheets and pillows for a refugee center; a children’s day party for refugee children and movie nights for the kids.
Oscar’s campaign also supplied backpacks, with supplies, to 50 refugee children from various countries who arrived at a refugee camp in Poland, after living for many weeks in difficult conditions in a forest in Belarus, before being allowed to cross the border.
Oscar’s “Kids for Kids” attitude to life really works!
