Businessman and benefactor

Daria Lisichenko is known for her entrepreneurial and charity work. As Dasha herself says, the sphere of her professional interests was affected by the difficult life experience of her family. In an interview with the online edition of Organicwoman, Daria said: "I always had a lot of stories in my family related to quite serious illnesses, and at the subconscious level I reflected on how to live happily ever after."

So the idea was born to create a farm market "Ecommarket", which has been owned by Darya for 15 years, and offer the consumer quality and healthy products.

The trend of healthy eating was continued by another business initiative of Darya - an investment in the start-up project for the production of functional drinks Fitoguru. Later, the brand "City-Garden" appeared - a chain of shops where the buyer is offered extremely useful, healthy and unique products for the Russian market.

The Great Loss

Unfortunately, the emergence of a charity fund to combat stroke was the result of the great loss of life of Darya.

At the age of 47, Daria's stepfather, Alexander Sergeyevich Sabodakho, suffered from a severe hemorrhoidal stroke . The condition was extremely difficult, the doctors said that he could live no more than a week. But the dedicated help and heroic dedication of Daria's mother Elena E. Sabodakho helped Alexander Sergeevich to live another 7 years. Three months after the death of her stepfather, Dasha's mother died, her cancer was diagnosed.

The severest seven-year stress of caring for a seriously ill relative, a great loss of life, was the hardest test for Darya. After the departure of my mother, a strong emotional need to help those who, like her family, faced this grave illness.

History of the foundation

In 2006, the mother of Daria Elena Yevgenyevna Sabodakho organized the Society of Relatives of Patients with Stroke. Elena Evgenievna managed to attract medical specialists, psychologists and rehabilitation physicians to the work of the society, who told their relatives about the basic rules of care for their patients in a competent and accessible way. In addition, psychological support was provided to family members. In the society, exchange of articles of care and things was arranged. Relatives of the patients rendered assistance to each other in the preparation of documents and disability.

In the same year, based on the Moscow City Clinical Hospitals No. 20 and No. 31, the Life after Stroke School was organized, where relatives of patients were given the opportunity to attend free care classes. The school also provided psychological, legal and counseling assistance in the prevention of stroke.

ORBI Foundation today

In 2008, Elena Evgenievna Sabodaho was gone and Daria Lisichenko continued her mother's business.

In October 2010, the Interregional Public Fund for Assistance to Relatives of Patients with Stroke "ORBI" was officially registered.

ORBI is the only organization at the moment that is struggling with the problem of stroke in our country. In addition to targeted assistance (collection of money for rehabilitation), the Foundation provides powerful program support to relatives of patients affected by this severe illness.

The company promotes a healthy lifestyle as a prevention of stroke and sees its mission as reducing the incidence of stroke and facilitating its consequences.

ORBI - an abbreviation, stands for "society of relatives of patients with stroke."

Information vacuum is the main problem

Daria Lisichenko considers insufficient awareness of the population the main cause of the severest consequences of a stroke. Residents of our country do not know the symptoms of the disease and can delay with the help. Moreover, very few people know where to go if it happened to his relative or close acquaintance. More recently, the fund's efforts have realized information projects on informing the public about symptoms and ways of providing first aid to the victim.

The Foundation for Relief for Relatives of Patients with Stroke "ORBI" considers it their top priority to teach as many people as possible to prevent and recognize a stroke, and minimize its consequences.

FAST Test

In fact, it is quite easy to recognize a stroke. That's why Daria Lisichenko believes that everyone should know his symptoms. There is a very simple FAST test (from face to face, arm to hand and speech test to speech test), which will allow you to recognize a stroke in a person who suddenly feels sick.

• Face - ask the person to smile. If one corner of the mouth goes down, it's a stroke.
• Arm - ask to raise both hands. As a rule, only one can rise. This is a stroke.
• Speech test - ask for something to say, as an option - your name or any simple word. As a rule, when a stroke is immediately violated articulation, and a person can not clearly pronounce a single word.

After establishing the symptoms, we have three and a half hours to deliver a person to the hospital. Any further delay will cause a massive death of brain cells, and the consequences of the stroke will become irreversibly heavy.

Fund programs and fund-raising

The ORBI Foundation provides comprehensive support and support to the relatives of the patient.

The organization has health schools "Life after a stroke" and "Prevention of stroke."

The Foundation provides targeted assistance and organizes fundraising for the rehabilitation of patients after a stroke.

The partner of the fund, the "Three Sisters" Center, is directly engaged in rehabilitation.

Collecting money to help patients and their relatives is not the only purpose of the fund. In addition to targeted programs, the organization conducts extensive information support and develops training programs.
