"Don't you worry about me. I always come out on top," - Pippi Longstocking

☺️ This quote encapsulates Pippi's unwavering confidence and determination. She is a strong, independent, and refuses to allow the challenges and trials of life to weigh her down.

Let's all be more like Pippi!

MISSION COMPLETED! 😊
🥰 We are happy to share that for the 14th consecutive year, My Childhood has successfully completed a charitable initiative in support of Bulgarian children!

This time we partnered with the amazing team of CaritasRuse Bulgaria! 🇧🇬 ♥️ We sincerely thank them for everything they do throughout the year!

🪀🧸🐩The mission was to equip a therapy room/playroom at the Specialized Children's Home "Milosardie," which will bring joy to many children for years to come! 🥰

We heartily thank all Bulgarians in St. Louis who supported our cause this year!

Stay healthy, friends! We hope this initiative inspires you to continue to be as kind and compassionate!

"The Kind Bear"
📖 A children's book inspired by the charitable missions completed by My Childhood, beautifully written by Yavor Tsanev and illustrated by Olena Vecchia Pittura!

This book is dedicated to all children, and children at heart, who continue to spread kindness in the world, even if it is just a small gesture! ❤️

Kindness matters! Spread it generously! 🥰

Hello Friends,
👉We are launching a campaign to help 8 year old Nikol from Pleven, Bulgaria fight Ewing Sarcoma.

(In children and adolescents, oncologists typically prescribe a combination of five drugs given in an alternating order for up to a year. This combination therapy is able to cure around 70% of young patients with localized disease.)

Let's give her a chance! ❤️🙏

Please consider a donation directly to the family via PayPal:

If you prefer, you can also make a donation via our website:

We will accept donations through the end of January and then sent the funds to the family.

Be healthy and happy! 🙏❤️

Sincerely yours,

Team My Childhood

Dear Friends,

We are very happy to share that My Childhood's (1st ever!) coloring book is now a reality! 😊🎨🖼

The original pictures published in the book were drawn by talented students attending the National School of Arts "Prof. Vesselin Stoyanov" in Rousse, Bulgaria. 👏👏👏

Every child’s participation is highly appreciated! As a small reward for their efforts, My Childhood gifted each of them a set of art materials. 😊🍀

Our special thanks to the wonderful director of the school, Mrs. Maria Dukanova, who is always an absolute pleasure to work with!

The design and print of 200 copies of the coloring books was organized and sponsored by My Childhood.

We have donated coloring books to three different community centers in Bulgaria (Pernik, Karlovo and Galiche), as well as some copies to the National School of Arts in Rousse.

This project had a few different goals, and we believe we manged to achieve them all!

The donated coloring books will bring joy to the kids visiting community centers in need!

In addition, we aimed to provide a boost of motivation to the young artists who drew the pictures, by providing them an opportunity to showcase their art to a broader audience!

It is important for young artists to feel others’ interest in their work, and to receive praise for a job well done! 👍

We feel it is essential to provide such feedback to young artists, because this helps them believe in their own abilities, and consequently, to pursue their dreams with confidence! 😊

We wish to express our gratitude to everyone who contributed toward making this project a reality.

Even small acts of kindness can bring great strength to those who need it. ❤

Be healthy and happy!

Sincerely yours,

Team My Childhood

Dear Friends,

Apologies for the lack of updates lately, and I hope you are all enjoying the summer heat! 😉

We have some good news to share, so please take a moment to read the update below! 🥰

Special thanks to Ivailo Tomov, for his help with the writing of this post! ✍

Our joint efforts have finally paid off!

🥳🎊🥳

We are glad to announce that our “Bulgarian Folklore is Magic” campaign is now complete!

It has taken quite a while to reach this milestone and this is why we would like to present the following overview of what has been accomplished:

Thanks to all of your donations and patience we have managed to successfully manifest 35 folk costumes for the little angels of the National School of Arts of Ruse, Bulgaria! This will ensure that the Bulgarian magic and tradition will be kept safe for generations to come!

🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬

As you might recall this whole idea started in 2020, two years ago. At first we were able to send 19 costumes, followed by 10 more in June 2021, and lastly, finish off with 6 more in early 2022.

We again would like to thank atelier "Horce" ("Хорце") in Varna, for their excellent craftsmanship.

In 2021, we also continued our 5-year tradition to create a calendar! In 2022, it features beautiful photography of young and talented ballerinas from the National School of Arts and the Youth Center (Общински Младежки Дом), in Ruse.

As result of the calendars, we have made a donation to each institution - 24 ballet tutus to the School of Arts and 14 custom folklore vests to the Youth Center (our donations are always based on actual need, so that is why the donations are different).

Huge thanks to Ginka Mateva Photography & Tsvetomir Tsvetanov Wedding Photography for their contribution!

Special thanks to the Director of the National School of Arts, Maria Dukanova and the Director of the Youth Center, Krasimira Nikolaeva, for their ***unwavering*** support, and tremendous help, with these initiatives! ❤

My Childhood wishes the teachers and students of both institutions continued success and artistic inspiration! It is our privilege to play a small part in ensuring that young Bulgarian artists have the necessary support to pursue their dreams! 🥰

Now that this campaign is fully realized we are free to come up with and tackle bigger objectives!

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to all of you whom have made this possible. 🙏🙏🙏 We could not have done it without your help, and your blessing! We surely hope that you will continue your generous support in our future endeavors so that we can achieve much more.

Collectively, together.
Stay tuned for the next adventure!
Thank you!

Sincerely yours,

Team My Childhood

Books are the gateway to inspiration, adventure, knowledge, and FUN! ❤

My Childhood is actively preparing to undertake our annual fundraiser for book donation to Bulgarian kids & schools in need of support! 🇧🇬

Please follow this space for more information later this month! 😘

Dear Friends,

Thrilled to confirm a "MISSION COMPLETED"! 💃🩰💃

We donated 24 ballet costumes to the National School of Arts in Rousse, Bulgaria!

They need these costumes due to the school's highly limited budget when is comes to this particular area.

We wish these young ballet dancers and their instructors lots of health, inspiration, and success on the Bulgarian stages and abroad!

The cost of this donation was USD 1,200. The emotional satisfaction to complete this initiative is priceless! 🥰

Love,

Latchi Delcheva & Team My Childhood
