Monthly Report for September
Dear friends and donors,
Charity organization Serbs for Serbs registered
in the state of Illinois in United States in Jun 2010
by the group of the Serbian youth. Charity
organization Serbs for Serbs is a 501(c)(3) notfor-profit charitable organization. Donation is
tax-deductible to the extent followed by the law.
On 30th September, 2011 we finally got the letter
from department of the treasury (IRS) with tax
exempt 501(c)3 approval. All donations to our
organization donated from June 16, 2010 are tax
deductible under section 170 of the Code. We are
also qualified to receive tax deductible bequests,
devises, transfers of gifts under section 2055, 2106
or 2522 of the Code.
About Us
The mission of Charity organization Serbs for
Serbs is to affect on consciousness of Americans,
Serbs and their friends through planned
projects, social and humanitarian activities in
order to develop and foster better society for
future generations and provide aid for
underprivileged families in need.
Although
there
are
many
humanitarian
organizations and associations, help often doesn't
reach the most jeopardized. Due to unnecessary
administration, missing information and slow
decision making, the delivery of aid arrives too late
to the final consumers, or not at all. It is a sad and
embarrassing, but true fact that more than 18.000
children daily die around the world because of
starvation and malnutrition. There, among us, the
blind and deaf.
We are witnesses of the bad demographic situation
of our nation, decreasing natality, increasing
number of singles, abortions, accelerated aging of
www.serbsforserbs.org 2015
the population and generally bad economic
condition of the households in Serbia, Republic of
Srpska and other countries in the Balkan.
An average couple has "fallen" on one child.
Analysts warn that Serbs will become a minority in
its own country in the following century if the
nation, individuals and government don't wake up
from the nescient in which they've fallen!
On the other hand, nobody is talking about the
families with many children which grieve by living
in bitter poverty. Occupied by their everyday
struggle for survival, they are being humbly in their
desire for implementing rights which belong to
them. Their life stories, fears and problems are
identical, but almost invisible and unheard in order
to gain the attention of the public, media and even
state. That's why the idea of the Charity
organization Serbs for Serbs arose. The
organization was formed by a group of young and
trustful people, who are united by the common
vision of helping families blessed by many children
and who are aware of the fact that even a small
help means a lot for those who don't live in a
material excess.
We are united by the humane idea to help the
poorest part of the Serbian nation.
Charity organization Serbs for Serbs try to
revive the spiritless energy of the Serbian Diaspora
which would be able to reinforce people of Serbian
heritage as well as all good people throughout the
world with minimal, but constant monthly
donations.
We hope and believe that there is also a grain of
doing good and that you will join us in the endless
struggle against poverty.
God bless and save all Serbian families with many
children and our honored donors who participate in
the noble effort to return smile on children faces.
CHILDREN ARE OUR FUTURE!

Ambitions
Our mission
The mission of Charity organization Serbs for
Serbs is to affect on consciousness of Serbian
people through our projects and humanitarian
activities, in order to develop better society for
future generations.
Why Serbs for Serbs?
We wanted to alleviate impaired spirit of Serbian
people in togetherness and brotherhood help
through humanitarian work and social aid.
Who do we help?
We help Serbian families who live in the Balkans,
have five or more children and live in terrible
poverty. Under terrible poverty we define absence
of one or more basic factors required for living:
food, clothes, shoes, and safe space for living.
www.serbsforserbs.org 2015
Who do we need in organization?
We need members and donors that will secure
financial stability through supporting our
programs and activities in the future. Donors may
join our daily activities within the organization in
order to coordinate our work better. We also need
volunteers ready to donate several hours per week
for actual work within the organization. Activities
of volunteers and their specific tasks would be
determined by the required projects and their
personal interest. From that group of volunteers
we would look for future leaders of organization.

Why do we help?
We believe that there is a basic need for one
human (or a group) to help others in distress. A
help is not only human virtue but also a Christian
responsibility. By focusing our help on families
with many children, we directly affect on their
stirring toward becoming independent from socialdependable government programs.

with school and raising their own family;
• our donors are satisfied with the activities
and they are ready to help other families;

HELP TO FAMILY OKILJ IN THE
REPABLIC OF SRPSKA
www.serbsforserbs.org 2015
The Rogatica municipality helped them in recovery of
the desolation and at first time the family thought that
they would be able to come back to their home.
Charity organization Serbs for Serbs helped a year
ago a six-member family Okilj from the settlement
Pticijak near Rogatica in the Republic of Srpska by
providing wood-burning stove and a package of food.
Members of the family are parents Dragan and
Gordana with children Andjela (6), Nikola (4),
Andrea (3) and the youngest Kristijan (2). Another
trouble came when the old machine broke down, so we
bought a new washing machine in the amount of 439
KM. We also previously bought a package of food in
the amount of 324.28 KM.
Mother Gordana whit their children whit package of
food that we provided them
Gordana asked us then to help them in buying the
washing machine once they moved. She had been using
her mother’s she couldn’t carry, because it was old and
worn out.
The family was grateful for another help they received.
Their house was burnt down at the end of June last year
and they are currently living in Pale in other people’s
house with Gordana’s mother. During the war Dragan
Okilj came to Rogatica. His family managed to buy the
house in which they all lived.
Charity organization SERBS FOR SERBS calls upon
all friends and donors of the organization to get involved
in the action of collecting the means for helping this and
other socially disadvantaged multiple children Serbian
families.

SZS VISITING VUKOVIC FAMILY
FROM PRIJEPOLJE
www.serbsforserbs.org 2015
Their only income is 10,000 Dinars of child benefit and
his wife’s pension in the same amount, and they barely
manage to make ends meet.
At the end of August, members of the Charity
organization Serbs for Serbs visited the eight-member
Vukovic family from the village of Dusmanici, near
Prijepolje.
A turning near Prijepolje leads to one of the highest and
furthest hills and the family of Nenad and Ivana
Vukovic.
This is where they raise their five children! We met
Nemanja (11), Martina (9), Stefan (8), Djordje (7),
and Sladjan (6), who are growing up in this remote
village, having numerous troubles in their young lives.
When we arrived at this remote, modest and honorable
home, the oldest children were near the house, and, as
usual, they were picking blackberries and other fruits the
nature provides. The father, Nenad, provides for his
family the best he can.
The school and job opportunities are far away, and so are
other people.

Monthly Report for September
The Vukovic family members only have one another in
this world, and only recently they found friends in good
people of Prijepolje, who joined forces and built them a
new house!
www.serbsforserbs.org 2015
The Vukovic family needs 10,000 Euros to buy the
necessary doors, to have their house plastered and
insulated, to have water pipes installed, to fit out the
bathroom and kitchen, to finish the second floor and fit
out the rooms.
This was definitely a commendable gesture, but they did
not stop there – the same people who made
contributions, also came, rolled up their sleeves and
mixed mortar and laid bricks to make the new home for
the Vukovic family.
The grandma, Milka, in front of the Vukovic family home
Grandma Milka and mutual love and understanding are
big comfort for the children.
The Charity organization Serbs for Serbs decided to join
this extraordinary feat of Prijepolje residents and to try
to help the Vukovic family some more.
When we visited them at their new home and asked the
head of the family how we could help them, he told us
modestly and gratefully that the good people provided
them with the house and windows, but that they still lack
a front door and five room doors.

Hard living conditions of the Vukovic family
www.serbsforserbs.org 2015
There are many small rooms in the new Vukovic family
home, and the children cannot wait for a little nicer and
more comfortable part of their childhood to start, and we
are there to help their wish come true.
Mother Ivana
The mother, Ivana, suffers from a serious mental illness,
so the children were obliged to take on heavy
responsibilities from an early age.
Serbs for Serbs with the Vukovic family
Let’s open the door to a better world for these children
by providing them with room doors for a start! Let’s
help the Vukovic family move into their new home!

AID FOR TRIFKOVIC FAMILY FROM
PALE
www.serbsforserbs.org 2015
They are all excellent students and the parents are
struggling to provide the means for them to continue
their education. The mother is a good housewife,
dedicated to home and the children, while the father
works hard doing all kinds of work, which he is now
mastering.
This summer, the Charity organization Serbs for
Serbs helped the seven-member Trifkovic family from
Pale in the Republic of Srpska.
The parents, Koja and Sandra, and their children,
Damjan (21), Dimitrije (20), Tijana (18), Jovana (17),
Marija (15).
They were provided with attachments for
motocultivator (tiller, plow, sickle bar mower), to the
total value of 2,733 BAM.
The Trifkovic family would like to thank all good
people, our donors, who made this purchase possible,
and thus enabled them to work and put their children on
the right path.
The Charity organization SERBS FOR SERBS calls
upon all friends and donors of the organization to join
our fundraising action to help this family and other
socially disadvantaged Serbian families with multiple
children.
NO SURRENDER!
The Trifkovic family members are diligent and hard
working. The children have been raised in the spirit of
Serbhood to be honest and hard working people.

www.serbsforserbs.org 2015
The family consists of the parents, Boban and Mikica,
and their four underage children, Danijela (7), Teodora
(3) and baby twins Aleksandar and Aleksandra (8
months). The family would like to thank all donors for
their support. The work will be continued during
October so that the Naskovic family could move into
their new home before the winter.
The Charity organization Serbs for Serbs finished the
first part of construction work on adapting the house
of the six-member Naskovic family from the village of
Kusce in Gnjilane Municipality, in Kosmet. We
previously visited the family at the end of June this
year, and on that occasion we perceived that they
urgently needed help with fitting out their living space.

FROM BANJA LUKA
www.serbsforserbs.org 2015
The family consists of the parents, Nenad and Milijana,
and their four children, Nebojsa (19), Miroslav (17),
Darko (16), and Zorica (14). The aid consisted of doors
and windows, floor insulation, water pipes
installation and plastering, to total value of 4,813
BAM.
At the beginning of summer, the Charity organization
Serbs for Serbs helped the six-member Mijatovic
family from the village of Borkovici, 15 kilometers
away from Banja Luka.

Monthly Report for September
The oldest son, Nebojsa, suffers from a developmental
disorder, with epileptic seizures. No one in the family is
employed. Nenad is a war invalid, who works for daily
wages when there is work to do.
The Mijatovic family home only has the ground floor
and it has a mono-pitched roof. The interior walls are not
plastered, and there is no floor. They put carpets and
rugs over the bare concrete.
www.serbsforserbs.org 2015
After our visit, a decision was made to help the
Mijatovic family by doing some work on their house: the
screed was laid (floor insulation), the walls were
plastered, the windows were installed, interior doors and
also a front were bought and installed.
A nearby spring was used to supply water to the house
and the pipes were installed in the kitchen and bathroom.
This action created normal living conditions for the
Mijatovic family.
Their furniture consists of one couch, three beds and a
wood-burning stove, which they use to heat the house.
They keep their clothes in cardboard boxes.
The Mijatovic family would like to thank our donors
who made all this possible. We hope that in the future
we will be able to buy the Mijatovic family some
furniture and install floor and tiles.

The last family we visited near Obrovac was also the
family that we had helped several times before. It was
the Baljak family, counting eight members, six of
which are children. In the meantime, one of the
daughters got married, so there are five children living in
the family at the moment. The reason of our visit was
starting a small project in the near future, aimed at
adapting one building at the Baljaks’ small estate for
current and future needs of the youngest members.
Happy and pleased Bjelanovic family soon in upgraded
part of their home
We need another 1,800 Euros to finish this mini project,
so we could purchase materials for floor and ceiling.
After that, each of the four children in the Bjelanovic
family will have their own room, i.e. basic conditions for
living, playing and studying.

After Dalmatia, we continued our journey towards Lika
and the area of Donji Lapac, where after a long time, we
visited three families.
The first family we visited in the village of Dnopolje
was the Vojnovic family, consisting of the parents,
Djoko and Nikolina, and their three sons, Luka (7),
Miroslav (5), and Djordje (2).
We helped this young and hard working family by
purchasing material and elements for bathroom fit
out.
Kljajic family members together with organization
representatives
The last family we helped in the area of Donji Lapac was
the family of Sasa and Kristina Balac. There are three
children in the Balac family: Gorana (14), Nemanja

future cattle farm, and a gas electric combination
stove.

Madjeric family from the village of Vojisnica near
Vojnic.
The family consists of the parents, Mile and Biljana,
and the children, Dragan (12) and Dragana (10).
Unfortunately, Dragan has serious health problems,
caused by doctors’ error when he was born and after that
Dragan’s health was irreversibly ruined.
We provided the hard working householder, Mile,
with a used wood splitter, which he will be able to use
for providing additional income for his troubled family.

We continued our journey towards Glina and the village
of Drenovac, where we visited the Arbutina family.
We had previously helped this family as part of our
Easter action by purchasing construction material. This
time, we helped the Arbutinas by purchasing
plasterboards, so they could finish work inside their
newly built house, whose construction had been started
thanks to our donation in the previous action.
Unfortunately, one of the children in the Arbutina family
also has serious health problems. The parents, Zoran
and Ljiljana, have four lovely daughters, Sara (10),
Petra (8), and the twins, Martina and Nikolina (3).

consisting of the parents, Nikola and Dragana, and their
children, Dejana (14) and Zoran (12). They live near
Dvor na Uni and we had visited them earlier during the
Easter action. Because of that, and having little time, we
could not visit the Tadic family personally this time, but
they sent us their greetings, thanking us for the delivery
of the washing machine with a water tank.

We had helped this very hard working family several
times before by purchasing construction material and on
this occasion we saw the results of their hard work.

What once was completely unfitted second floor with
bare walls now is a space with real and cozy
children’s rooms for the three youngest Sestic family
members. In order for them to be ready for the start of
the school year and the upcoming cold days, we
provided them with a wood-burning stove, which can
heat the entire floor with the rooms where Milica (11),
Milos (9), and Radovan (7) sleep.

New challenges are already ahead of us at the beginning
of the next year in the new Christmas action, so we hope
that each successfully conducted action, as was this one,
will stimulate even more people to support our constant
charity activities in the area of Krajina. We would like
to take this opportunity to thank the priesthood of
the Dalmatia and Upper Karlovac Dioceses for their
efforts and dedication.
Youngest Sestic family members moved into their newly
furnished rooms
This action successfully concluded all our planned
activities in the area of Krajina for 2015. We hope that
we succeeded to some extent in improving living
conditions for the young ones, but also for their parents.
The problems that our people faces daily in the area of
Krajina have not changed and we will not point them out
this time.
With faith in God!

Additional farm expansion will provide a secure job for
six workers, and the income made from selling milk and
dairy products will be used for ensuring the unobstructed
work of soup kitchens in Kosmet, which daily provide
meal for over 2,000 people.
The day before the farm opening, the NGO “Majka
devet Jugovica” had celebrated its Slava, Nativity of the
Virgin, known as Mala Gospojina at the Gracanica
Monastery. The president of the organization, presbytera
Svetlana Stevic, addressed the people present at the farm
opening in Novo Brdo, saying: “Thank you, brothers and
sisters, for your wholehearted support. You are our
backbone through difficult times, which are inevitably
part of every work. Thank you for joining us in feeding,
clothing and putting roofs over the heads of the suffering
Serbian people, who appreciates it very much. And, we
pray to the Lord, who sees it, to reward your good
deeds.”
Goats and sheep are put in the same facility
There are also chickens, hens and turkeys on the farm
Big threshing barn was also built through the donation
of the organization Serbs for Serbs

Thanks to donors and friends of the organization, the

charity and economic projects aimed at helping Serbian
people throughout Kosmet, in order to provide a safe
future for the remaining Serbian people in this sacred but

COW FOR LAZAREVIC FAMILY
FROM OZREN
www.serbsforserbs.org 2015
To show how much this means to them, they built a
stable and prepared baled hay while waiting.
The Charity organization Serbs for Serbs helped the
nine-member Lazarevic family from the village of
Okoliste near Doboj. The parents, Sladjan and Ruzica,
have five children: Zeljko (10), Bojana (9), Zeljana(7),
Slavica (5), and Darko (3). Sladjan’s mother, Milenka,
and his sister Vedrana, who is eight years old, also live
with them in the same household. Our last visit to the
Lazarevic family was in April, when we agreed on
providing them a cow, which we purchased for 2,250
BAM.
Father Sladjan with his children, welcoming the cow
The Lazarevic family is on a very tight budget. Sladjan
earns a small income, working as a seasonal worker in
the “Sume Republike Srpske” company (SRS), and that
is how he is trying to provide for his family.
Wishing to increase their income, they addressed us with
an appeal to provide them a cow.
With the financial help of donors, the Charity
organization Serbs for Serbs bought the cow, which the
Lazarevic family had found in the nearby village.

BIG AID FOR MIHAJLOVIC FAMILY
FROM SRPSKA
The Charity organization SERBS FOR SERBS
successfully finished the project of helping the sevenmember Mihajlovic family from Ugljevik in the
Republic of Srpska. The project consisted of having their
house insulated and painted and gutters and drainpipes
installed. Apart from that, PVC windows were installed
to prevent further deterioration of the house. The father
of the family, Nenad (45), is a former volunteer of the
Army of the Republic of Srpska. The mother, Renata
(36), unfortunately has serious health problems. They
are struggling to provide for their five children:
Nemanja (13), Zeljana (8), Jovana (6), and the twins,
Dajana and Srdjan (4), who have speech difficulties.
Youngest Mihajlovic family members at their home
(January 2015)
The organization SERBS FOR SERBS has helped the
family three times so far. The first time was in 2012
when we took part in the action of the house
construction, initiated by the Nemanjici-Ticino
organization.
www.serbsforserbs.org 2015
The second time as part of the Easter action of our
organization in the Republic of Srpska, and the third
time in December 2014, when answering the appeal of
their humane fellow townspeople, we provided them
with a package of basic groceries and some winter
clothes in the amount of 529.28 BAM. The situation
required an urgent reaction considering the fact that,
unfortunately, the family is often starving, and the
children are often getting sick due to hunger and cold.
Warm boots and winter clothes for the youngest
Mihajlovic family members
The house where the Mihajlovic family lives is
unfinished, so the whole family stays in one room. Due
to lack of beds, some of them sleep on the floor.
The ground around the house wasn’t graded properly
and is lower than the surrounding ground, so they have
problems with water collecting around the house.
This leads to the house having mold, and the children
having colds and not being able to spend time outside.

Nemanja’s biggest wish is to have a room of his own,
where he could study and do drawing, which is his
favorite hobby. Željana doesn’t have a room to study in
either, because there is no heating or furniture in other
rooms.

Mihajlovic family at the beginning of the year
In order to prevent further deterioration of the house,
during July and August, the organization financed the
insulation, house painting, installing gutters and
drainpipes, fixing the roof, installing PVC windows
and interior doors upstairs, in the amount of 5,139
BAM.
All this will prevent mold and it will also enable easier
and more economical heating of all the rooms in the
house. It will also be possible to continue with the work
on the inside of the house, so the children could have
their rooms and space for playing and studying.

NEW BATHROOM FOR VOJNICS IN

On this occasion we thank our friends from the Sport
Alliance of Boljevac Municipality.
All the sponsors and people of good will from Boljevac
who made joint effort and contributed to keeping one of
the most successful tournaments “Trojka iz bloka”
and to realize the goal we all set before the tournament –
to help the Vojnics.
Members of family Vojnic in their home with the
representatives of the organization
On Saturday, September 26, representatives of the
organization SERBS FOR SERBS conducted a working
visit to Boljevac.
The reason for visiting this beautiful place located at the
foot of the mountain Rtanj was very nice – only a month
and a half after the second annual “Trojka iz bloka” in a
row was held, the works on reconstruction and
equipping of the bathroom for family Vojnic came to
an end and thus marked the end of action of help to this
seven-member family!
Family Vojnic consists of father Sinisa and mother
Sladjana with their five daughters – Sandra (20), Sanja
(16), Sara (13), Saska (9) and Sofija (3).

However, the best came right before the end of the
reconstruction of the bathroom for Vojnics.
The biggest and greatest verification that “Trojka iz
bloka” leaves nobody indifferent, whether people who
are helping or the ones who are being helped, came from
family Milosavljevic from the Lukovo village near
Boljevac, whom we also helped in building and
equipping the bathroom and by providing a cow and
a calf after the first “Trojka iz bloka” help in this town.

the desire to donate the calf which we bought for them
last year, and which grew up into a healthy heifer, to the
Vojnics in order to contribute and help others in the
same manner help was offered to them.
Precisely these gestures, when one socially
disadvantaged family “stands on its feet” and become a
donor to another socially disadvantaged family,
represent the peak of our work because they send clear
message to us and our friends and donors worldwide that
the mission of the Charity organization SERBS FOR
SERBS is not only an ideal to which we aim, but the
goal we can surely achieve together! With God’s help,
we will shoot three-pointers the next year again and help
the socially disadvantaged families in Boljevac and its
surrounding.

competition, about 55 of them participated, and 1,047
BAM and 30 Euros were raised! This big aid was

The Charity organization Serbs for Serbs would like to
thank all proud sponsors, donors and technical sponsors
who contributed to the fact that the tournament in Pale
started a new tradition of tournaments in the Republic of
Srpska in the best possible way.
Big and significant support came from our sponsors in
Pale: Kristal Hotel, Rinaldi Restaurant, “Aquarius”
Café, Pale Municipality, “INLingua” Language
Center, MIN printing, ZOO VET vet clinic, Klas
Bakery, Milkus D.O.O., “Majnex” D.O.O., Pale
Sports-Cultural Center and Sarajevo invest. The
“Peki” Sports Center was the technical sponsor of the
tournament; “INLingua” Language Center gave oneyear course of foreign languages to one child from the
Mandic family, while the “Majnex” D.O.O. made a
donation consisting of blocks for bathroom construction
for the Mandic family.
We would like to thank the good people from Pale
because they showed everybody how we should care for
our disadvantaged neighbors!
We were proud to be in this famous town and we cannot
wait for the next season of outdoor tournaments, when
we plan on visiting many more towns and cities in our
Republic of Srpska!
As always at the “Trojka iz Bloka” Tournaments, we
prepared a few surprises. Legendary Belgrade DJ, Paja
Koba33, was with us and played foreign and domestic
hits during the tournament and provided music
background for two young rappers who came with us
from Serbia: Uncle Dzo and Eldorado. Young theologian
Uncle Dzo has been a part of the “Trojka iz Bloka”
mission for a very long time, and this time he brought
backup at the microphone – his friend and colleague
Eldorado. Young Pale residents were delighted by the
performance of their favorite rappers, and everybody at
the hall was waiting impatiently for the special spectacle
which was part of the tournament – performance of the
“Romanija” Karate Club members.

They have invited us to attend one of their church events

foreign exchange account were opened, through which
the organization would collect donations in Montenegro
for helping the socially disadvantaged Serbian families.
