We would like to request your support for a vital cause that holds a special place in the hearts of our community. The Maxim Gorky Library and Cinema have been cherished hubs of culture, education, and entertainment for decades. However, the wear and tear of time, compounded by a severe leak during the last winter, have left these beloved institutions in desperate need of restoration. Our mission is clear: to breathe new life into the Maksim Gorky Library and Cinema, ensuring that they remain vibrant centers of inspiration and knowledge for generations to come. We invite you to be a part of this transformative journey by contributing to our donation campaign. Why Your Support Matters: Library Renovation: Our library has been a source of education and enlightenment for our community. But, over the years, it has suffered from dilapidation, a lack of modern resources, and an aging infrastructure. With your help, we can renovate the library, create inviting reading spaces, and update our collection with the latest books and digital resources. Restoration of the Cinema: The Maxim Gorky Cinema has been a source of joy and cultural enrichment, screening classic and contemporary films. Unfortunately, it has also fallen into disrepair. Your donation will help restore this cinema to its former glory, providing a space where our community can come together to appreciate the magic of film. Ceiling and Wall Repairs: The library and cinema's ceilings and walls were severely damaged by a winter leak, jeopardizing the safety and comfort of our patrons. Your contribution will allow us to address these critical repairs, ensuring a secure and welcoming environment. Your generosity will not only help restore the Maxim Gorky Library and Cinema but will also preserve the cultural heritage and community spirit they represent. We sincerely appreciate your consideration of this important cause and look forward to your support. Together, we can make a difference.

A peaceful Saturday in Palestine has erupted into a humanitarian crisis. As of 10/12, more than 1400 people including at least 150 children have lost their precious lives and more than 6200 have been injured. Hospitals and emergency relief efforts, already strained for resources, are now scrambling to save lives without power, fuel, water, medical equipment and basic human needs. In such a situation, the inherently vulnerable: the critically ill, children, families, and the elderly are most at risk and in need of support. Let us support them to help us bring hope to the Holy Land. Every second that passes is urgent and each moment is a chance to make a difference. NOTE: MongoDB only matched donations till Dec 2023.

Those of us with close family and friends in Israel appreciate how many of you have already reached out to check on us and show your support. As I’m sure most have heard, on Saturday morning Hamas terrorists launched a coordinated attack on Israel, just as many of us around the world were beginning to celebrate the Sabbath and the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah. Bear in mind the situation is rapidly changing and official figures may change, but the brutal attacks have reportedly included countless missiles and a land invasion that has left over 700 dead, 2000 injured, and more than 100 kidnapped as hostages and taken to Gaza. To put these horrific events into perspective, recall that Israel is a small country with under 10 million people. Several of the victims also include citizens of the US, UK, and other nations around the world. Figuring out how to support the innocent victims of a war so far away can bring a feeling of helplessness, so we wanted to share some actions you can take: - Reach out to your Jewish friends to check in and show support. A large number of us have friends, family, and other ties to Israel - Stay informed and consume media from a variety of sources. Read the heartbreaking stories and try to comprehend the impact to millions of innocent lives - Donate to valuable causes and submit for your company match. Israel is in an all-hands-on-deck situation right now, and supporting life-saving organizations can help from afar Thank you for your support 💙
