The pandemic has put many people out of work. Needy people. However, the good has found its way to them in the face of many foundations and social media groups. They have joined forces, they have helped and continue to help those in need. In the difficult situation, however, there were those who abused the kindness of the donors. As it happened in the following story. Tina Ivaylova talks about a family that has been living off donations for three years and is especially active in cheating in the difficult days of the pandemic.
Magdalena Rusanova’s family, her husband and their five children, lived entirely on donations for a long time. Up to this point. A few days ago, two foundations – “For people with a big heart” and “Lend a hand”, as well as the Facebook group – “Mothers in Need” realized that they help large families with the same things.

The version of the needy on his nearly 30 social media profiles is the same.
“The house has burned down, the mother’s lung is folded, but makeup is very important to Mimito. These are products that can be easily sold. So your real interest is in things that are small luxury and can be sold quickly. They are not interested in anything else. Laptops, phones, a hair straightener, a hair dryer or a vacuum cleaner are things they desperately need, “said Julia Stoyanova of” Mothers in Need. “
It is clear that one of Magdalena’s daughters, Rumyana, appears on the social network as Mimito Ivanova. “Unfortunately, at first I did not believe that people would abuse food. Separately, the bad thing is that together with those people who abuse some really needy, they lose this. And when a person is disappointed, they stop helping,” explained Milan Ivanov from “People with a Big Heart”.
“They use their children often. They create false profiles with their names. For almost a year, she and all her relatives have contacted our organization. They write to us absolutely every day with several requests for help from food, payment of electricity bills, makeup, clothes and coffee machines, and 90% of the things they say are lies, says Radostin Georgiev of “Give a Hand.”

“They constantly give different directions, they constantly say that something has happened. Has the house burned down, is the mother sick, is there a problem with the liver, is there a problem with the legs? He cannot get up, he cannot walk. It’s different every time, “he added.
Is Magdalena’s family in dire need and since when have they been cheating? The NOVA team searched for the answers to these questions. We went to various towns in different parts of our country. First, in the village of Chervena. There, the people of our team learned that Magdalena’s house was on fire. We also make sure. Our staff shows it too. In front of our camera, Magdalena’s neighbors shared that they have been living like “parasites” for years, accumulating debt and stealing.
In the Sliven village of Zagortsi, a NOVA team finds Magdalena and her children in a house that they claim was given to them by her husband’s employer. Turns out there are also two rooms full of new clothes and gear. However, at the same time, the family expects new shipments and sends new messages that they need them.

Unfortunately, there are many cases of this type of abuse, donors say. Magdalena and her children promise not to lie anymore. And they keep the promise for just two days.
They were again seen on the social network seeking help. They abuse, and at the same time there are other people who really need it. Like Peter’s family. Three days ago his house in the town of Balgarene burned down and he, his wife and their two children were left on the streets. The mayor of the village has already started a campaign to hire the most important thing: construction materials to repair the burned house. A donor account is about to be opened.
