Launching our «Do Good Today» series 💫
Talented Alena Melnikova visited us — a young artist who paints with her nose.

In the rush of everyday life we often miss the remarkable people living right next to us. Recently we hosted Alena Melnikova from Verkh-Chebula — she's 20 and she paints with her nose 🌄
Despite her health challenges, Alena's paintings are always bright and joyful: vivid flowers, living landscapes, still lifes. It's hard to believe the author lives with a severe form of cerebral palsy.

The People in Comfort team was enchanted. We invited Alena to spend a few days with us in Sheregesh — at no cost — to capture the winter beauty of our region.
For three days she breathed mountain air, visited sector E, walked a lot and, most importantly, painted en plein air with her teacher Yevgenia Yumanova.
In just three hours we raised 24,260 ₽ to cover Alena's social taxi costs. Together we are strong 💪
