"Our neighbors are in trouble. The flood took everything away from them. Some were left without families and loved ones, others have no access to drinking water, warm clothes and blankets. We are deeply saddened by the grief of Russian people and condole with the victims. We kindly ask all Kazakhstanis to show mercy to their neighbors," statement of the Kazakhstani volunteer movement "Share the Light" reads.

Organizers of the campaign say everybody who is willing to donate is welcome at the following address: 86, Bogenbay Street, office 503, Almaty. The container with donated staff will be sent to the town of Krymsk on Wednesday (July 18).
