The greatest pride of Ana’s Little Star is the children and young people. Thousands of them help,
participate and even start charity campaigns on their own initiative. Our greatest success is when
children and young people want to be little stars, too. They are our future and we can depend on
them.

Thank you very much, the children will have something to eat during the holidays. You made us so happy with your help, especially the children because they will not go hungry at Christmas time. Every little bit of your help makes us very happy. Ana’s Little Star, thank you so much for your help, especially Mrs. Ana.

I have received your shipment, which gave myself and my daughter so much joy. Yesterday, the postman brought the gift certificates. My daughter and I drove to Maribor, where I was able to buy everything we were short of, because you were so generous, we were able to buy lots with the vouchers and they came in very handy because we didn't even have food or basic hygiene products left, so thank you, also for being so quick, really thank you so much. Thanks again and we wish you all the best.

Beauty is life when life unveils her holy face. But you are life and you are the veil. Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. But you are eternity and you are the mirror. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the beautiful gift (the gift card), with your help, we were also able to buy foods we didn’t have (meat, potatoes, spices, etc.) and because of this, the days will be brighter for my children. Thank you so so much.

My pantry hasn’t been so full for a long time. For a long time, I hid it from my children that there was no money, until last December I managed to make ends meet, at least there was food on the table, but this year, things no longer worked out. I do try to grow all our vegetables at home and we also have some fruit. Today, however, we were able to fill the pantry with your help. I won’t have to worry about the children getting hungry for a while. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I know that one day, I will get out of this rut, and then I will reciprocate what you have done for me and help other families in need.

Dear Mrs. Ana. Thank you a thousand times, a million times really for helping our family. The children and my husband and I were happy from the bottom of our hearts. Their faces lit up as they saw the goods. Thank you for being there and helping. Sending you a big hug and wishing you all the best.

Dear Ana and all other little stars. I could not get in touch sooner. I would just like to thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for everything that we received. So much of everything. I could have stocked up for a while, but I didn't. Because my heart wouldn't let me. I shared what we received with two other families who are also struggling to get by this month. Please don’t be angry with me. Because I couldn’t keep everything. The thought of having more than we needed at the moment would not have sat well with me. So I can tell you that you made three families happy with the care package for my family. It was enough to go round, just enough for everyone so no one will go hungry. Thank you for being there. Thank you for helping us in our time of need and for not looking down on us like the vast majority. Because we are alone and, according to them, we are to blame that we were left without jobs, without violent partners, on benefits, which just about cover the rent and bills. Sometimes not even that. Thank you for being by our side. Thank you for your help, which also made it possible for me to share with others. Kind greetings.

Dear Ana, I can't help but write this to you. Thank you so much for the package, it’s more than excellent, you really think of everything and the packages are great!! Thank you for your kindness and I want to say kudos to you for helping people in need at such times of hardship! Best regards.

Hello. My daughter and I just unpacked two big boxes of food, care supplies ... Even though my daughter should have been in bed, she was so happy putting things into the cupboard that I can’t tell you how happy it makes us that our cupboard is full. I will find it hard to sleep tonight, happy that there are still good people like you in this world. Thank you very much once again, you are as good as gold. All the best.

Dear Ana, I apologize for writing you so late but sometimes I just collapse in the evening and fall asleep with the little one. Last night was such a surprise and shock. I could barely hold back my tears. I never imagined even remotely that you would help us so much and save us for a substantial amount of time. I thought you were maybe going to contribute a few little things just so we could make ends meet. But you made us absolutely delighted and helped us in a very tangible way. Writing this, I now have that same feeling and tears are just rolling down my face. Tears of happiness and gratitude. No words would ever be enough or able to describe this overwhelming happiness and gratitude. You made it a lot easier for us to get through this hardship, it makes us able to do more than we could otherwise. Thank you so much to the moon and back and a million times over. We will never forget your help .... From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, thank you, thank you .... And the tears of happiness are here again.... Please accept our heartfelt thanks.

A collaboration of hearts
Here is what our donors say
Ana’s Little Star is much more than just a charity that distributes food. Above all, Ana’s work and personality are an example for all of us to aspire to, making us wish to become even better. Better towards ourselves and fellow human beings. This made our decision when searching for a charity partner very easy to make. Ana’s Little Star is a synonym for kindness as well as for transparency and honesty, so it was our great pleasure to collaborate with them.
Vanda Magdič Gorenčič, Marketing & PR, McDonald’s Slovenia
The plight of people touches us all and we wish to help out. At such times, it is very helpful for us to have a charity as a partner that we trust, knowing that things will indeed go to those who truly need them. Orbico has collaborated with Ana's Little Star on many different projects – donating food, toys, nappies… Working with Ana and her little stars is heartwarming and constructive. It’s nice to see how much can be done when we stand together, sharing the same goal.
Andreja Fras Martini, marketing manager, Orbico d.o.o.
The Police are always happy to join sincere initiatives to help fellow human beings in need, so we have repeatedly supported Ana's Little Star and collected several tons of food each time, with the charity campaign bringing us even closer together. We support all humanitarian campaigns that make daily life easier for people and to bring back the joy in life, and therefore send a strong contingent to the humanitarian activities of Zavod za pomoč socialno ogroženim, Anina zvezdica, and especially our thanks for bringing people together in its heartwarming and volunteering pursuits and encouraging their kindness, which always helps connect society.

The warm-heartedness and transparency of the values of Ana’s Little Star and their consistency with those of OMV are the key factors of our successful collaboration. In the project, we recognized the potential in developing our socially responsible activities. This applies both to our employees as well as the OMV SMILE & DRIVE Loyalty Club and its long-standing members – in our opinion, we have done a lot of good together and helped many families through Ana's Little Star. It is our wish to give back to the community where we operate, and we are proud to be part of the story created by the Ana’s Little Star project.
Robert Dežman, marketing manager, OMV Slovenia
We believe that small gestures are an important part of life as they can make life easier for many. Often taken for granted, the little things can brighten the day for many people in difficult times. Being part of the Ana's Little Star program is something amazing as it allows us to help with food donations to the best of our ability.

The BTC company is one of the most prominent supporters of wider social projects in Slovenia, and for 10 years now, it has also been supporting the exceptional Ana’s Little Star project, housed on our premises at BTC City Ljubljana. It makes us proud that, as employees, we continuously help by collecting food and other goods, so we will definitely remain part and parcel of this unique project. Our freshly launched long-term strategy will rest on elements of new business transformation and company progress while incorporating social dimensions and participating in numerous socially responsible projects. Only in this way, Ana's Little Star will never go out and, hand in hand, we will be able to put the human being to the foreground.
Jože Mermal, Chairman of the Board of Directors of BTC d.d.
As a socially responsible company, we know how to listen to the needs of society in which we operate. In doing so, we are aware that help is most important when suffering is greatest. We consider our collaboration with Ana's Little Star as paramount because it helps us contribute to easier and better life for socially deprived families and, consequently, future generations. Every project created in the scope of Ana's Little Star is heart-warming: and for this reason, we are proud to join forces and share the results of our successful business amongst those who need our help the most.

Young people on the Škis Fair team have been collaborating with Ana’s Little Star for several years and, in each year, we are absolutely delighted to be able to help families in need. By raising charitable awareness among young people and by collaborating with Ana’s Little Star, Škis Fair has been able to make daily life better for many in need of help. Professional attitude, good communication, transparent operation and happy faces are all an added bonus when working with Ana’s Little Star.

A young, driven, kind-hearted team full of positive energy; these are the words that describe Ana and the other little stars. We know that they do this noble work in addition to their jobs, in their free time and specifically for those in need of help. That is why we are happy to support them on their path to sincere charity.

The wish of Ana’s Little Star is to help people. This is a universal desire that reflects many of the values of Delavska hranilnica; we therefore support your work with happiness and pride. At a time when trust is not to be taken for granted, we especially appreciate your commitment to ethical and transparent operations. We wish you to remain steadfast in this principle.

dm drogeriemarkt d.o.o. decided to collaborate with Ana's Little Star since we already have a well-developed strategy for donating products offered at our stores; in this way, we provide hands-on assistance with things needed in times of hardship. Our collaboration with the Ana’s Little Star organization was highly transparent, pleasant and to mutual satisfaction.

At Radenska, we like collaborating with Ana's Little Star, because WE CAN TRUST the activities and the girls we work with! We get a lot of requests and offers to participate in charity projects – but the simplest things are usually the most honest. We also like the fact that we can also invite our employees to participate and help the best they can ... but when we put it all together, they can see that their contribution has given rise to something big… and of course ... the thanks we receive ... the good feeling when you know that you have made a difference to someone.
