“If I live to see tomorrow, we will continue to do our job,” wrote Jerzy Owsiak after someone outright threatened him with death. Everyone can support those in need in their own way. We at TVN and TVN24 support the Orchestra from the heart. This is a reason to be happy every year that we play together. If only by looking at our children, millions of us have reason to be grateful to this Orchestra. For several days, the media associated with PiS have been conducting an action against the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity and its head, at the same time appealing for donations for their own activities. It's not the first time someone is raising money for their business, but it's the first time they're calling for money to be donated to the business and not to sick children.
– Let them come here and tell us parents, who are fighting for their lives together with their children, that it makes no sense, that it is not a noble goal – says Mrs. Emila Pawlak, Klara's mother. – When I saw her here, I felt such helplessness, powerlessness, and at the same time gratitude that she was alive, that there was a box that kept my child alive. This heart of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity was enough for me. It's as if someone close to me was there and said: “ok, don't worry, it'll be fine,” he recalls.
Even if it were one saved child and one mother's story, they should at least persuade a decent person to remain silent, but they do not persuade some people. – A great meme was created that it is not Owsiak who collects money for children, but children for Owsiak – says the editor-in-chief of Telewizja Republika, Tomasz Sakiewicz, and promotes the station's campaign “I don't give to Owsiak, I support Republika”.

Sakiewicz, who organizes the collection, discouraging the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity, is organizing a New Year's Eve party for a lot of money.
She used to thank him for his help, now she criticizes Owsiak
Danuta Holecka, presenter of TV Republika, several years ago on TVP Info expressed her gratitude to Jerzy Owsiak for the help that the WOŚP foundation provided to her son.
– Many years ago, my son himself used an incubator, well equipped with yours. It was also with the heart of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity. Thank you very much for that – he says in the archival recording.
Now, however, he is also boycotting WOŚP. – Of course, I am constantly persecuted because I once supported Owsiak – says Holecka.
– If anyone sees this falsehood of Owsiak, let him support those who take care of this infrastructure of the independence camp. And these are the parties from which money was taken and they probably won't give it back. And these are also media like ours, says Jacek Karnowski, head of wPolsce24 TV, which supports PiS.

Threats against Owsiak
The mayor of Gdańsk, Paweł Adamowicz, was murdered during the finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity. Jerzy Owsiak receives the same threats that he received before the murder. “You have to shoot him, he's… one of them” – these were the words one of the people calling the Foundation said to Owsiak. “It has been similar for several days. Very specific threats, with a bomb in the background and the disposal of my person,” we read in the entry by the head of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity.

Owsiak's actions were controlled as he collected money for the weakest, youngest and oldest. All this was and is admirable and has been proven by all the inspections carried out under various governments.
