Thanks to our donors:

— Children battling cancer received medicines, single-use medical devices, and diagnostic procedures worth $93,730. This month, 233 families received this type of targeted support — a new record for the Foundation.

Month by month, more families turn to us for help covering the cost of medicines and tests that, for various reasons, are not provided free of charge. When these costs are beyond a family’s reach, donor support becomes their only source of strength and hope that their child can overcome the disease.

— Five hospitals received medicines and medical supplies worth $71,270. We provide them with medicines and supplies that are either not covered by the state or delayed in delivery.

Another $12,700 was directed toward improving hospital infrastructure. This includes cleaning and disinfection supplies donated in-kind by a partner. Cleanliness in oncology departments is vital, as children undergoing cancer treatment are highly vulnerable to infections.

In addition, we delivered two washing machines and two dryers to the hematology department of Okhmatdyt National Children’s Specialized Hospital. They help maintain proper hygiene conditions.

— In January, 132 medical professionals gained new knowledge and skills, as well as financial support, with a total investment of $24,630.

Doctors attended conferences and training sessions, pursued management education, and studied English to access the latest research in their field and build connections with international colleagues. We invest in the continuous development of medical professionals so that children can receive better care.

— $34,780 was directed toward palliative care for families facing incurable cancers or severe complications in children.

Families going through one of the most difficult periods in their lives need medicines, care supplies, and consultations with specialists. We also help address everyday challenges and fulfill wishes. Not every child can be cured, but every child can be supported to live without pain and in comfort until the very end.

— $16,980 was directed toward supporting the mental health of children and families under the Foundation’s care. Psychologists help families facing a child’s serious illness — while also dealing with the impact of war — cope with intense stress and find new sources of strength.

— $14,920 covered the costs of the Survivorship Care Program. In January, two camps were held in Kyiv and Lviv for teenagers who have overcome cancer.

Cancer is not only about physical challenges. It also means long periods of isolation and lost social skills during treatment. At the camps, children learn how to connect again, build relationships, and open up to others

We stay by children and their families even after cancer is gone — when its consequences remain.

— Another $4,870 was directed toward emotional support for children currently staying in hospitals. As part of the Hospital Quality of Life Program, we organize celebrations, beauty days, and discharge moments, and give gifts to help children and their parents feel less alone and experience moments of joy.

— $12,500 covered the costs of outpatient housing in Kyiv and Lviv.

During cancer treatment, children go through different stages. At some points, they no longer need to stay in the hospital full-time, but still need to come in frequently for procedures and tests — sometimes even every day.

In such cases, outpatient apartments provide support. These are places where families (a child and one parent) can stay if they are unable to rent housing in the city where the child is receiving treatment.

— $10,770 covered treatment and support for families abroad. This includes assistance with evacuation and return home (including transport by intensive care ambulance when needed), translation of medical records, shipment of biological samples for testing, and doctors’ consultations during evacuation. We stay by children and families wherever they are.

— $9,200 was directed toward covering non-medical assistance for families in dire straits. Within this program, we support families with clothing, food, and urgent everyday needs.

For families with children who have incurable diseases, we also provide items that help them get through long power outages — power banks, generators, and charging stations. In the middle of winter, when freezing temperatures hit Ukraine and Russia intensified attacks on critical infrastructure, this support became vital — especially for children who rely on medical devices to breathe.

All of this was made possible thanks to you — people with big hearts. You can find our detailed financial report at the link below, with full information about our expenses and income.

Thank you for choosing to stand by children who are facing two wars at once — in their country and against cancer. Because of you, they receive treatment, support, and the strength to keep going every day.
