The Foundation helps citizens of Ukraine under the age of 18 who have oncological, hematological, and some other life-threatening diseases. In some cases, as defined by the Foundations rules, people over 18 can receive help.

To request assistance, you need to fill out and submit an online form on our website. After that, our Сoordinator will contact you within 5 business days. Please note that you should leave the child’s parents’ or legal guardians’ contact details because we will contact them directly.

You can apply for help to other charitable foundations if the child’s diagnosis does not coincide with Tabletochki Foundation impact areas. You can find the list of other non-profit organizations’ contact information on dobro.ua (Ukrainian Philanthropic Marketplace) website (see ‘Operators of help’ section).

Unfortunately, there are almost no foundations providing support to adult cancer patients in Ukraine. You can search for organizations on dobro.ua (Ukrainian philanthropic platform) in the ‘Operators of help’ section. Or reach out to cancer support communities, for example,

• Inspiration Family

• Pink Ribbon Ukraine CF

• ГО «Легені»

• Athena. Women Against Cancer

In our social media, we publish the stories of children who get the Foundation’s help. To get support from us, please fill out our online form. 

The Foundation procures medicine targeted for the specific child’s use (and requested by parents/guardians) or if requested by the Head – for the Unit that we signed a Memorandum of Cooperation with. We buy antitumor, antifungal, antibacterial, antiemetic, and other medications prescribed by the doctor. Our volunteers also help to purchase abroad medicines that are not registered in Ukraine.

The Foundation works with verified, reliable, and transparent pharmacies. We sign a standard form contract and make cashless payments. We send every procurement request to at least three different pharmacy chains and then select the one that offers the lowest price. We consider the shipping speed factor as well. That is, if a child hasn’t got much time to wait, we can buy medicines at a higher cost but with prompt delivery. If your child needs medication, please fill out an online application form.

With the help of our local volunteer groups in Austria, Spain, France, Germany, and a few other countries, we can buy and deliver from abroad the prescribed medication to children. If your child needs this kind of medication, please fill out the online form. Our Сoordinator will contact you for further clarifications within 5 business days.

Currently, the foundation does not organize paid treatment of children abroad (the exception is certain types of diagnostics in foreign laboratories). Going abroad for treatment with the help of the fund is possible only through the evacuation mechanism.

“Tabletochki” also do not cover the cost of treatment of children abroad, because in the case of citizens of Ukraine receiving temporary protection status in the EU, it is free of charge.

The Foundation does not provide recommendations for clinics or treatment of any diseases. We take these recommendations very seriously and responsibly, and Foundation’s team members are not doctors, so they are incompetent to address these matters. You should consult qualified medical specialists.

Thank you for being willing to help!

As Tabletochki Foundation does not deal with the issue of blood donation, we recommend contacting specialized organizations, such as DonorUA, or social initiatives, such as ZdaiBlood, Blood Agents.

We truly appreciate your willingness to become a blood donor. We recommend you read carefully the list of specific conditions that prevent a person from donating blood on donor.ua. Also, you can send your question to the chatbot or visit the nearest blood donation point.

Every month on our website we publish a financial report on all income and expenses. In addition, the Foundation annually submits to the tax inspection a report on the use of income (profits) of a non-profit organization. The reports are also available on our website.

Tabletochki was founded by Olga Kudinenko and Olga Shurupova. Children receive assistance through donations from individuals and legal entities. Tabletochki regularly and timely reports on its activities to all philanthropists and government agencies. All information is available on our site in the ‘Reports and documents’ section.

In 2011, assistance to children began with pills not available in Ukraine, which philanthropists brought from abroad. The initiative’s Facebook page was called ‘Tabletochki’, and later, the volunteer initiative became a foundation.

We chose the name ‘Tabletochki’ because of the meaning of the word. There are words ‘pihulka’ (pill) and ‘tabletka’ (tablet) in the Ukrainian language. These words are often used as synonyms, but these words have different meanings.

‘Pihulka’ is of Latin origin and means a pill – a ball of plastic mass, which contains medicinal substances. In the past, pharmacists produced pills individually.

‘Tabletka’ from Latin means a solid form of the drug.

These are the usual tablets of compressed powder, which are produced on an industrial scale. And children with cancer receive tablets thanks to philanthropists.
