Treatment and support of families abroad

Cancer has not paused during the war. Instead, it made life even more difficult for families whose children have cancer.

After the full-scale Russian invasion, Tabletochki actively evacuated children with cancer abroad and supported families who were forced to leave.

What is needed to evacuate a child?

The child’s doctor should contact the Western Ukrainian Specialized Children’s Medical Center in Lviv. You can write at the e-mail address [email protected] or via Viber at +38 (068) 939 03 49.

The Foundation helps form lists of children for evacuation based on doctors’ decisions, provides informational support for families of children with cancer who need evacuation and helps financially, for example, by paying for tickets to Lviv.

Importantly

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

Tabletochki also does not cover the cost of treatment of children abroad. In the case of citizens of Ukraine receiving temporary protected status in the EU, it is free of charge.

How we can help:

• to pay for the trip to Lviv and accommodation in a rented apartment until the moment of evacuation
• pay for tickets to return to Ukraine and for control visits
• translate medical records and other documents
• help with finding a clinic in Ukraine to continue treatment
• allocate financial assistance within three months of returning to Ukraine if the family’s home is destroyed, occupied or in the territory where active hostilities are taking place, or in the zone of forced evacuation
• allocate financial assistance to congratulate children on their birthday
• provide psychological support
• informational support
• send samples of biomaterials for diagnosis abroad (with a referral from Ukrainian doctors)
• to pay for tests and examinations that are not carried out in Ukraine (provided that Ukrainian doctors have confirmed their necessity)

Remember – Tabletochki is next to you in difficult moments.
