Thanks to our donors:

— Children received the necessary medicines, including those from abroad, single-use medical devices, and underwent examinations worth $148,136. Targeted assistance is significant for recovery because children often need medicines and procedures that are not available in public procurement.

— $86,760 were allocated to supporting Ukrainian hospitals. Thanks to donors and partners, the Foundation purchases medicines and supplies not only for families but also for children’s oncology departments. We are also improving treatment conditions. 

In particular:

• In September, an outpatient space was opened at the Western Ukrainian Specialized Children’s Medical Center in Lviv. It includes three offices, a reception area with a medical registrar who directs patients, a manipulation room, a spacious waiting room, a children’s area, a document archive, and a hygiene room. Previously, outpatients were seen in only one office. This caused queues and crowds, which were especially dangerous for children with weakened immune systems. Now, several patients are seen here simultaneously, and “one-day” chemotherapy is also available. The project’s total cost is $84,290 (payments were made in installments throughout the year). Most of the amount was raised as part of a campaign with the ATB-Market chain of stores.
• Also in September, the Foundation purchased and installed an uninterruptible power supply for a computed tomography machine at Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital for $14,158. After that the device purchased with public funds could be launched.

— $41,299 was spent on doctors’ internships and financial support within the program of support and continuous professional development of the medical personnel. 126 medics took part in the program’s activities in September. Despite the Russian full-scale invasion, supporting doctors remains our strategic project because medical professionals drive change in pediatric oncology.

— Tabletochki allocated $26,665 to the Foundation’s palliative care program. We support children who cannot be cured so that they can live without pain and in comfort until the end. We organize consultations with doctors and psychologists, classes with rehabilitation therapists, provide medicines and necessary items for care, and make dreams come true.

— $20,327 was allocated to outpatient apartments in Kyiv and Lviv for non-local families discharged from the hospital but still need frequent tests and procedures. At this stage of treatment, the families are financially exhausted and cannot afford to rent their housing.

— $14,714 was spent on psychological assistance for children and their families. Cancer treatment is a constant stress. Professional help helps families cope with it and gives them the strength to fight. We organize group and individual psychological consultations for parents and children.

— $16,172 was allocated to the Child Life program. Children fighting cancer are, first and foremost, just children. To have the strength to overcome the disease, they need positive emotions. That is why the Foundation organizes creative workshops, festive discharges from the hospital, gifts, camps, and communication clubs after treatment.

— Those children with cancer who could not receive all the required treatment in Ukraine were evacuated abroad. The expenses were $2,775 and included transfers in Ukraine and abroad, translation of medical documents, and one-time financial assistance that covered expenses appearing due to a sudden relocation. 

— Families of children with cancer being abroad received financial and household assistance for $33,876.

The Foundation’s maintenance expenses in September 2023 were 12.7%
