Thanks to our donors:

— Children undergoing treatment in Ukraine received the necessary medicines, including those from abroad, single-use medical devices, and underwent examinations worth $107,863. The state does not procure these medicines and procedures, but they are necessary for recovery. 

— $126,139 was allocated to supporting Ukrainian hospitals. Thanks to donors and partners, the Foundation buys medicines and supplies, and improves treatment conditions. In particular:

• In October, we paid $19,917 for reagents for genetic diagnostics for the National Cancer Institute. They allow doctors to examine tumors as accurately as possible and thus prescribe medications that are effective in a particular case. Previously, such studies had to be done abroad.
• The total cost of these reagents, which were paid for during the year, is almost $180,000. Most of it — $130,000 — was allocated by our partner Direct Relief. Another $48,000 is a grant from the GlobalGiving organization. Thank you! Accurate diagnosis is essential for the successful treatment of childhood cancer.

— $35,684 was spent on doctors’ internships and financial support within the program of support and continuous professional development of the medical personnel. 168 medics took part in the program’s activities in October. Medical training is one of our strategic projects, as it contributes to the development of the entire field of pediatric oncology in Ukraine.

— Tabletochki allocated $26,809 to the Foundation’s palliative care program. Not all children can be cured of cancer, but all can be helped. We organize consultations with doctors and psychologists, classes with rehabilitation therapists, provide medicines and necessary items for care, and make dreams come true.

— $13,261 was allocated to outpatient apartments in Kyiv and Lviv for non-local families discharged from the hospital but still need frequent tests and procedures.

— $11,518 was spent on psychological assistance for children and their families. Professional help supports families under severe stress and strengthens them to fight the disease. 

— $19,881 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 $2,682 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 $28,772.

The Foundation’s maintenance expenses in October 2023 were 17%.

These expenses increased in October due to the cost of implementing a new CRM system designed to improve data collection and analysis, thus increasing work efficiency. For this purpose, the Foundation attracted targeted grant funding.
