Thanks to our donors:

— Children received the necessary medicines, including those from abroad, single-use medical devices, and underwent examinations worth $135,184. Targeted assistance is significant for recovery because children often need medicines and procedures that are not available in public procurement.

— $123,858 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 July, we paid $24,838 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, 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.
• In July, we paid $25,711 for reagents for tests for Okhmatdyt National Children’s Hospital patients. It is a part of a large project to purchase reagents for $96,272. The money was raised in a joint campaign with the ICU investment group. We thank everyone who contributed!
• This month, another $11,491 was spent to purchase ten fan coils — air conditioning devices for the Okhmatdyt National Children’s Hospital. In October, another payment of $2,872 was made, bringing the total cost of the devices and their installation to $14,363.

— $23,019 was spent on doctors’ internships and financial support within the program of support and continuous professional development of the medical personnel. 140 medics took part in the program’s activities in July. Despite the Russian full-scale invasion, supporting doctors remains our strategic project because medical professionals drive change in pediatric oncology.

— Tabletochki allocated $31,061 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.

— $15,246 was allocated to outpatient apartments in Kyiv and Lviv for non-local families discharged from the hospital but still need frequent tests and procedures.

— $9,756 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.

— $23,727 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 $2,796 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 $40,388.

The Foundation’s maintenance expenses in July 2023 were 10.2%
