Thanks to our donors:

— Children battling cancer received medicines, single-use medical devices, and diagnostic procedures worth $111,825. 

A total of 220 families received such targeted assistance — the highest number in the Foundation’s history. This support covered both essential medicines and rare, high-cost drugs.

For example, 8-year-old Yaroslav received blinatumomab worth $19,683, and 16-year-old Angelina received cetuximab worth $5,345. In both cases, it was the only way to continue life-saving treatment.

Your regular support ensures that families are never left alone when the medicines a child needs are unavailable in the hospital and impossible to buy on their own.

— Five hospitals received medicines and medical supplies worth $156,745.

This month, we replenished stocks of consumables for neurosurgical operations at two major hospitals: Okhmatdyt National Children’s Specialized Hospital in Kyiv and the Clinical Center of Children’s Healthcare in Lviv. These materials make brain surgeries safer, reducing the risk of losing vital functions such as walking, speaking, or learning.

$34,998 was allocated to improving hospital infrastructure, and $10,105 — to medical equipment. This included furniture for the intensive care unit and the neurosurgery operating room at the Clinical Center of Children’s Healthcare, repairs to the hospital’s oxygen station, and new laboratory equipment.

We consistently invest in creating comfortable conditions for children’s treatment and ensuring that medical professionals have everything they need to provide high-quality care.

— In November, 153 medical professionals enhanced their knowledge and skills, as well as financial support.

Doctors attended international conferences and observerships abroad, and studied English to gain access to the latest research in their fields and build connections with foreign colleagues.

Investments in medical professionals’ development amounted to $30,177.

— Another $39,434 was allocated to palliative care for families facing incurable cancer or its severe complications in children.

For families going through one of the most difficult times in their lives, we offer comprehensive support — from medicines and care supplies to assistance with daily needs and fulfilling children’s dreams.

No family should be left alone when their child enters palliative care.

— $12,641 was spent on supporting families whose children are receiving treatment abroad.

This includes assistance with evacuation and returning home, translation of medical documents, shipment of biomaterials for testing, as well as informational and legal support.

We stay close to the families we care for — no matter where they are.

— $11,582 was allocated to supporting the mental health of the Foundation’s beneficiaries.
Psychologists help families who are fighting two wars at once — the war in their country and the battle against cancer — cope with immense stress and find the strength to keep moving forward.

— $16,053 was spent on outpatient housing in Kyiv and Lviv.

During cancer treatment, a child goes through several stages. At some of them, a hospital stay is no longer required, but the child still needs to come in for daily procedures and examinations.

In such cases, outpatient apartments become a lifeline for families coming from other cities. These apartments host one child and one adult who cannot afford to rent housing in the city where the treatment takes place.

— $9,123 was allocated to the Hospital Quality of Life Program.

Families whose children are undergoing cancer treatment often spend many months in the hospital, facing uncertainty and constant stress. To help them feel less alone and bring moments of joy into their days, we organize creative workshops, celebrations, and beauty days in pediatric oncology wards.

We also give families a Care Package — a set of thoughtful items that help them adapt to a new stage of life.

— $7,525 was spent on psychosocial rehabilitation for families who have completed cancer treatment.

By creating helpful informational materials and organizing camps and activities of the teenage club Barrel of Lemonade, we help families overcome the psychological consequences of a child’s serious illness and return to everyday life.

— $7,900 covered non-medical assistance for families in dire straits. 

We provide support with clothing, food, and urgent household needs. This prevents treatment from being interrupted due to financial hardship and ensures better living conditions for children.

All this support became possible thanks to you — people who choose to stand by children in their most difficult moments.
