Thanks to our donors:

— Children received medicines and medical supplies and underwent medical examinations that cost $84,115. In April, 197 children became beneficiaries of this program — a new record for the foundation. When essential medicines are unavailable in hospitals or pharmacies, or are too expensive for a family to afford, support from donors becomes the only way to continue life-saving treatment. Thank you for giving children this chance!

— Six hospitals received medicines and supplies worth $110,376. This included single-use instruments and consumables for the neurosurgery department of the National Children’s Specialized Hospital Okhmatdyt, helping make extremely complex brain surgeries safer.

Another $181,080 was invested in improving hospital infrastructure, with the majority allocated to Okhmatdyt’s IT systems. This covered the restoration and uninterrupted operation of the hospital’s servers, which process and store all medical records — from doctor visit notes to the results of highly precise diagnostic tests. Without these servers, modern evidence-based diagnostics and treatment would be impossible.

In addition, $20,000 was directed toward equipping a neurosurgical operating room at the Clinical Center for Pediatric Medicine in Lviv.

— In April 144 medical professionals took part in training courses, attended conferences, completed international observerships, improved their English proficiency, and received financial support.

$52,887 was allocated to strengthening doctors’ knowledge and skills. This included funding observerships for three Okhmatdyt specialists at Loyola University Medical Center in the United States.

— $35,550 covered expenses for the foundation’s Palliative Care Program. Medical and psychological consultations, therapy dog sessions, medications and care supplies, and fulfilling children’s wishes — all of this helps families of children with incurable cancer live more comfortably and without pain. In recent months, requests for such support have been steadily increasing, reflecting the vulnerability of families with seriously ill children during the war.

— $18,278 funded psychological support for 133 beneficiary families. The number of families seeking such help is also growing, as both a child’s cancer diagnosis and the ongoing Russian invasion cause extremely high levels of stress — which is very difficult to cope with alone. The foundation’s psychologists help our beneficiaries find the inner resources they need to keep fighting.

— $10,600 was allocated to provide outpatient housing in Kyiv and Lviv for 32 families. These apartments accommodate one child and one adult from families who no longer need to stay in the hospital full-time but must visit frequently. Outpatient housing is a lifeline for families who can’t afford to rent while staying far from home.

— $9,993 covered expenses for the Hospital Quality of Life Program. To help children and parents cope with isolation and adapt to new hospital conditions, we organize celebrations in oncology wards, creative workshops, beauty days, and festive discharges, as well as provide a Care Package — a set of special items that offer comfort during the most difficult first weeks of cancer treatment.

— $8,796 was allocated to support families in dire straits. This program helps families financially exhausted by their child’s prolonged illness, as well as by challenges related to the war — such as forced relocation or job loss. We provide assistance with clothing, food, and improving living conditions.

— $5,056 was directed to supporting families abroad. Wherever our beneficiaries are, we help them with information and legal assistance, send biomaterials for testing, and provide support during evacuation and return home.

Thank you for standing by children despite all the challenges and personal hardships.
