Dear friends,
thank you for your donations that make Dacha possible!
With your support, 70 kids affected by cancer and their families had a home during treatment in 2019.
One of them is 8-year-old Maryna. The girl came for treatment from other city and remained in Kyiv for a year. When there was a pause between chemo cycles, she always came to the Dacha to be with her mom and dad. When she had to return to the hospital with her mom, her dad remained at the Dacha to cook and then to bring them healthy meals (unlike those distributed at the hospital) and help them in anything they might need. For this family, Dacha became a home away from home.
In 2019 Maryna completed treatment. Follow-up visits and regular checkups confirm that everything is all right. Now the girl goes to school and likes to learn new things, especially in biology classes about snakes she likes so much. In the future she dreams of becoming a snake catcher on National Geographic. Well, you can guess that this girl is really brave. She had never been afraid of fighting the disease and won.
Now, when the toughest times are over and New Year 2020 really brings new life for Maryna, she and her parents don’t forget about Dacha and kids who are still here. During Christmas holidays, they came for a visit with gifts and sweets. That’s because Dacha is a big family! Thank you for being a part of our family too!
