We are happy to report that we were able to help seven cancer patients with the costs of lodging this year. These patients had to travel far away from home - to Germany, USA, Israel and Singapore. Your donation made a lot of difference for these patients and I would like to express our sincere gratitude for your generosity and compassion.
Unfortunately, continuing instability, corruption and low government spending on healthcare in the fomer Soviet Union still drives many cancer patients to seek help abroad where qualified medical care is readily available. Recently, we received a request for help from the parents of a ten-year-old Danylo who was diagnosed with a brain tumor 4 years ago. He had two surgeries to remove it in his native Ukraine. Then, at a consultation in Israel, it was discovered that the tumor was not as aggressive, as Ukrainian doctors thought, and Danylo only needed regular evaluations for the last 18 months. However, during the latest round of tests in Israel, a continued growth of the tumor was detected. Now Danylo needs to travel to Israel as soon as possible to have more treatment, and his parents are scrambling to raise funds.
With the help of supporters like you we will make sure to help Danylo and other patients needing access to adequate medical care. Thanks again for staying with us! Wishing you joy, peace and prosperity in the New Year!
