Dear friends,
thank you for supporting seriously ill children from Ukraine.
Unfortunately, the problem of the shortage of drugs and medical supplies in the Ukrainian hospitals has not been solved yet. The medical reform still has to be approved by the Parliament. There are public discussions and protests but even if the reform is approved today as many people aspire it will take time to implement it. Meanwhile, with your support, we do our best to help kids who cannot wait and need treatment NOW. We pay special attention to the most vulnerable patients. They are orphans, children abandoned by their parents, children from single parent families, children who have recurrences and others.
For example, we help kids like little Stas. His parents abandoned him. The boy has been livening with his granny since birth. When Stas fell ill and got hospitalized, at the beginning the doctors couldn’t even start treatment because his granny didn’t have custody of him and couldn’t give permission to perform necessary medical procedures. The elderly woman who didn’t get any support from Stas’s parents had to go to court in order to get custodial rights and at the same time she had to look for expensive medicines that were not available at the hospital. She asked us to help them and we purchased everything the boy needed for treatment. Now Stas feels better and his granny received full custody of him.
Without your support such families like Stas and his granny would have to deal with hardships alone.
