Medications for kids with cancer

By Yevgeniya Yurchuk | Volunteer Projetcs Coordinator

Alexan, Tsytozar, Vinkristin, Vankomitsyn, Zivoks are not all the names of medications that are very well know to all parents of kids that have cancer. This is not surprisingly at all. These medications can help to their beloved children at least not to feel pain, but what is most important, finally to win the battle with this terrible disease.

Prices for these medicines are extremly high. Besides, many of the pills couldn't be perchased in the pharmacy that is around the corner, because many of the medicines are not registered in Ukraine. Taking into consideration that mothers are spending all the time with kids in the hospitals and fathers works 24 hours in day earning money for very expensive treatment (avarage sallary in Ukraine is 3 000 UAH (106 EUR) - to buy highly needed medicines that cost at least 1 000 UAH per package is a real challange. Charitable Foundation "Pills" with your support is able to provide essential medicines that can save more than one life for children with cancer from various parts of Ukraine. According to the statistics, every fifth child in Ukraine is diagnosed with cancer.

In August, 2016 Charitable Foundation "Pills" spent 874 906 UAH (31 104 EUR) to buy 725 packages of pills.

In September, 2016, 1 289 483 UAH (45 844 EUR) helped to cover purchase of 2 064 packages and bottles of medications.

828 939 UAH (29 470 EUR) was spent on 1 818 packages and bottles of solutions, antibiotics, antiemetics, and other antineoplastic drug in October, 2016.

Thanks to you, 150 children monthly receive necessary medicines from Charitable Foundation "Pills".
