Challenge
Every year, 200,000 people are diagnosed with cancer, and the resulting mortality rates are a grave concern. Since its establishment in 1998, LOSEV has been committed to supporting children with leukemia and cancer, assisting over 90,000 children to date. The majority of these families—87%—come from low-income backgrounds, with 11% having no income at all. To overcome financial barriers, LOSANTE Hospital provides free treatment and accommodation, ensuring that every patient receives the care they need.
Solution
LOSANTE Hospital is equipped with a highly skilled medical team and advanced expertise. While the success rate for treating leukemia was 25% in the 1990s, it has now risen to 94% at our facility. Our mission is to expand our services to reach more cancer patients. The high cost of treatment necessitates additional fundraising to support both children and adult cancer patients. This project aims to raise the necessary funds to continue our critical work.
Long-Term Impact
The success of leukemia and cancer treatment relies on the support from individuals, institutions, and corporate partners globally. LOSEV is dedicated to enhancing the lives of our patients through shared experiences, increased awareness, and robust funding. By doing so, we aim to provide a healthier and more hopeful future for those we serve.
Here is a breakdown of how the funds have been and will be used to achieve our goals:
1. Medical Supplies
2. Furniture for the Oncology Ward
3. Medical Equipment
4. Treatment Expenses for Children with Leukemia
5. Non-Refundable Health Grants
Thank You
We extend our deepest gratitude to all our donors and supporters. Your contributions directly impact the lives of children and families affected by cancer. Together, we are making a tangible difference and moving closer to a future where every child has access to the care they need.
