Free Accommodation for Kids with Cancer in Ukraine

Dear friends,

thank you so much for supporting children with cancer in Ukraine in time of war.

These days, after the Russian missile assault all over the country, we feel like it’s February 24 again. However, we don’t give up and don’t stop responding to people’s needs. Your contributions make it possible.  

As of now, our Center Dacha is temporarily closed in Kyiv. The new Dacha construction was suspended at the beginning of the war when active hostilies took place around Ukraine's capital. In summer, the works resumed, and we hope and believe we will be able to open the house for children’s families the following year. Please, see the progress in the picture below.

Although the Dacha is closed, families who have children with cancer in Ukraine need a home away from home. Like Elina’s family who left Kharkiv Oblast in April to become IDPs, that is internally displaced persons. They couldn’t live any longer under the constant Russian shelling. When the girl came to the Lviv Oblast, she didn’t have symptoms. When Elina started feeling bad, they went to the hospital and underwent thorough examinations. The results were shocking: a malignant tumor that required immediate hospitalization in Lviv.

The family couldn’t remain in the village where they lived, and they didn’t have a place to stay in the city. With your help, now Elina’s family has accommodation not far from the hospital. Both parents are with their beloved daughter. They face this long treatment together and pray for Elina’s recovery.     

Thank you for being there for Ukrainian families now.
