The project aims to provide children in Novy Rozdil (Ukraine) who live with insulin-dependent diabetes, with necessary medical devices and equipment. As part of the project, the children will receive the medical devices and equipment necessary to ensure their survival and minimize the devastating consequences of diabetes
The Ukrainian state does not provide children with diabetes with sensors for continuous monitoring of glucose in the blood, insulin pumps and consumables for them. Those children whose parents are unable to buy this equipment experience daily torment of finger pricks up to 10-15 times a day. Glucose sensors prevent the possibility of a sharp rise or fall in blood glucose concentration. This significantly reduces the risk of complications that shorten the life of a person with diabetes.
We purchase and ship to the parents the medical equipment their children need. Special people in the organization review each request for assistance for relevance and the family's financial situation. We only help those families who are unable to provide the necessary treatment for their child. Every month, more than 25 children in Ukraine receive packages of medical equipment and medicines from us. More than 300 children receive support from us in the form of sensors on an ongoing basis
We are building a community of parents who can actively influence the current state of affairs. We train parents in advocacy, fundraising, and other ways to change the situation. We actively involve parents in volunteer activities. The main asset of our organization is volunteers. We hope that in the future the basic needs of children with diabetes in Ukraine will be included in the mandatory state program of free treatment. At the moment we are solving the problem as best we can
