Palliative Care Program for Children with cancer

Dear Friend,

From the bottom of our hearts, we want to say a huge "thank you" for all the support you gave Ukraine and Ukrainian children with cancer this year. 

It means so much to us that children can rely on friends like you during their own battle. In these challenging times, having you by our side has been a huge relief.

You made it possible for more than 1000 families of children with cancer to continue their fight against the disease. And there are no words that could describe our gratitude. 

Here is a video about people who remained a reliable shoulder for Ukrainian children with cancer. Please, watch it. This video is about you and your kind heart.

Thank you again for making us stronger in our fight for children’s health!  

May this holiday season be warm and filled with cherished moments with your loved ones

Best wishes,

Tabletochki Charity Foundation

Dear Friend,

Hundreds of Ukrainian children suffering from cancer will spend Christmas in hospitals. Day by day, they fight for their health and do not stop dreaming. The biggest dream of children like Dima is to return home from the hospital.

Dima is just two years old. Despite his age, he already knows what it's like to wage his own war against the disease. At the end of August, he had a difficult operation, and after it - several more courses of chemotherapy.

Please, on Thanksgiving Tuesday donate to bring Ukrainian children like Dima closer to a life-meaning win!

Your gift brings so much hope and strength to the families facing two wars at once!

Dear Donor!

While a full-scale war against Russia lasts, there is one more fight against childhood cancer on an invisible front. And we are incredibly grateful that you remain reliable shoulder and strong support for children with cancer and their families. Thanks to your generous support, children with cancer remain in Ukraine and continue their fight against the disease in Ukrainian hospitals. Even if it is much more complicated than it was before February 24.

We have prepared the report for the second quarter. Here we describe what we, together with you, have done for children and the pediatric cancer treatment service in Ukraine. 

Thank you for making us stronger in our fight for children’s health

Please, stay with the Ukrainian children

Dear Friend,

Looking back at 2021, we feel boundless gratitude for each achievement that became possible thanks to donors like you.

Last year more than 1000 families of children with cancer received the required assistance. 

Kyrylo overcame the disease. Nazar celebrated a year since the unrelated bone marrow transplant. Sofia received unique medicines used in Ukraine for the first time. 

On the 24th of February, the life of every Ukrainian changed forever. But families under the Foundation’s care and our team know better than anyone: winning in the war with cancer is possible. Winning in the war with Russia is possible as well.

And we will do everything to ensure that the war and those responsible for it cannot cross out past gains, current opportunities, or future victories.

For now, let's recall what all of us have already done on this path.
Please, read our report for 2021. 

Today you can ensure even more victories in 2022. Create a subscription to help Ukrainian children.

Thank you for delivering help and hope to Ukrainian children even in the darkest times.

Dear friend,

Thank you for supporting the Palliative care program for children with cancer! 

Ukrainian children are going through the most difficult times. Today we share with you the story of Dima.

Dima is almost eight years old. The first time he left his hometown Chernihiv to fight cancer, the second one – to survive the war.

Dima and his mother Oksana spent more than two weeks in the basement of their house which served as a bomb shelter. Dima has blood cancer and severe complications after chemotherapy.

He has been in the palliative care program of the Foundation for several years. He needs constant medical care, and the cold and damp basement only worsened his condition. In addition, Dima's family was running out of medication, and there was no opportunity to replenish their stocks.

 "There are very few bandages left which I use as tampons for the defects in his mouth. So I will try to cut down their usage by renewing them not every day, but at least every other day," Oksana shared earlier this month.

On March 14, Dima and his mother finally managed to evacuate from Chernihiv, which the russians have been constantly attacking from all sides. His grandmother and a beloved little dog called Yasia went with them. Dima would not go without Yasia.

Dima has dreamed about a dog for a long time. He has received a small white dog as a birthday gift from the Foundation. Since then, Dima and Yasia have been inseparable friends 

However, when Dima arrived at Western Ukrainian Specialized Children's Medical Center in Lviv, he had to say goodbye to Yasia. There was no chance for the dog to stay in the hospital in the current situation.

Luckily, Marjana Stehnitska, a nutritionist and consultant of the Foundation's palliative care program, let Yasia stay at her home for a while.

A long trip from Lviv to Poland was ahead of Dima and his family. Unfortunately, Yasia can not join them on the bus with other sick children. At the same time, the family did not want to leave her in Ukraine.

Finally, the way out of the situation was found. Our colleague Olena Semeniuk, who manages an educational program for healthcare professionals in the Foundation, brought the dog to Poland.

When Dima and Yasia met, the boy was thrilled. He was literally shining.

Today, Dima and all his family members arrived in France, where the boy would receive necessary medical care. 

This all became possible only with your help, sincerely thank you!

Continue your help, talk about Ukraine, together we will meet victory.
