This is the first time we have come across such a case. We know this will raise a lot of questions, but we’re giving you all the information we can. Vika was born by c-section to a disabled mother. The mother is unable to take care of the child. A few months ago, some kind […]

We have many news, here’s the short versions of all of them: 1) Oxygen concentrator from Tatiana Bezkrovnaya is already at the Institute. It will be placed at the pediatric ICU, where we plan to start renovations in a week. So we are not opening it for the time being, so it doesn’t get damaged […]

The family is from a village in Chernihiv region. Mother — school teacher, father — drives a tractor. As it often happens, the family did not expect to have a sick child. The diagnosis is very difficult, the family needs help with medication and purchase of the shunting system. They have no funds to purchase […]

We don’t even know what to add… Miracles! We will only say that the concentrator is already at the Institute. His ‘place of work’ will be the pediatric ICU, where we plan to start renovations in the coming week, which is why it is still in its box, so that it doesn’t get damaged. Using […]

Pavel Nikolaevich have operated and is operating on many of the children in our care, including our orphans: Seraphim, Nikita Ch, Viktoriya N, Bodgana… It’s difficult to even count how many kids owe their lives to his professionalism — it’s hundreds, not tens every year… Successful treatment, however, depends on more than just skillful hands. It requires […]

* Поступления, которые упали на счет фонда в течение суток, публикуются в 10-12 часов следующего рабочего дня. Бывают случаи, когда средства приходят не сразу, а идут в течение 3х-4х банковских дней. Это зависит от схемы работы банков. * Назначения платежей иногда пропадают. Тогда мы не знаем на кого из детей зачислить деньги. Если зачислили не […]

Anton was urgently taken into surgery, it couldn’t wait. Anton is from a low-income family, his parents were not ready financially for the surgery. Anton’s mother called during the night, and only because the doctors persuaded her that we would help, knowing what’s ahead and understanding the complexity of the diagnosis and the surgery. The parents […]

This is a holiday we invented ourselves, to entertain the kids that are getting treatment at the Institute. This was our fifth Pie Day and hopefully not the last one :)) We didn’t have as many volunteer-pastry chefs from the ‘Agent 031′ volunteer network as before, but we did great anyway! Hopefully, our pies will bring smiles […]

Bogdan has been at the Institute since he was born. He has congenital hydrocephalus. Two months of the expensive antibiotic therapy.

Mirra is from a large family, currently at the Institute post tumor removal. On Thursday we suddenly got worse; ran a fever of 40C. She urgently needed expensive medication, which her mother couldn’t afford. Her doctor literally caught Natasha in the hallway as asked to help — the situation was that bad. In the next […]

Sergiy has been at the Institute of Neurosurgery hospital for 2 months. The parents are completely tapped out financially. Their roommate asked us for help. It all began on May 15th when the boy suffered from sudden cross eye and started getting severe headaches. He was referred to a neurosurgeon. An MRI scan later confirmed a skull […]

В Детское отделение Киевского Института нейрохирургии свозят детей со всей уголков Украины и ближнего зарубежья с последней надеждой, и чаще всего, когда доктора из других регионов отказались или не смогли, в силу каких-то обстоятельств, помочь. В год тут проходят лечение около 5000 маленьких пациентов, а более тысячи — проходят оперативно-хирургическое лечение. Государство, к сожалению, обеспечить […]

There are about 100 children living at the “Nadiya” orphanage in Pryluky. Some of them are children with disabilities. Two of them were under our care in the Institute of Neurosurgery: Tima and Roma. This post is not about them, however, it’s about all the children there… And their current needs: Medicine for children who […]

Друзья, хочу написать пост о важности правильного написания назначений платежей. К сожалению, это не наша прихоть и не просто формальность. Это требование банков и налоговой службы. В нашем государстве все очень сильно «зарегулировано». По каждому такому случаю бухгалтеру приходится писать отдельное заявление в банк. И если БЛАГОТВОИТЕЛЬНЫЙ ФОНД получает перевод с указанием «ПОПОЛНЕНИЕ ОБОРОТНЫХ СТРЕДСТВ», […]

Вера, Надежда, Любовь и мама их Мария… Мамочке 22 года, маляр-штукатур. Вчера Наташа поехала в Неонатальный Центр Охматдета завезти антибиотики для нашей отказной Вики. Но все оказалось не так просто. Заведующая отделением попросила помочь чем можем и подвела ее в палату к худенькой маме: «Мария, не плачьте, вам пришел помогать святой Лука!» Доченькиее недоношены. Весят […]

So it happened! Yesterday Victoriya […]

Сьогодни був дуууже насичений день. Провідали — пообіймали — потискали-погуляли — купили ліки 10-ти нашим комашкам. Ледь додому добралася о пів на дев’яту вечора. Доки пам’ятаю, спробую розказати все по черзі )) ВІДМОВНІ ДІТИ В ОХМАТДИТІ 1) Вікторія Н. Віку сьогодні оперували. З самого ранку @Наталья Гращенкова збігала за шунтом до операції та перед Бояркою […]
