Our foundation traditionally begins the new year by caring for those who are going through difficult times. Thanks to your support, we were able to deliver aid to the Zaporizhzhia Children's Hospital and support the staff and young patients.

Today, the residents of Zaporizhzhia are going through difficult times. The city is located about 40 km from the active combat zone, and its residents live under constant threat of attacks and shelling, while enemy strikes on energy infrastructure lead to prolonged power outages.
Despite the difficult conditions and danger, hospital staff remain at their posts. Doctors and nurses rush to work even during attacks. "With the start of the war, we realized how important our work is. We give ourselves 100% to our patients—there is no other way now," say the doctors, proving their dedication to their work every day.
In addition to children from the city, patients from the region and sometimes from neighboring regions are brought to the hospital every day. The hospital's needs are constantly growing, and its own resources are not always sufficient. Logistics problems, constant shelling, and power outages further complicate the situation.
Several non-transportable patients and palliative care patients have been in the hospital for a long time. Transportation poses a great threat to such children. Their relatives are not always able to be there for them. Medical staff become a second family for seriously ill children—nurses not only give medicine and change diapers, but also talk, comfort, and help them get through attacks.
Long-term illness is very exhausting for children, making their skin sensitive and vulnerable. Therefore, most of our assistance was aimed at improving the conditions for palliative and bedridden patients. Your donations helped us purchase and deliver high-quality, hypoallergenic diapers, diapers, and wipes to make seriously ill children feel more comfortable and make it easier for staff to maintain the hygiene and health of patients' skin.
The delivery of aid was planned for the winter holidays, so we really wanted to support sick children, especially those who had recently been brought to the hospital from villages near the front line. Such children need not only traditional treatment, but it is also extremely important for them to regain a sense of security and learn to enjoy life again. Therefore, we decided to give the children healthy snacks, juices, and cookies, and the staff promised to organize a festive tea party for them.
Our assistance has been a significant support for the hospital staff and patients. However, we certainly do not intend to stop there. We hope to be able to deliver a new batch of aid to the hospital in the near future. We would like to remind you that becoming our partner and supporting charitable initiatives is very simple.
