FEBRUARY 2026

Dear friends!
We continue to support those who need our help.
In January–February we helped:
Matvey Masliy, 10 years old, Ukraine, neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation — with the purchase of regularly required medication.
Excerpt from Matvey’s mother’s letter:
I am very grateful to your entire team who worked to help Matvey. For the next half year we will be able to live calmly because our boy will receive the medicine that gives him life. I am writing now and tears are flowing…
Dmitry Zheleznov, 16 years old, Belarus, desmoplastic small round cell tumor stage IV — payment for follow-up monitoring after treatment; Matvey Andrievsky, 12 years old, Ukraine, spastic diplegia — rehabilitation after surgery; Konstantin Belyansky, 8 years old, Russia, oncology — treatment payment.
Thank you for your support!
This month our help is needed by: Read more

JANUARY 2026

Dear friends!
I congratulate everyone on the past holidays. I wish all of us to keep in our hearts a piece of Christmas joy and hope throughout the year! May doing good become our contribution to this world that is now experiencing a sharp shortage of love and mercy.

We gratefully remember everyone who helped us to help during the past year. Throughout the year our volunteers and friends in different cities and countries supported those who were in need.
This year we received 28 new requests. In 20 cases help was needed for children, in 8 – for adults. Four requests came from refugee families. Out of those who applied, 21 families have already received all necessary assistance, the rest continue to be in progress.
