Diagnosis: binocular retinoblastoma (retinal cancer)

Funds to raise: EUR 45,000
Anna has a dangerous form of retinal cancer, that she has been fighting for several years. The girl went through many anesthesia and chemotherapy procedures, operations to restore vision and to prevent the spread of metastases. In 2018, a long-awaited remission came. But in October 2023 the disease had relapsed and the tumor began to grow rapidly again. The doctors in Moscow are inclined to remove the eyes. However, they can take her for a treatment at Jules Gonin hospital in Switzerland. All the funds available for the family have already been spent. EUR 45,000 more is needed.
Dear friends, the year is coming to the end. It was a difficult one, like the last few years in a row. Yet, thanks to you, it gives a hope. Thank you for remaining humans, for your help and support! Every human life and the health of every child remains important to us. In these dark times, we carry on with helping.

We have bought and sent the medicine. Jan/Feb 2024.
Age: 10 y. o.
Residence: Rostov region, Russia
Diagnosis: epilepsy
Needs:a medicine
Funds to raise: EUR 350 per course
Nikita has a severe uncurable form of epilepsy. He suffers from daily seizures. At an early age the boy could speak and walk, but has gradually lost these skills due to the illness. Now he only walks around wearing a helmet and holding somebody’s hand, because an attack could occur at any moment and he would fall. Nikita underwent a brain surgery to separate the hemispheres, but, unfortunately, this brought no improvement. In order to make the life easier for the child and his parents, Urbazon medicine is needed. The medicine can be purchased in Europe, but the family does not have the funds. They need EUR 350 euros for a medication course.
Dear friends, a wonderful event took place on October 15-20- the DobroMore Psychological Conference. Every October we hold such a multi-day meeting, where the participants are psychologists, volunteers and our care-receivers. The format is unique, and the effect is amazing. The theme of the conference 2023 was “The ways to help yourself and others with a psychological trauma.”
Against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine, the war in Israel, the constant battle for health and life in families with seriously ill children – this educational conference became warm support and a breath of fresh air for all participants.

We have helped Veronica with the purchase and delivery of orthopedic medical equipment (February 2024)
Age: 9 y. o.
Residence: Mykolaiv, Ukraine
Diagnosis: congenital scoliosis, funnel chest, flat feet
Needs:an orthopedic mattress
Funds to raise: EUR 200
The girl has a severe scoliosis, but, unfortunately, no treatment is provided except for supportive measures in the form of massage, swimming and wearing a corset. In addition, it is very important to sleep on an orthopedic mattress. The situation in the family is difficult: the girl’s father is also sick, he cannot work and requires a constant treatment. The only breadwinner in the family is Veronica’s mother. So the funds lack, and there is no government support. To purchase the mattress, they need EUR 200.
