No one knew if Vika would survive. After a premature birth, the girl did not eat, she stopped breathing, so she was in intensive care. Then she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and Dandy-Walker syndrome. But Vika survived. Although she now has to challenge the right to every free movement, she is alive! And she pleases her relatives with new skills that are given to her with such difficulty... 

Yura Petrenko is 10 years old and all these years he lives with a chronic orphan disease of primary immunodeficiency. His mother Victoria is 42 years old and she herself brings up two sons 10 and 14 years old. They live in the city of Dnipro, the youngest son Jura from birth is very often ill with infectious diseases – purulent sinusitis, acute bronchitis, and pneumonia. All these diseases are treated only with antibiotics, and after one of pneumonia, when antibiotics no longer acted on Yura, his mother took him from the hospital and took him to Kyiv for examination. First, to "OKHMATDYT", and then to the Department of Immunology, where Yura was diagnosed with primary immunodeficiency. It means that the child has very weak immunity and is doomed to support the body with immunoglobulins and antibiotics. 

Yura Bocharnikov was 16 years old when his life turned upside down. As a result of an unsuccessful jump on the beach trampoline in August 2016, the guy received a closed spinal cord trauma, spinal injury, a fracture and dislocation of the cervical vertebrae. Yura spent four months lying motionless in the neurosurgery department of the Odessa Regional Children's Clinical Hospital. He was treated with skeletal traction, received anti-decubitus therapy and he really wanted to go home. 

Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common diseases in the world. The disease often leads to disability and death. Kristina Tkhelidze has been fighting this ailment since the age of 15. Now 26, her condition has deteriorated because the disease has taken on a serious form. The young woman was admitted to the hospital and diagnosed with Phlegmon of the right foot. In addition, a blood clot was discovered that is at risk of breaking free, she also has kidney problems as a result of diabetes. 

Maksym’s parents remember how happy they were during 2017 New Year celebration when the treatment ended. They had only one wish – health for the son! The boy lived in remission for two and a half years. He returned to his usual life playing football with his older brother, beginning to prepare for school... Suddenly the disease returned. A control MRI examination revealed a tumor.

Twins Julia and Inna are seventeen years old already. They live in the Rivne region in the loving large family. What is so unusual – you ask? In the photo, you can see the smiling young faces. But the picture of Yulechka’s spine – it’s just the misery... The disaster has begun exactly seventeen years ago. The girls were born prematurely and spent two months in intensive care after their birth. When the babies were already at home, both the local doctor and the children's nurse, who came home to examine the children, convinced their parents that everything was fine, the children were developing normally. And the only mother's heart suggested that it was not right. Parents sounded the alarm.

Loneliness, when you are “not needed by anyone” – even adults can hardly bear it. For a child, this is a real tragedy. Nothing can replace mom's gentle hands in the first year of life. And yet we can support abandoned children: to make sure that they do not need at least material: food and hygiene products. "Abandoned children" leave dysfunctional mothers in maternity hospitals and even well-arranged parents, if the child was born with pathologies. Children found on the street and taken from families where they were not cared for are brought to hospitals. About 2 weeks is required for examination; in reality, while the guardianship authorities will complete all the necessary documents, sometimes months pass. 

Daryna Ogilko will soon turn 4. Three of them, she is fighting non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Hormones changed the face of the child beyond recognition, but they cannot be canceled, because wounds immediately appear on the skin. These are manifestations of the chronic graft versus host reaction. The only treatment that can help is a course of photopheresis, which is not available in Ukraine. In early childhood, a girl found a tumor on her head. Soon, analysis showed that it was an aggressive B-cell lymphoma. 

Breathing is normal and it seems so easy... but there are those for whom it’s not available. These people can be near us. And there are many, thousands of them!
There are many diseases that result in lung damage and oxygen deficiency. Nobody counts such people, they ask to breathe at home or in the hospital. And it
can last for months and years. The respiratory apparatus is what gives them free-breathing and adds new strength to their lives. Such an apparatus can be installed at home by plugging it into an outlet, and it will filter oxygen straight from the outside and serve it into the damaged lungs. 

The good made from the heart is always returned. Let's do good deeds together! My aim is 10,000 UAH. This money is needed to fluel one special minibus of Dzherelo Centre during whole month. Bus program serves more than 100 children and youth with disabilities. Unfortunately, otherwise, these children will be only in their homes every day.
