Oleksii almost always wears caps because he is a little shy of his new hairstyle. Now he undergoes antitumor treatment but he cannot complete it because the radiotherapy machine broke down.

At that time his mom has to find money to buy the necessary medications for the postoperative period. This woman is a single parent who maintains two kids alone, that’s why she cannot cope without our helping hand.

In 2014 at the festival of advertising "Cannes Lions" one of the main prizes went to a social video called "Dear Future Mother". In it, 15 young people with Down syndrome are treated as if on behalf of unborn children to their future mothers. They say that the life of such a mother will be very different. Sometimes sad, sometimes cheerful, sometimes very bustling. But it certainly will be complete, because how can be the empty life of a mother who is raising a beloved child?
