Dear friends, I’m running Kyiv Half Marathon on April 22nd and, while doing so, would like to raise 1000 EUR for a very special charity - tabletochki.org.
Tabletochki is a charity fund that helps Ukrainian children with blood cancer by providing them with meds or sending kids who need stem cell transplant for the surgery abroad (Italy, Poland etc.) This type of surgery is not carried out in Ukraine, while there are about 300 children diagnosed with the condition requiring stem cell transplant every year. In 2016 Tabletochki sent 15 children for the surgery abroad. Each surgery costs about EUR 120,000 and for parents in Ukraine, where average monthly salary is EUR 225, the sum seems just astronomical.
But you can help! Please donate via the link on the right. It’s secure and I’d been knowing the fund and its founders for years. Every 5 or 20 EUR/USD will help! For reference: 500 UAH = 15 EUR 1000 UAH = 30 EUR
