I know that there are many helpful and kind people in the world, I am not asking for myself! Please, help me to raise money to buy Humira medicine for my daughter who is suffering from pain
A few days ago, we visited one of the orphanages in our area. And I want to share with you some of my impressions. Purposely I do not call a specific place: each orphanage has its own skeleton in their closet, but there is something common about them all
There are only two days left before June 17th and Kiril’s parents cannot raise 625 US dollars for his surgery. Help this sweet little fellow, please! He won’t make it alone
Little and smiling Elizaveta needs our support very much. Elizaveta has had four cycles of chemotherapy, but that's only the beginning of the battle for her life. Let us, all together, help Elizaveta defeat her illness!

Sergey’s biggest dream is a loving family. And so he makes beautiful beads trees and helps weed out the grass on flower beds. In order to be appreciated and loved. Profile # 0156523
Many of us were keeping our fingers crossed for Alyona Volosevich. At first, we actively collected donations for her treatment, and after she left for St. Petersburg, we were eagerly waiting to hear her news
If we had to answer the question “What is the Khortitsa Treasure Quest Game?” with one word, that word would be an ADVENTURE. For adventure is the thing which both children and adults often lack in their lives
Kristina Voitovich URGENTLY needs to buy expensive Vifend antibiotics and take a treatment course that will cost 6,255 US dollars! Kristina’s life is in our hands
It’s difficult to believe that one could ever hear any sound from Yulia! However, you only should switch on the musical toy to see Yulia try to speak and even dance in her bed. Profile # 0019456
Danil has endured three rounds of chemotherapy. Plenty of tears were shed and efforts contributed but the end is not in sight and the treatment continues. There are 15(!) chemotherapy courses to go in total
Although a strange tube in Danil’s nose seems to be his only entertainment, as soon as the boy hears birds’ singing his face radiates with joy. Profile # 0055963
On June 7th Mark is to start his next chemotherapy that requires approximately 250 US dollars. His single mother can’t cope with it alone with her monthly income of 187 US dollars. Help Mark, please!
Music does not interest little Svetlana, all her days resemble each other. She seems to be constantly occupied with the question what is about her body that prevents her from having a loving mom and dad. Profile # 0061711
Each one of us has a possibility to help the children who are in trouble. Aren’t we living here on this Earth in order to help each other?
Sometimes, it seems that in one's life everything is going well. A wife, children, apartment, a car – all one needs, nothing to complain about! The man has his work and his friends, but sometimes, as he is watching the marvellous sunset, or listening to beautiful music, or reading wise books, he realises that there is something important in this life that he lacks. He realises that the Creator has created all this beauty, including people. And with every particle of his body he accepts this Revelation given to him from Heaven. If we disturb unity and beauty of nature on Earth, we disturb this divine harmony…
A new day comes, and the old sinful human life continues. But hope for the better is still there.
Our appeal is to you, our friend: do not let the best that you have inside perish!
