Donation Report

ATTENTION! AS OF 09/15/2023: Vali underwent a kidney transplant. The girl has already returned home and is feeling well. Thanks for your help!

The Foundation has known Valya Nikolayenko for almost 10 years. The girl has stage 5 renal failure. The parents found out about this diagnosis when the child was 3 years old. Now Vali is almost 16. She has had 3 operations and long-term drug therapy. All this time, the foundation supported the girl in treatment whenever possible. The total amount of aid provided until 2023 amounted to over $ 1633.

You can read about life and treatment and Valusha here:

In February 2023, the parents turned to the fund for help in paying for expensive medical drugs, because they could hardly cope on their own. Monthly, for support Valya had to take Recormon, Alpha D 3, Tsinacalcet and other expensive drugs for a sick body on an ongoing basis. The fund supported the family and several times helped in the purchase of the necessary. However, to date, the girl's body has weakened so much that the question of a kidney transplant has arisen. There was no time left to wait for a third-party donor, so it was decided that the girl's mother would be the donor. The family is already waiting in the Kyiv city hospital.

The operation itself is free, but before that, the girl's mother needs to undergo a series of examinations. Add travel, accommodation and you get a a large amount.

Without proper treatment, 17-year-old Tymofii Shatulskyi cannot control his serious illness.
Please, help raise funds for life-saving medication!

Since the beginning of 2023, the fund has already spent more than $ 490 from general charitable donations on medicine for Vali and examination of the mother. But in order to continue to promptly help the family solve treatment issues, we ask you, our friends, to join us!

$ 272 is required beforehand.
