Our foundation unites a diverse group of volunteers, primarily entrepreneurs from various sectors, who actively provide financial support for projects and programs aimed at helping sick children. Our team also includes students, medical professionals, psychologists, and marketers who periodically participate in events focused on assisting children. Additionally, we have volunteers with disabilities in our organization who have the time to deliver and send aid to sick children throughout Ukraine.
Our volunteer activities began in 2007-2008, when a group of compassionate individuals sought to independently help children with cancer, cerebral palsy (CP), diabetes, HIV/AIDS, autism, and multiple sclerosis. At that time, we raised funds for the treatment of children in Ukraine and abroad, and provided support to their parents, grandparents, and guardians who care for sick or orphaned children.
We have never forgotten about the orphaned children living in care homes, who do not have parents. By regularly visiting them, we learned about their needs and brought essential items: clothing, shoes, books, stationery, and other items that help them feel special and not forgotten.
Before the foundation was established, the president and vice-president were actively involved in charity projects of various organizations, assisting sick children with their treatment, purchasing medications, and meeting their basic everyday needs. In 2014, they founded the "Community Unity Charity Fund" to systematize and expand this assistance. Today, the fund collaborates with 12 partner companies and has over 300 concerned leaders and employees participating in the foundation's projects and events.
Currently, we provide ongoing support to 4,000 children with various illnesses across Ukraine. Most of them are children with disabilities, either orphaned or living under the care of grandparents. Among our beneficiaries are sick internally displaced children from occupied territories who are adapting to new living conditions in various cities and towns. We also support large families with multiple children with disabilities, cared for by mothers, aunts, or grandmothers.
Our future plans include opening a support center for sick children, where they can adapt to society and receive consultations regarding career choices that may be accessible depending on their conditions. The center will also offer educational activities, creative workshops, and other initiatives that foster the development of skills necessary for independent living in adulthood.
We are a team of compassionate individuals who have united to support children during difficult times. We believe in a bright, educated, and spiritual future for our children and strive to do everything possible for their development and happiness.
