Two-year-old Vanya Chornozub from Kherson Oblast has brain cancer. Since no clinic in Ukraine was able to cure him, he has been transferred to Germany for further treatment. Due to the efforts of many people, two years of therapy brought very good results. Vanya is getting better. But his parents are very short of money to pay for further treatment. His parents appeal to anyone who can help support Vanya’s treatment.

Inna will be 25 this August. It’s time of joy, love, and hugs of friends and beloved, time of raising children. For Inna all this may end even without a start. She was diagnosed a lymph nodes’ cancer. One course of chemotherapy has already been done, however it helped just for a while. Inna needs a complex surgery in Israel, a stem cell transplant. It’s her last chance to survive. The surgery costs 100 thousand dollars, and only 3 months left. We’ve gathered a very small amount, but there’s still time, and every day and every hryvna counts.
