Fundraising for the Emergency Surgery Department of “OHMATDYT” Children’s Hospital

Ongoing Fundraising Campaign

Region: Kyiv (“OHMATDYT” Children’s Hospital)
Every day, children are rushed to the pediatric emergency surgery department needing immediate help. In critical moments, every second matters — but even the most skilled doctors are helpless without modern medical equipment.
This fundraiser aims to equip doctors with the vital tools, instruments, and devices they need to save children’s lives in the most critical moments — quickly, safely, and effectively. Through this project, we are raising funds to support one of the most essential hospital’s units: the pediatric emergency surgery department, where urgent surgeries are performed, young patients are stabilized, and expert surgical care is delivered.
We focus on equipment that:- Saves lives - Improves treatment outcomes - Reduces complications - Supports emergency care - Enables doctors to provide more effective medical care to young patients
The ongoing fundraising campaign supports the purchase of surgical instruments, medical consumables, essential equipment, and related components.

“Eat to Live”

Active Fundraising Campaign

Regions: Kyiv, Smila (Cherkasy region)
Some children cannot eat on their own — not because of whims or refusal, but due to severe medical conditions that make even swallowing impossible. Children from orphanages and care homes with serious neurological disorders face pain, fear, and exhaustion every day… just from trying to eat.
A gastrostomy is a small medical device inserted surgically to safely deliver nutrition directly to the stomach. It sounds simple — but for these children, it’s a chance to live.
Without gastrostomy, they:● fail to gain weight (at 17 years old, they may weigh less than 8 kg);● suffer from chronic protein-energy deficiency;● are constantly ill and unable to develop properly;● refuse food because of pain and fear.
These children may not have parents, but they do have you—and the doctors who are committed to performing surgeries and supporting them every step of the way. The first results are already remarkable: little ones with newly placed gastrostomy tubes are gaining weight and thriving right before our eyes.
Project Goal: To provide treatment for 100 children. To raise funds for gastrostomy devices for children in orphanages who suffer from severe illnesses and critically low body weight. The cost of a single gastrostomy ranges from 3,000 to 30,000 UAH, depending on the type of device and the child’s age. The “Eat to Live” project aims to support children facing life-threatening malnutrition due to serious health conditions, giving them a chance to grow, gain strength, and thrive.
Project Status: The project is currently in the implementation phase. As of May 1, 2026, more than 45 gastrostomy tubes have already been inserted. Gastrostomy tubes are being purchased gradually. Children are receiving the necessary care, gaining weight, and are able to receive nutrition independently.
Fundraising is ongoing.
