We are convinced of this simple truth every day. How joyful that our requests to help little patients in the cancer departments are answered by sensitive and compassionate people!

Thank you on behalf of the parents of the children with cancer, the volunteers of CF "Time for the Kind" and, of course, our little wards!
Thanks to you we were able to help our charges children: Diana Lavrova (acute lymphoblastic leukemia), Radamira Basha (acute lymphoblastic leukemia), Sophia Muzaleva (medulloblastoma), Sophia Aksenova (acute lymphoblastic leukemia), Danila Besedin (acute lymphoblastic leukemia).
Helping your neighbor is truly a good and worthy cause for every Orthodox Christian! May God bless you for your help to the children!
