Children are dying in oncology departments. I learned this terrible fact six months after I started volunteering. It was a girl named Olya with Down syndrome. She died of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. I still remember the shock I felt. How could it be, after all the treatment had yielded results and suddenly everything was so ... My second loss…
This is how the youngest cancer patients at the beginning of treatment sometimes react even to us - the volunteers... We see the children's eyes running and frightened, the desire to hide and forget forever about the terrible disease... Forget about the punctures, chemotherapy and the walls of the room, which replaced their home... To forget, to go back to a HAPPY childhood, where there is just no room for pain and tears.
Unfortunately, this is what RAK has ruthlessly taken away from these children and what we fight for every day, along with their parents and a team of professional doctors. We help the little ones cope with their worries through creativity. In this way we constantly remind the children that life is not only a black area, but also bright colors, which must be remembered during treatment. Our volunteers regularly visit the children in the hospital and prepare fun and exciting activities for them.
We are sure that we feel each other's love and each time we show the children that they are not alone in their fight for life .
