Women in need

My husband passed away from cancer on December 22, 2024. We had been fighting the disease for seven years, putting all our finances, strength, and resources into his treatment and the chance to extend his life. Over the past year, I took care of him full-time and had to leave my job. I have not yet found new employment, and all my current payments go toward utility bills. Together with my three children (ages 6, 12, and 16), I am in a very difficult life situation. I ask for help.

In December 2024, I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. I am currently undergoing chemotherapy, with surgery still ahead.I am a single mother raising my 12-year-old daughter with a disability—cerebral palsy (CP), subgroup A. She suffers from spasticity, experiences severe leg pain, and requires constant care and rehabilitation. At the moment, there is an urgent need to purchase a joint development trainer (14,000 UAH) and undergo medical examinations: an MRI of the brain (with contrast) and osteoscintigraphy.

I am a single mother raising two children: a 15-year-old daughter and a 17-year-old son with a disability. My son has been ill since birth and has been diagnosed with hydrocephalus of the brain, accompanied by developmental disorders and mental health issues. He is shunt-dependent and requires constant care. I am unable to work a regular schedule, and there are no job opportunities in the village. Social benefits are not enough to cover our needs. We are internally displaced persons (IDPs) from Donetsk, having relocated four times. Currently, we live in the Dnipropetrovsk region. I am exhausted and desperate.

After living under occupation, I have health problems. I am raising two children on my own: a 10-year-old daughter and a 14-year-old son. They are very afraid of missile strikes and the possibility of Russian soldiers returning. I am currently unable to work full-time and do not receive any social benefits. I need help with medication and living expenses.

I am a cancer patient currently undergoing treatment for the second recurrence of ovarian cancer. Metastases have also been detected in the upper abdominal cavity. I live and receive treatment in Kharkiv. My close relatives have passed away. I work, but my salary cannot cover the cost of the medications I need. I would be immensely grateful for help with the medications: Paclitaxel (480 ml) and Cisplatin (240 ml) or resources to purchase them.

My 7-year-old son has been ill since he was 2 years old. He suffers from pain throughout his body, his legs and spine have become deformed, and his vision has deteriorated. The likely diagnosis is juvenile arthritis and connective tissue dysplasia. However, to confirm the diagnosis and start treatment, expensive genetic tests are required, which are conducted in the USA. These tests cost $399, and the delivery fee is an additional 3000 UAH. This amount is unaffordable for me.I am asking for your help.
