Let's give families the opportunity to be together!
When a child is diagnosed with a severe illness, familiar life disappears. Instead of home, there are hospital walls, constant tests, waiting, and anxiety for their life.
We at the Zaporuka Foundation know that the path to recovery is not just about medicine. It is the opportunity for a family to be together, to cook familiar meals, to sleep in quiet, and to hold a child's hand not between hospital walls, but at home.
This is precisely why, 16 years ago, we created the «Dacha» Family Home—a home away from home, right next to the hospital. First in Kyiv, and later in Lviv. Here, families can live together and find support during the most difficult period of their lives.
Today we are taking the next step — we are opening Dacha in Dnipro.
The Regional Medical Center for Family Health in Dnipro is a large medical hub where families from five frontline oblasts of Ukraine arrive every day. Many families stay here for months of treatment. For them, housing is not about comfort. It is about the opportunity to be together when everything around is collapsing.
«Dachas in Dnipro will become a home that doesn't smell like a hospital. A home with a shared kitchen, quiet, and the most precious thing—the chance to feel like a family again. This home won't appear on its own. We can create it just you and me.
Join the fundraiser! Your help is a chance for hundreds of families not to break under the weight of a difficult journey. This is a place where love becomes stronger than diagnoses. Because at home, even the walls heal.
