Giving Tuesday campaign raises over half a million hryvnias for endoprostheses

As part of the international initiative #GoodTuesday More than 200 Ukrainian schools held lessons of kindness and joined in raising funds for the treatment of children with cancer.

Schoolchildren raised UAH 513,000 to save legs

In 67 schools across the country, we collected UAH 513,000 for endoprostheses for the wards of the Foundation Vika Solovyova and Vasya Davidyuk.

These special endoprostheses, which "grow" with the child, cost more than UAH 1 million everyone. They give a chance to avoid amputation and live a full life.

What is Giving Tuesday?

The global charity movement #GivingTuesday unites millions of people in more than 150 countries.
In Ukraine, it is known as #GoodTuesday - is:

• national charity flash mob;

• a day of good deeds in schools, communities, and businesses;

• inspiration to do good in various forms.

How did the students help?

The disciples did good as best they could:

• They made crafts and organized charity fairs;

• staged performances, held concerts, and sold tickets;

• They invented lotteries, raffles, and auctions;

• We just talked about important things and united.

These small, great deeds had a powerful result.

The result: one operation is already behind us

Fundraising for Vika's endoprosthesis is now closed - She had a successful surgery.
The collection for Vasya is still ongoingBut thanks to the children, we are very close to the goal.

Goodness has the power to unite

Giving Tuesday school initiatives are an example of how help from the heart really changes lives.

Children help children. And this is the greatest victory of goodness.
