Report

For a child, and even for a teenager, a hospital ward is a frightening, unfamiliar world. The scariest things are loneliness and the unpredictability of the situation. There is no one nearby to explain what is happening and why, or to confidently say: 'Everything will be alright! We will get through this!'

Our foundation provides professional nannies for children who find themselves alone in the hospital. These nannies do more than just watch over the children—they live with them in the same ward, are on duty around the clock, and become friends and a reliable support during one of the most difficult periods in a child's life.

Right now, we are helping a 17-year-old boy who entered an orphanage six years ago. He grew up healthy and athletic, making plans for the future, but everything changed in an instant: he felt weak, and red spots appeared on his body. Tests revealed acute leukemia. He has now been transferred from a regional medical center to Moskva, and a nanny from our foundation will be by his side.

Even though the boy is already quite grown up, he also needs someone close to him who can at least somewhat dispel his fear and uncertainty, help him after chemotherapy, and stay with him for as long as necessary.

Thank you for your compassion! Thanks to you, we have been able to pay for round-the-clock nannies for children in hospitals. After all, every child in the hospital should have a reliable, caring adult by their side! If you would like to continue helping, please take a look at other current fundraising campaigns of the Doroga zhizni foundation. Together we can do more!

About the campaign

Every child needs a close adult - help pay for nannies for children in the hospital!

Her parents abandoned her at the maternity hospital after learning she had spina bifida. In March, she came to Moscow for an examination. She recently started school. School can't accommodate her in person yet, but a teacher visits her three times a week. Last year, she tried cooking for the first time. Now, her favorite dish is waffles with whipped cream and fruit.

We help pay for nannies for children hospitalized without their parents. Some of them have no one to turn to at all – they are orphans, abandoned children, or those removed from disadvantaged families. Others have parents, but they cannot be hospitalized full-time due to serious circumstances.

For all of them, a nanny becomes the close adult every child needs. Nannies care for children around the clock, monitor their health, and support them during all procedures. Help us be there for those who need it most.
