Background
The Zaporuka Charitable Foundation, founded in 2008, supports families with children in hospitals, shelters, and frontline areas, and provides housing and care for seriously ill children in the Dacha family homes in Kyiv and Lviv.
Over the years, the foundation has provided Ukrainians with more than 17 million US dollars in assistance and has been included on Ukraine's list of the top 100 trusted charitable organizations.
Zaporuka's mission is to improve the quality of life of children and their families through comprehensive, humane support during treatment and in times of crisis.

It should be noted that Rubryka earlier told the story of Nataliia Tys from the village of Remeniv in the Lviv region, who overcame cancer as a child and has now become a volunteer for children with cancer.
