Nastia, a little four-year-old girl, filled the home of one of the founders with laughter and light. That all changed one day, when a diagnosis of lumbar myelitis divided the family's life into “before” and “after.” In Ukraine, Nastia faced numerous hospital walls and uncertainty. Every minute was worth its weight in gold, every step forward seemed unattainable.
But we did not give up. We went through a difficult and thorny path to find salvation in Europe, where qualified specialists opened up new opportunities for the treatment of our daughter. Nastya is still undergoing rehabilitation, but her smile and first small victories inspire us to do great things.
Another founder of the foundation drew strength from his mother, a woman who was a true embodiment of love and care. But a terrible diagnosis of cancer jeopardized the most precious thing. The family did everything possible to secure treatment in Europe. There was a lot of hope, faith and struggle, but, unfortunately, my mother left this world, leaving behind a bright trace and a great lesson: do not waste time. Because time is what saves lives.
