We raised almost $400K and provided help for more than $230K.
Podari.Life has four ongoing programs:
First program provides doctors, hospitals and researchers with a current access to Western academic and clinical research - via relevant journals and database subscriptions paid by Podari.Life. The program also provides scientists in the field of cancer research with grants to participate in international conferences and exchanges. In 2019 Podari.Life had spent $20,670 on this program.
Second program covers rare and unregistered medications needed to cure children in Russian hospitals, primarily Dmitry Rogachev National Research Center of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Immunology. The total expense for this Podari.Life program was $171,907.
Third program covers treatment and rehabilitation outside of Russian national health system - usually, in German or Israeli hospitals for Podari Zhizn wards. This program cost in 2019 was $26,253, in particular for unrelated bone-marrow search, and we expect to spend more of these searches next years.
Fourth program covers the expenses for IT that help to promote cancer awareness and reach more donors and stay in touch with patients parents and families.
In 2020 we aspire to continue our efforts to help Russian doctors in their fight with childhood cancer. Our programs continue to support academic and clinical development of medical personnel, however now our main causes are to provide Russia hospitals with so much needed medications, that are not available through Russian healthcare system.
