In Europe and the United States 90% of children with cancer survive. In Russia fewer than 70% do. Since the only difference is money, you can help more children beat cancer.
Leukaemia is the most common type of childhood cancer — statistics show it accounts for 33% of all cases.
Gift of Life spends over 70% of all funds raised to purchase foreign medications. It has always been our main expense.
Since we were established in 2011 the charity has helped over 310 children with cancer and severe blood diseases.
With your support, Gift of Life can give more children a better chance to recover from cancer and to live life to the fullest. Donate now with a bank card or see Other ways to donate for our PayPal and bank details.
