Sister charities PODARI ZHIZN The Podari Zhizn foundation was established on 26 November 2006 to help children and young adults up to 25 years old who are being treated for cancer and life-threatening blood disorders in Russian clinics. 15 years of support Since 2006, Podari Zhizn has helped over 66,000 children and young adults. It all started with doctors, oncologists and haematologists, firstly Galina Novichkova, Alexei Maschan and Mikhail Maschan. They had courage to share it in the media that Russian hospitals lacked medical supplies, equipment and bone marrow donors for children. Their appeals inspired a team of volunteers and fundraisers to raise money and involve famous actors, performers, musicians, journalists, and businessmen to support these charitable needs. Podari Zhizn has been helping doctors to treat their patients, helps children at every stage of their treatment, and supports families who otherwise would have to face this challenge alone. Most effective medications, life-saving surgeries, medical equipment, diagnostics and tests, travel expenses to and from hospitals, food, clothes, accommodation – all of these costs are covered from donations. Please visit Podari Zhizn website for more information about the charity and its work. PODARI.LIFE Podari.Life Inc. is a U.S.-based charity opened in 2015 by a group of enthusiasts who have volunteered at Podari Zhizn prior to moving to the United States. The charity believes that while the U.S. and Russian governments may be having a standoff, people of these two great countries do not. Openness, generosity, mutual support, and friendship are part of the cure for a disease that knows no borders – cancer. Their mission The charity’s mission is to advance public education on childhood cancer and to increase awareness among medical professionals in Russia. Same as its sister charities, Podari.Life is convinced that a child’s life should not depend on money. Check Podari.Life webpage for more details.
