We thank ARLEKIN'S ZERO GRAVITY (ZERO-G) VIRTUAL THEATER LAB, Baryshnikov Arts Center, Cherry Orchard Festival Foundation, and Igor Golyak and JOYCE KULHAWIK for a special event in support of Podari.Life. And all those who donated to Podari.Life during several performances starring Jessica Hecht, Anna Baryshnikov, Anna Bortnick, Darya Denisova, Jeffrey Hayenga, Melanie Moore, Nael Nacer, Mark Nelson and with Mikhail Baryshnikov as Anton Chekhov.

While donors in Russia help build cottages where families can stay during treatment, we are raising money to fund the infrastructure. We hope you'll support this important initiative.

Childhood cancer care is a lengthy process that requires children to stay in or near a hospital for months. Izmalkovo Village is going to be a special place where kids can stay with their parents in a home-like environment while receiving treatment at the hospital.

This will be more than just housing. Izmalkovo will feature a school for all patients, playgrounds, and many other facilities

Kirill is a real fighter. For more than 8 years, he has been hospitalized several times and has undergone multiple surgeries, including bone marrow transplantation. Right now Kirill's condition is severe, but there is still hope, and he needs Cidofovir to fight infections that are deadly dangerous to those in his condition.

Thanks to the friends of 'Svoimi Slovami,' we were able to pay for this medication, and we wish Kirill a speedy recovery.

If you want to organize an event to help kids like Kirill, please contact us.

The World Children’s Winners Games will be held in Moscow on August 3–5, bringing together 600 young cancer survivors from 15 countries. Among them is Lera Abakumova, whose treatment was supported by Podari.Life. Just two months after her endoprosthesis surgery, Lera is ready to compete. The Games help children regain confidence and return to active lives after cancer.

Harvard junior Anton Gillespie interned at the Federal Center for Pediatric Hematology in Moscow with help from Podari Zhizn and Podari Life. He shadowed doctors, observed hospital life, and spent time with young patients. “I saw how deeply illness affects families and how strong these kids are. Despite everything, they just want to laugh, play, and be kids,” he says. The experience was both eye-opening and inspiring, giving him valuable insight into the emotional side of medicine.
