2026 in progress

Podari.Life continues to help in 2026:

With your donations, we have already raised $255,500 to cover CAR-T procedures for 2 children.

Meet the children you’ve helped this year:

Defitelio for Egor - $27,186

Egor is a 12-year-old boy from Sharya, a small town in the Kostroma region. He was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in the summer of 2025 and has been undergoing treatment at the Dmitry Rogachev Center. As part of his therapy, doctors prescribed Defitelio, a drug that protects the liver from a dangerous complication of intensive therapy and transplantation.

Thanks to your support, Podari.Life purchased the necessary medication at a cost of $27,186. In August 2026, Egor underwent a bone marrow transplant, and his treatment continues.

Thank you for standing by Egor in his fight for recovery.

Fasturtec for Kira - $5,740

Kira is a 9-year-old girl from Vladimir. She was diagnosed with anaplastic large cell lymphoma, a rare type of lymphoma for which standard chemotherapy is not suitable. To help her body cope safely with the start of treatment, doctors prescribed Fasturtec, a drug that protects the kidneys when tumor cells break down rapidly during therapy.

Thanks to your support, Podari.Life purchased the necessary medication at a cost of $5,740.

Thank you for standing by Kira in her fight for recovery.

Defitelio for Turpal - $33,927

Turpal is a 13-year-old boy from Chechnya battling acute myeloid leukemia. In February, he underwent a bone marrow transplant, but in May he was back in the hospital: the disease had returned. Doctors prescribed Defitelio, a drug that protects the liver from a dangerous complication of intensive therapy and transplantation.

Thanks to your support, Podari.Life purchased the necessary medication at a cost of $33,927. Turpal's condition remains serious, and doctors are preparing him for a second transplant.

Update: We are heartbroken to share that Turpal passed away on October 19, 2026. Thank you to everyone who supported him and his family. We hold them in our hearts.

Defitelio for Safiya - $53,819

Safiya is an 11-year-old girl from Dagestan. She has been fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia since 2021, and the disease has now returned for the second time. To continue her treatment, doctors prescribed Defitelio, a drug that protects the liver from a dangerous complication of intensive therapy and transplantation.

Thanks to your support, Podari.Life, together with our partners, purchased the necessary medication. Our share of the cost was $53,819.

Thank you for standing by Safiya in her fight for recovery.

70 vials of Cidofovir for $27,285

Thanks to your support, we purchased urgent medication for five-year-old Matvey in August.

Matvey is being treated for acute myeloid leukemia. Intensive treatment severely weakens the immune system, making viral infections that are almost harmless to healthy people potentially dangerous.

Matvey’s treatment is exactly the kind of case we created Meds4Kids for: to ask for help in advance, before we know which children will need which medications

help for nikita - $18,751

Nikita is 16 years old. His battle with osteosarcoma of the right femur began in April 2025. Initially, after a knee injury, X-rays showed no bone damage, and he received local treatment and physiotherapy. However, after a fall on May 12, 2025, his mobility became severely restricted.

Since July, Nikita has been undergoing treatment at the Dmitry Rogachev Center, including tumor removal surgery, knee joint replacement, and chemotherapy. In February, as part of his specialized therapy, he required high-dose Methotrexate. Thanks to your support, Podari.Life purchased the necessary medication at a cost of $18,751.

Thank you for standing by Nikita in his fight for recovery.

Methotrexate for Vladislav - $18,407

Vladislav is a 10-year-old boy. In April 2024, he suffered a right knee injury during hockey practice. Starting in June 2025, his training intensity increased, and within a week, he began to limp and eventually lost the ability to bear weight on his leg. On the night of July 9, 2025, severe pain and swelling developed, leading to a diagnosis of conventional osteosarcoma.

Since February 2026, Vladislav has been undergoing treatment at the Dmitry Rogachev Center, where high-dose Methotrexate therapy is required. Thanks to your support, the Meds4Kids project was able to purchase the necessary medication at a cost of $18,407.

Thank you for helping this young athlete in his most important fight for health.

cidofovir for sergey - $15,820

(in memoriam)

Sergey is an eleven-year-old boy from Tula who has been battling high-risk acute myeloid leukemia for two years. After two bone marrow transplants and a rare relapse, his immune system was severely weakened, leaving him vulnerable to life-threatening infections.

Your donations helped provide him with Cidofovir, a vital antiviral medication not registered in Russia. This life-saving supply cost $15,820.

Thank you for giving him a chance to continue his recovery and for providing hope to other children who urgently need similar life-saving treatments.

Update: With deep sorrow, we share that Sergey passed away in August. We are grateful to everyone who stood by him and his family throughout his long and courageous fight. Our hearts are with his loved ones.

fasturtec for semyon - $5,946

Semyon is an 11-year-old boy from Izhevsk battling Burkitt lymphoma. His illness began in the fall of 2025, and he is currently undergoing treatment at the Dmitry Rogachev Center. By late December 2025, serious infectious complications developed, making standard chemotherapy impossible. To continue the fight against the tumor, doctors prescribed the drug Columvi along with Fasturtec to manage his critical condition. Semyon has already endured a bone marrow transplant and CAR-T therapy. While his condition remains serious, he continues his brave journey toward recovery.

Your support in 2026 helped provide vital medications at a cost of $5,946.

Thank you for giving Semyon this critical chance for recovery.
