Our Hospice nurses and doctor in Gomel support over 30 families whose children have genetic disorders or life limiting illnesses.

Many of the children need special equipment to enable them to live at home with their families. The Health Department now supply a ventilator if this is needed.

But there are other items which are not supplied and many families cannot afford to buy them. The mother is unable to work as she is looking after the child all the time and in many cases there is no father in the home.

£100 would buy a new gastrostomy set for a child who is struggling to be fed by mouth

£15 would buy a replacement tube for a gastrostomy

£25 would buy a pulse oximeter

£350 would buy an Oxygenator. There are a small number of children who cannot leave hospital without this.

 

 

Whether it’s providing recuperative holidays in the UK for poorly Belarussian children, sending young adults living in institutions to holiday camps in clean parts of Belarus, maintaining 24 hour care for our family in Rodni Kut or, indeed, providing any of our other vital services,we need your help and we need it now! Without the financial support offered by our kind and generous donors we simply would not be able to carry on. We are extremely thankful for every donation, however small, that enables us to continue helping those people of Belarus for whom fate has dealt such a difficult hand of cards. Thank-you!
