This year, Vanya moved up to seventh grade. He is interested in physics, chemistry, and geometry. He also enjoys riding his bike, swimming, and spending time with friends. He seems like a normal boy—curious, active, and cheerful.

But four years ago, Ivan's life changed forever. After extensive testing at the Rudnev Center in Dnipro, he was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, an autoimmune disorder that affects the digestive system and causes constant pain and exhaustion.

In order for Vanya to live without pain, study, and develop, he needs a special diet called Resource Junior every day.

One can costs 628 hryvnia, and he needs eight per month.

Svitlana is raising her son alone. Everything she earns goes toward medicine and other important needs. But no mother can calmly watch her child suffer.

Every hryvnia you donate gives Vanya the opportunity to laugh, dream, learn about the world, avoid flare-ups of his illness, and continue to develop!

Friends, please let's close this fundraiser together!
