Help Vanya cope with Crohn's disease

      Until the age of nine, Ivan was a normal, healthy boy. But in 2021, his health began to deteriorate. At the Rudnev Centre in Dnipro, Ivan was diagnosed with Crohn's disease.
      In accordance with cooperation agreement No. 21 between the Ukrainian Charity Exchange International Charitable Foundation and the charity aid operator POMAGAEM Charitable Foundation dated 31 August 2020 and supplementary agreement No. 21. 293 dated 27 November 2024, the project ‘Help Vanya cope with Crohn's disease’ was posted on the website of the Ukrainian Charity Exchange - dobro.ua - with the aim of attracting donations to pay for the treatment of Ivan Shymansky. 
      During the fundraising campaign, it became necessary to use part of the funds collected on the website of the Ukrainian Charity Exchange International Charitable Foundation (UCCF) – dobro.ua – to purchase special food for the boy. Therefore, according to letter No. 763 dated 12 December 2024, we received the collected amount of 4,340.00 UAH (four thousand three hundred and forty hryvnias, 00 kopecks) to the Fund's account and continued the collection on the dobro.ua platform. 
      In December 2024, we spent all the transferred funds on paying for special food for Ivan in the amount of 4,340.00 UAH (four thousand three hundred and forty hryvnias, 00 kopecks).
      In 2025, the boy's family again turned to us with a request to support Ivan with the necessary special food. Therefore, according to letters No. 177 dated 06.05.2025 and No. 494 dated 17.09.2025 we received 18,600.00 UAH (eighteen thousand six hundred hryvnias, 00 kopecks) and 10,123.00 UAH (ten thousand one hundred twenty-three hryvnias, 00 kopecks) to the Fund's account and continued fundraising on the dobro.ua platform.
      In September 2025, we provided the boy with the necessary special food Resource Junior in the amount of 9,772.80 UAH (nine thousand seven hundred and seventy-two hryvnias, 80 kopecks).
      Vanya is currently experiencing health problems. After undergoing MSEC treatment, his treatment became more rigorous, and the dosage of certain drugs was increased. Ivan is now undergoing a three-month course of treatment to support his liver. At the same time, taking chemotherapy drugs (Metodzhet) causes some complications. 
      Vanya is studying remotely. Several new subjects have appeared at school, which the boy finds interesting. It is good that there is no heavy workload thanks to the individual format of learning. Vanya likes to ride his bike in the yard with his peers. He also helps his mother with household chores, especially cooking.
      We plan to use the remaining unused funds in the amount of 350.20 UAH (three hundred and fifty hryvnias, 20 kopecks) for the boy's needs in 2025, as the project is still raising funds.
      We sincerely thank the donors and partners of dobro.ua for their help, and the UBB team for their many years of cooperation!
