Rescue transplantation

      In accordance with Agreement No. 21 on cooperation between the Ukrainian Charity Exchange Charitable Foundation and the charity aid operator  Pomagayem Charitable Foundation dated 31 August 2020 and additional agreement No. 21.79 dated 12 August 2016, the project ‘Life-saving Transplant’ was posted on the website of the Charitable Organisation International Charitable Foundation ‘UBB’ - dobro.ua - with the aim of attracting charitable donations for a kidney transplant in Belarus for Solomiya Segedi.
      Thanks to the Ukrainian Charity Exchange, UAH 151,561.00 (one hundred and fifty-one thousand five hundred and sixty-one hryvnias, 00 kopecks) was raised, and the project amount was reduced to the amount raised, according to letter No. 329 dated 17 November 2016. This amount was subsequently transferred to the account of the Pomagayem Charitable Foundation to pay for Solomiya's treatment. However, in June 2017, the Ministry of Health of Ukraine agreed to pay for the transplant. Since December 2016, Solomiya had been waiting in Minsk for a cadaveric organ.
      The girl waited for a donor for 3.5 years. On the recommendation of doctors, a cochlear implantation was planned in Turkey in May 2018. The girl's mother begged us and the UBB to spend the money on this, as she already had most of the amount from additional sources. According to letter No. 122 dated 08.05.2018, payment for this operation was agreed with the UBB. But, unfortunately, Solomiya's heart condition worsened, and the operation was postponed. The girl was treated at OKHMATDIT. The funds have been in the account of the International Hospital of St. Luke since May 2018.
      In the autumn of 2018, Solomiya underwent a kidney transplant in Minsk! That same autumn, she received a cochlear implant (at the expense of the state) — due to taking antibiotics as a child, she was unable to hear. Unfortunately, the girl developed transplant pyelonephritis. For two years, she had to take the drug Valcyte continuously. Therefore, according to letter No. 238 of 2 November 2018, a change in the project's goal was agreed upon.
      In January 2019, we paid for two packs of the drug for Solomiya from the funds collected on UBB, at a cost of 53,214.60 (fifty-three thousand two hundred and fourteen hryvnias, 60 kopecks). We did not spend any funds on the transplant, which was paid for by the Ministry of Health, but we were able to support the child with medication. 
      In December 2020, her mother asked us to pay for consumables for the implant, and we paid 8,865.00 hryvnias (eight thousand eight hundred and sixty-five hryvnias, 00 kopecks). 
     In 2021, we purchased the necessary medicines for the girl in the amount of 30,317.05 UAH (thirty thousand three hundred seventeen hryvnias, 05 kopecks), in 2022 - in the amount of 5,204.00 (five thousand two hundred four hryvnias, 00 kopecks), in 2023 – in the amount of 11,848.08 UAH (eleven thousand eight hundred forty-eight hryvnias, 08 kopecks), in 2024 – in the amount of 5,417.92 UAH (five thousand four hundred seventeen hryvnias, 92 kopecks). 
      In May 2025, we supported the girl with medicines worth 3,190.36 hryvnias (three thousand one hundred and ninety hryvnias, 36 kopecks).
      Currently, Solomiya's condition is not very stable. The girl is in the clinic for examination due to changes in her test results. After receiving all the results of the examination, a decision will be made on the further plan of action for the child's treatment. In July of this year, rehabilitation for her ear is planned, and a little later, another one to support her kidneys.    
      Solya also continues her schooling and is looking forward to the summer holidays. 
      The remaining funds for the project amount to 33,503.99 hryvnias (thirty-three thousand five hundred and three hryvnias, 99 kopecks), which we will continue to spend on Solomiya's needs in 2025. 
      After the full implementation of the project, we undertake to provide a detailed report in accordance with the terms and conditions of Agreement No. 21 on cooperation between the Ukrainian Charity Exchange Charitable Organisation and the POMAGAEM Charitable Foundation dated 31 August 2020 and Additional Agreement No. 21.79 dated 12 August 2016. 
      We thank the donors and the UBB team for their help and support!
