Sasha can live without suffering

     Up until the age of four months, Sashko was developing like any other child – he could hold his head up and roll over. Then, suffering from a high temperature and convulsions, he was admitted to the intensive care unit. The fight for the little boy’s life, his treatment and rehabilitation began. In 2023, Oleksandr was diagnosed with a rare degenerative disease of the central nervous system: leukodystrophy.
      In accordance with Cooperation Agreement No. 21 between the Charitable Organisation International Charitable Foundation ‘Ukrainian Charity Exchange’ and the charitable aid operator, the Charitable Foundation ‘POMAGAEM’, dated 31 August 2020, and Supplementary Agreement No. 21. No. 330 of 12 August 2025, the project ‘Sashko Can Live Without Suffering’ was published on the website of the Charitable Organisation International Charitable Foundation ‘Ukrainian Charity Exchange’ – dobro.ua – with the aim of raising donations to cover the cost of Oleksandr Zadreiko’s treatment.
      During the fundraising campaign, it became necessary to use part of the funds raised on the website of the Charitable Organisation International Charitable Foundation ‘Ukrainian Charity Exchange’ – dobro.ua – to purchase food, consumables and hygiene products for the boy. Therefore, in accordance with letter No. 423 dated 19 August 2025, we received the raised sum of 34,120.00 UAH (thirty-four thousand one hundred and twenty hryvnias, 00 kopecks) into the Fund’s account and continued the fundraising campaign on the dobro.ua platform. A further 83,900.00 UAH (eighty-three thousand nine hundred hryvnias, 00 kopecks) was credited to the Fund’s account in accordance with letter No. 559 dated 27 October 2025.
      In 2025, we supported Oleksandr with medicines and consumables totalling 47,575.18 UAH (forty-seven thousand five hundred and seventy-five hryvnias, 18 kopecks).
      The initial budget for the project was 190,348.00 UAH (one hundred and ninety thousand three hundred and forty-eight hryvnias, 00 kopecks)        Once the full amount required to cover Sasha’s treatment had been raised on two fundraising platforms – the Ukrainian Charity Exchange (UCE) and the ‘Pomahayem’ Charitable Foundation – we requested that the fundraising campaign be closed, that the project amount on the Ukrainian Charity Exchange be reduced to the actual amount raised – 167,503.00 UAH (one hundred and sixty-seven thousand, five hundred and three hryvnias, 00 kopecks), and to transfer the remaining funds – 49,483.00 UAH (forty-nine thousand four hundred and eighty-three hryvnias, 00 kopecks) – to cover the boy’s medical treatment and project administration, in accordance with letter No. 185 dated 1 May 2026.
      In February 2026, we supported the boy with hygiene products and consumables totalling 8,062.50 UAH (eight thousand sixty-two hryvnias, 50 kopecks); in March, we helped to purchase the specialised nutritional supplement Nutrison Multi Fibre, medicines and consumables totalling 44,183.20 UAH (forty-four thousand one hundred and eighty-three hryvnias, 20 kopecks). In April, we purchased hygiene products and consumables totalling 9,806.30 UAH (nine thousand eight hundred and six hryvnias, 30 kopecks), in May, we donated specialised nutritional products and consumables worth 30,578.76 UAH (thirty thousand five hundred and seventy-eight hryvnias, 76 kopecks); in June, we provided assistance to Sashko amounting to 2,357.50 UAH (two thousand three hundred and fifty-seven hryvnias, 50 kopecks), and in August, we provided medicines and consumables worth 4,279.10 UAH (four thousand two hundred and seventy-nine hryvnias, 10 kopecks).
      Unfortunately, the boy’s condition remains consistently serious, and there are currently no signs of improvement.
      Neurological disorders continue to progress, and frequent bouts of pneumonia are occurring due to his prolonged bed rest. Doctors have also noted the development of contractures in his legs, muscle atrophy and a loss of sensation in the knee area.
      Despite all the difficulties, his mum is by her son’s side every day. She constantly looks after him, closely monitors his condition and does everything possible to ensure her son receives the necessary care and support.
      We plan to use the remaining unspent funds, amounting to 20,660.46 UAH (twenty thousand six hundred and sixty hryvnias, 46 kopecks), to meet Sashko’s needs until the end of October 2026.
      We would like to express our sincere thanks to the donors and partners at dobro.ua for their help, and to the UBB team for their long-standing cooperation!
