      Due to the stress experienced by his mother Victoria, Andriy was born at 35 weeks of pregnancy with signs of hypoxia. The discharge summary stated: hypoxic-ischaemic damage to the central nervous system. At one and a half years old, the boy stopped talking, looking people in the eye, waved his arms like wings, and became selective in his eating habits. Three years later, he was diagnosed with childhood autism.
      In accordance with cooperation agreement No. 21 between the Ukrainian Charity Exchange Charitable Foundation and the charity aid operator POMAGAEM Charitable Foundation dated 31 August 2020 and supplementary agreement No. 21. 336 dated 17 September 2025, the project ‘Strength for a Little Dreamer’ was posted on the website of the charitable organisation International Charitable Foundation ‘Ukrainian Charity Exchange’ - dobro.ua - with the aim of attracting donations to pay for the treatment of Andriy Kovalchuk.
      During the fundraising campaign, it became necessary to use part of the funds collected on the website of the Ukrainian Charity Exchange Charitable Organisation (UCE) – dobro.ua – to purchase medicines and special food for the boy. Therefore, according to letter No. 502 dated 29 September 2025, we received the collected amount of 5,680.00 UAH (five thousand six hundred and eighty hryvnias, 00 kopecks) to the Fund's account and continued the collection on the dobro.ua platform.
      In early October, we purchased and delivered special food and medicines for Andriyko for a total amount of 4,339.20 UAH (four thousand three hundred and thirty-nine hryvnias, 20 kopecks). 
      He is currently experiencing health problems: the boy is on a strict diet due to colitis treatment. He has become more responsible at home: he cleans up after himself, washes his cup, makes his own tea, and sometimes helps cut vegetables. His biggest dream is to be healthy. 
Despite the obstacles, Andriy is in second grade. He attends a hybrid school, with some days online and others offline. Andriy loves school and happily gets up at 7 a.m. He likes wearing his backpack and shirts. At school, he has found a friend with whom he gets along very well. They sit together at their desks and are paired up for holidays. Andriy enjoys learning.
We plan to use the remaining unused funds in the amount of 1,340.80 UAH (one thousand three hundred and forty hryvnias, 80 kopecks) for the boy's needs in 2025; 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!
