And we are truly satisfied with what is being done for Ukraine and Ukrainians, – shared the founder of the Charitable Fund Alona Lebedieva.
“Life presents us with many challenges, but we must always remain true to our own values, – said Alona Lebedieva, – For me, personally, children are the most precious thing in life. Therefore, from the very beginning, the foundation has been concerned about providing better medicine for our children. And despite the war and the high concentration of the foundation team on helping the Armed Forces, we continue to implement and support existing projects to help children. In total, over 5 years of work, the Foundation has sent about 10 million hryvnias to various aid objects.”
