Ohmatdyt Children’s Hospital – 10 days to make your mark!

Fundraiser for Ohmatdyt Children’s Hospital closes on August 10th – make your mark today!

Thank you to all who helped us get to almost $600 thousand in the last 20 days! We have just over 10 days to reach our goal of donating $1 million to Ohmatdyt to help the pediatric patients with acute needs to receive the care they desperately need.

The Ohmatdyt Children’s Hospital, where the most difficult pediatric cases from across Ukraine were receiving care, was hit by a targeted Russian missile attack on July 8th – one part of the hospital was completely destroyed and several others were severely damaged.

Two weeks ago, we met with the CEO of the Ohmatdyt Foundation to assess the needs on the ground and discuss where your donations will have the biggest impact.

As we work on selecting the most suitable project to support, please give generously, if you haven’t yet, so that together, we could rebuild the hospital and save many children’s lives!
