Today, when war has come to our country, we are changing our priorities so that peace can come to our state as soon as possible!
Now we have a task – to support morally and financially the women who have suffered the most from the actions of the Russian occupiers. That is why the Assisto project was launched in August 2022. From a small idea to help Ukrainians who have suffered from the war, we are implementing systemic mechanisms, implementing a policy of “comprehensive care”.
In the distant year of 2016, our family faced a terrible challenge – an incurable (orphan) disease. Yuri Andreev was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia – a condition in which a person’s bone marrow stops producing a sufficient number of blood cells. Critically low indicators, lack of medication and, most importantly, financial opportunities. This was our reality. In a short time, we were able to raise money and, more importantly, find the drug that was necessary to start treatment. The disease was put into remission.
We learned to live with this disease. Although, it never lets us forget about it. But we only tune in to the positive.
The Foundation works to protect mental and physical health in Ukraine through assistance, advocacy, information, education, and development of a network of activists and volunteers, as well as providing access to complex and expensive treatment and resocialization of the individual.
The Foundation promotes the development of healthcare, participates in providing the population with medical care and psychological rehabilitation, promotes the practical implementation of international, national, regional and local programs aimed at ensuring affordable and high-quality medical care, and provides targeted assistance to patients in need of treatment in Ukraine and abroad.
