Children

All children come from poor economic backgrounds, with the parents earning between 100 - 300 usd monthly.

Up to November 2005 our list of children receiving our help counted 80. All our children come from poor economic backgrounds, whereby their parents have a monthly income of between 100 – 300 Usd . Often these children are raised by their mothers only. Usually there are no funds available for expensive medicines typical in the treatment of cancer. As is the nature of this sickness, we often deal with emergencies and medication is needed urgently. In life threatening cases decisions have to be taken rapidly as to how much we can spend on a specific case. In cases of longer term treatment we try to involve parents and other institutions in the financing of the cure. We try to find godfathers for specific children that will financially foster the child through until it is declared cured.

The following four children are examples of profiles from our list.

In the course of our work we continually experience success stories, especially when a child can terminate its treatment and is declared as cured. However, sometimes we face sad drawbacks. Children for whom we had hoped for recovery enter into terminal stage and all we can do for them is to fulfill them a last wish or help their parents finance a decent burial. 

When we receive all those letters and drawings from parents and children, who want to thank us and our donors for yet another life safed, we know that our work is worth the effort.
