Our foundation regularly holds various kinds of benefit actions, aiming at driving people’s attention to the problem of children cancer.
Sure, the financial side of the events is of utter importance, but still we get much more than donations. We meet real friends!
Many people, who donated as much as they could, stay after that with us and help the Foundation in solving important problems. For instance, many people are engaged in kids’ activities, help in filling up moms’ free time, make performances and concerts in hospitals, support the foundation in benefit events, and bring their friends.
And that is precious! We do cherish all your help!
This page is for you to get to know which projects are coming. We hope, you'll get interested in participation, help or just being friends!
Join us!

Help in accommodation of families needed
Children from all Russian regions and CIS countries are treated in the Children Oncology and Hematology Research Institute. Children with their parents have to come to Moscow several times per year to make control tests.
Many families have no relatives or friends in Moscow, and they just have no place to stay for this short term. Pity, hotels and rented apartments are quite expensive.
Dear friends, if you can provide a coming family with some accommodation, please, call “Nastenka” foundation: +7 495 980 53 77.

Benefit action “Million Hearts"
Give your heart to children! On a petal-heart you can write your wishes to the little patients in the Children Oncology and Hematology Research Institute and then hang it on a symbolic Life Tree. After the action, the tree will be placed in the hall of hospital, and kids will read your wishes. “Million Hearts” aims at driving the attention of the population towards the children cancer problem and raise 1.000.000 USD (and more!) to purchase medicines and medical equipment for the Children Oncology and Hematology Research Institute.

Beauty Day in Hospital
