Contents

Tabletochki is a crowdfunded organization supported by individuals, corporate donors and grants. Foundation operates in four areas: targeted family support, systematic support for pediatric oncology centers, advocating for changes in the healthcare system, and professional development of medical staff.

The Foundation's mission is to create favorable conditions for high-end medical care, psychological support and improve the quality of life of Ukrainian children with cancer during and after treatment.

History

The Foundation started in 2011 by Olya Kudinenko, [1] as a volunteering project purchasing medicines for children fighting cancer.

Since 2012 Foundation, in addition to purchasing medicines, provides apartments for temporary accommodation for sick children and their parents. In 2013–2017 years Foundation improved control over donor blood in government hospitals, [2] launched programs of psychological help, children palliative care [3] and animal-assisted therapy. [4]

In 2018 Tabletochki Foundation joined [5] the global Giving Tuesday movement.

According to the open Foundation reports, [6] in the period of 2011–2022 years over $25 million was spent on targeted assistance for 7000 children, purchasing medical equipment for hospitals and supporting launched programs.

After the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Tabletochki joined the St. Jude Hospital program to provide safe evacuation for childhood cancer patients and their families out of Ukraine. [7] [8] After over a year of full-scale war, Tabletochki continues assisting kids and their families. The foundation also helps in the process of evacuating new children based on the decision of doctors. Some children have finished treatment abroad and returned home. Another similar program for children with cancer was announced by Richard Brenson. [9]

Activity

Tabletochki provides monthly care for 500 children with cancer and 12 oncological departments all over Ukraine. [10] Other Foundations programs include purchasing medical equipment for hospitals, [11] carrying out repairs in hospital departments, [12] different types of care and therapy programs, and training of medical staff. In 2022 thanks to Foundations programs, 125 doctors and other healthcare professionals gained new knowledge and developed their professional skills in leading clinics [13] in the Netherlands, Spain, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic and Turkey.

[20] Also, Tabletochki together with non-profit organizations, public authorities, volunteers, and lawyers achieved extending of the list of other medicines for children with cancer to be procured using public funds. In 2021, Foundation experts developed part of the Ukrainian National Cancer Control Strategy until 2030.

In 2023, Tabletochki signed a new memorandum with the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. This is a continuation of the document signed in 2017. [21] The document confirms the common goal of ensuring that all children with cancer and hematological diseases receive high-quality medical care.
