Our mission is to provide assistance to seriously ill children and their families. Every day we help seriously ill children hospitalized at the National Institute of Cancer, at the Pediatric Clinic of Neurosurgery and at the Western Ukrainian Specialized Pediatric Medical Center. In 7 years we helped for the total amount of more than 20 000 000 UAH. Almost a third of these funds were used for medicines and medical supplies. We purchased modern equipment for operating rooms and diagnostic laboratories of the hospitals. We renovated an operating room, patient rooms, a kitchen and a game room at the Pediatric Clinic for Neurosurgery, a game room at the Western Ukrainian Specialized Pediatric Medical Center, psychologists' room and physical therapy room at the National Institute of Cancer. We paid for treatment in foreign clinics for four children. We provided more than 20 families with air plane tickets for treatment abroad. Our experts work at the hospitals. We finance the work of psychologists in all the departments that we support and the work of two physiotherapists at the National Cancer Institute.

In 2010 we opened a representative office in Lviv which is engaged in the projects related to migration processes in Ukraine.

Enriching the lives of young adults ages 18-24 and their families fighting cancer. Young adults, ages 18-24, have very specific concerns when they are diagnosed with cancer. This is a time in their lives when they want to meet others and form close relationships. It's a time when they want to focus on school, careers, and starting families. Instead their time is spent in treatment at children's hospitals, where they most certainly feel it's a step backwards. Cancer robs them of the cherished independence their peers enjoy. Some wishes celebrate the completion of treatment. Some are for taking a needed break from treatment to rejuvenate for the continued fight. And, some are a last wish to spend the remaining precious time with loved ones. Typically, a Nik's Wish grant will cost $6000. Our amazing Wish Coordinators work directly with the young adults and their families to create awesome experiences filled with joy, love, and FUN! The memories created are priceless for the entire family. Read the testimonials from some of the families
