2018

Our project started back in 2018, when our son Timosha was diagnosed with blood cancer (leukemia). We started treatment in Ukraine, continued in Belarus and finished in Italy. Of course, like all parents, we were looking for an opportunity for our child to get treatment in the best medical institution.

2019

Timosha died in August 2019. Treatment in one of the best clinics in Europe (Italy) left a deep impression on our hearts. It was here, being in ideal conditions for the patient and parents, that a Dream was born in our hearts. Returning to Ukraine without our boy, this Dream did not leave us.

2020

And on February 14, 2020, on Timik's earthly birthday, for the first time we told out loud to all acquaintances and strangers that with God's help we plan to build the first Christian oncology center in Ukraine for research and treatment of leukemia in children. And this Dream ceased to be only ours, it was picked up by thousands of caring hearts. We have registered the Christian Charitable Nonprofit Organization «Timothy's Smile». The task and purpose of which is the construction and ensuring the functioning of this medical institution.

Now

The construction of the hospital is the project that started our Organization. When a full-scale invasion began, we did not hold onto Nonprofit Organization funds and resources to wait until it was all over. We decided to help already! This is how the «Evacuation» project appeared, thanks to which we helped more than a hundred children receive high-quality and caring treatment in Italy. But the first Christian Children's Oncology Clinic in Ukraine remains an important and long-term project of the Nonprofit Organization.
