How to receive our aid
Our Foundation renders help both to specific patients and to medical centers or groups of patients on doctor's request. We work with all regions of Russia. It is our intention to make the procedure of obtaining help as easy as possible, however there are certain requirements which have to be fulfilled. If you are a patient or a relative, a friend of the patient, if you are a doctor needing help for your patients, you are welcome here.
Our conditions of providing help
- Help is provided on a request by the patient family or the patient's doctor after necessary documents are provided.
- Everyone who requests help of our Foudation is contacted by our representative. If you have not been contacted within 24 hours please call us yourself.
- Help is rendered after checking documents and meeting medical specialists. We will try to do this as quickly as possible.
- Every recipient of our aid is visited by our volunteers. You can leave additional requests with them if the need arises.
- Our aid consists of solving your specific problem, not of cash. Money can be given to you if it was donated specifically for you and was not fully used on solving your problem. However if you lack cash for everyday living, refer to our volunteer or contact us and we'll come up with something.
- Unfortunately we cannot help immediately in every case. If our current funds are insufficient, we will start fundrarising on your behalf. This can take time.
- President of the Foundation reserves the right to refuse aid in the following cases:
- if the submitted documents are incomplete or their authencity is doubtful;
- if requested medical aid is to be provided by people or organizations not legally authorized to provide medical services;
- if requested medical aid is ruled ineffective by Foundation experts (e.g., the treatment selected is not used to treat the given disease or cannot help in your case);
- if the person requesting aid avoids communication with the Foundation employees and volunteers, including phone calls, emails, personal meetings, or if this person does not reveal all the necessary information.
