What the charity does

Gift of Life gives support to children and young people up to the age of 25 whose families cannot afford to pay for their cancer treatments including the purchase of critical anti-tumour medications, which are not available in Russia or the CIS. Our beneficiaries are from Russia and the CIS countries, and they receive oncological and haematological treatments in Russian clinics.
