THE KHERSON ONCOHEMATOLOGY DEPARTMENT
RECEIVED SIX INFUSION PUMPS
 

A letter from the Dotik Yangola volunteer group, city of Kherson:

I want to share our joy with you.

Six infusion pumps were received at the Oncological Department of our children's hospital on Tuesday, October 5. A representative of the Artur-K company brought them from the city of Nikolaev. The infusions were handed at the playroom of the department. Everybody listened attentively and nodded. And when everything ended, the doctors and nurses ran to look at the strange boxes with buttons.

Everything started this February, when a guest from the Overcoming Mission (Simferopol) came to our city. They had a conversation with Vera Red'kina, our head of department, and concluded that finding sponsors for buying the infusion pumps may be possible. Vera Gavrilovna confessed that she did not expect any results when she was writing a letter with a plea to buy the pumps.

But... the Save a Russian Child Foundation in Amsterdam collected the money and bought the infusion pumps for Kherson!

All our words of GRATITUDE to Sergei Moiseev, to the Crimean Overcoming Mission, and to everybody else who took part in this action. Our doctors, parents, and volunteers thank you!
