Lilia’s story

A spirit that remains unbroken

Courage in the face of cancer.

Lilia was just 7 years old when she was diagnosed with cancer. Now 12, she is still undergoing treatment, and the tumor has severely affected her vision, leaving her almost completely blind.

A child’s courage

Despite the challenges she faces, Lilia’s spirit remains unbroken. She excels at school, attends music classes, and loves to sing, filling her days with creativity and joy.

Lilia dreams of attending a specialised school in Kyiv for children with disabilities, where she can continue learning, growing, and reaching her potential.

In Ukraine, three families hear the devastating words “your child has cancer” every single day. 

With the support of ReliefAid and our donors, children like Lilia suffering from cancer can access the treatment, care, and educational opportunities they need, ensuring that even in the midst of conflict, hope and opportunity continue to flourish.
