The "Pomogat Legko" Charitable Foundation has reported a significant rise in the number of families seeking financial assistance for the treatment of children battling cancer. In July alone, the foundation received requests from 13 families needing help to cover treatment costs, purchase essential medications, undergo necessary medical examinations, and manage other healthcare expenses. The foundation stated that its current financial resources are insufficient to meet the growing demand and assist all children in need. Consequently, "Pomogat Legko" has issued an appeal to the media, businesses, and the general public, urging them to support its fundraising campaign and help disseminate information about the critical need. "We want to help every child, but right now we are forced to ask for help ourselves," the foundation conveyed in its appeal. The "Pomogat Legko" Foundation has been dedicated to supporting children with cancer for the past 12 years. The foundation provided specific details for donations, including MBank and MBusiness account numbers, as well as a MegaPay contact, emphasizing that even a small contribution can make a difference in ensuring a child receives timely and necessary medical treatment.
