The foundation can help with information campaigns and social advertising, distributing leaflets and posters, and placing collection boxes in chemists' shops, stores and so on. The package of documents should be sent by post to: 65030, Ukraine, Odesa, Admiralskyi Avenue, 1V — 45 (this address is given as the legal one) or brought to the office; the administrator's telephone is (048) 798-39-40.

Once the documents have been received they go to the Foundation's expert council, which studies the situation and decides whether help can be given.

In order to reach a decision the expert council may request further information (test results; images taken by magnetic resonance or computed tomography; and so on).

Rules for giving help:

The «Little Bee» foundation gives both individual help and help to hospitals (buying medicines and equipment), to departments and to groups of patients at the doctors' request, in the form of buying expensive medicines, paying for an operation or for magnetic resonance or computed tomography and so on. The foundation does not hand the money raised to parents.

The foundation does not help pay for treatment by methods of alternative medicine. If the Foundation's expert council decides to give help, the Foundation's administrator contacts the parents and invites them to draw up a legal agreement, which is signed by the Foundation and the parents.

The foundation reserves the right to refuse help if:

  • the documents are supplied only in part or their authenticity is in doubt;
  • the foundation's expert commission finds the help ineffective (for example, the chosen method of treatment or the chosen medicine is not used for this illness or cannot help in this particular case);
  • the person asking for help refuses to communicate with the foundation's staff;
  • does not take an active part in helping their own child;
  • does not provide reports on all parallel collections;
  • does not answer telephone calls or e-mails and avoids meetings;
  • does not provide the necessary information within three weeks;
  • Important!!! The charitable foundation has the right to refuse charitable help if, according to information about the fundraising in the media, including on the Internet, the money raised exceeds the sum needed for the child's treatment. In that case the money will be transferred for the treatment of another ward of the "Little Bee" foundation.
