Completed Projects - Irina & Vitaly Medical Assessment


Funding Goal: $800
Raised: $800

An Orphan's Bright Star was approached by Pascal and LAdS (Friends of Svieta, svieta.org) to help with securing treatment for 2 children from Nikolaiev Baby House. Both children required assessments in Kiev at the Kiev Maxilo-facial surgery institute to confirm and complete their diagnosis. Both children have cleft issues and one has hip bone and blood problems as well. The orphanage must pay for travel to the treatment location.


We were asked to help fund their trip to Kiev and the special feeding equipment (obturator) that must be custom made for Vitaly.

UPDATE: Irina & Vitaly traveled to Kiev and their surgeries were a success! Expenses are itemized below:

  • Petrol - $91.80

  • Food (5 people * 3 days) - $102.80

  • Medical supplies for hospital visit - $39.60

  • Food for hospital stay - $62.00
  • Flat 2 nights - $240.00

  • Taxi - $34.00

  • Additional needs during hospital stay - $100.00

  • Palatal obturator - $400.00
