No child fights the illness alone.
We are the parents who have walked this road. That is why we stand by every child with an oncohaematological disease in Bulgaria, and by their family — from the first day in the clinic to life after the illness. Free of charge.
From the first day in the clinic to life after the illness.
Treatment lasts from 6 months to 3 years, sometimes a lifetime. At every step, the child and the family have someone beside them who has been there.
-
The first daysThe diagnosis
The illness comes suddenly. We answer the questions every family with a newly diagnosed child faces — about treatment, rights and the road ahead. As parents who have been in the same place.
-
Months in hospitalThe treatment
At the Golden Ribbon centre, right next to the clinic, children play, paint and meet friends who understand, while parents find a psychologist and a shoulder. A teacher comes to the bedside so no child falls behind.
-
Together againThe recovery
At the St. Stylianos Rehabilitation Centre the whole family receives free psychological and physical rehabilitation. Every summer our camps bring together children in treatment, survivors and their brothers and sisters.

After the story of the illnessThe story of victories
Children who have beaten cancer compete at the Balkan Sports Games we organise in Panagyurishte — in 2026, more than 70 children from five countries. We help them build self-belief and find paths for personal and professional growth.
My child was here too. And now they are healthy — studying, dancing, dreaming. A long road lies ahead of you, but it will all pass.
