Margarita is a wonderfully sweet and playful little girl we met at the National Cancer Institute in Kyiv, Ukraine just before she underwent transplant surgery. With the help of Soleterre, Margarita's journey will continue with post-operative care to support her on the road to recovery.

Margarita's life may soon be free from cancer, but the continues to rage on around her. Where most of the hospital beds are filled with soldiers wounded on the front lines, space for children like Margarita is getting to be less and less. Help us to care for these children and support their uninterrupted treatment.

It's back to business as usual at Dar Al Amal in Marrakech! One of Soleterre's eight family homes, repairs to the building are finally complete after the severe earthquake that devastated on September 8th of last year.

For all the children living at Dar Al Amal, the space aims to offer a kind of refuge for them and their families from the stress related to ongoing cancer treatments. Our psychologist on staff there works with these families towards a more wholistic approach to mental health—including tennis classes! Activities like tennis help families to take a break from their concerns over illness and being far from home while having fun together.

👉 Donate to Dar Al Amal or one of the other Casa Soleterre family homes today:

Santiago is only 2 years old and already his fight against leukemia has begun.

Back home, his two siblings Giulia and Martino anxiously await for him to return home and be free to play with them once again. Typically, this family spends their time traveling and camping in the great outdoors. Lately, however, their rhythm has drastically changed.

Santiago has been spending his time in and out of the hospital, returning frequently for chemotherapy sessions and routine check-ups. Santiago's father, Giovanni, still is hopeful that some day their lives will return to normal once again, but for Santiago's mother Antonella, she has her doubts. Given the seriousness of Santiago's diagnosis, she doubts that her family's life will ever be the same again. Even so, she is prepared to rise to the challange and do her best to be there for her son no matter what.

Since Santiago was diagnosed with leukemia, the family's life has drastically changed. Antonella & Giovanni are working with our staff psychologist to process the difficulties they face as parents—the constant struggle to support one another as partners and give their 3 children the attention they need, despite spreading themselves thin between home life and repeat trips to the hospital.

Today, Santiago is on the road to recovery. Visiting his room at the Polyclinic of Pavia, you can't help but notice the plentiful photographs of his family surrounding him. He often glances at those of his siblings, longing to play with them again soon. Today, Santiago continues to be very outgoing and social, offering a charming smile to all those he meets, as if to say thank you for all their support ❤️.

Earlier this week, many children celebrated Christmas in the hospital continuing their respective course of treatment. Spending the holidays away from home is difficult, but even more so for the pediatric patients in hospitals round the world. Thanks to the creativity and support of our psychologists, however, the stressful time passed with more serenity.

Soothing the mind is so important while the body heals. Soleterre hopes that everyone found some piece of mind this holiday season & we thank all of those supporters who donated this season to help these families in their time of need.

Stas was only 12 years old when a Russian-launched missile attack destroyed his home and scarred him severely. Shrapnel injured his face and reached deep inside his skull damaging his brain. After the attack he was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery, where he remained for a week in a coma. When he finally awoke, Stas was unable to speak and had lost movement in his legs.

Now Stas is in Lviv at Saint Nicholas Hospital. Undergoing treatment at , Stas is regularly working with a speech pathologist to recover his voice.
