With the onset of winter, when everything around is reminiscent of the Christmas and New Year holidays, children all over the world are looking forward to a miracle. And I especially want to give the feeling of a fairy tale to those who need it most.
The OKKO filling stations network and the Tabletochki charitable foundation decided that children's dreams of living, being healthy and happy will come true faster if each of us does a simple routine. To do this, it is enough to take part in the joint charitable action "Rizdvyana kava - your good on the right", which will last from December 1 to December 31 in the network of OKKO filling stations. The funds collected during the campaign will be used to purchase medicines for the wards of the fund, which are treated in children's cancer centers in the country.
Under the terms of the promotion, every OKKO customer can do a good deed by simply purchasing any hot drink during December from 6:00 to 11:00 am at one of the 400 filling stations of the chain. 1 hryvnia from the cost of each drink will be transferred to the "Tabletchki" charity foundation, which is taken care of by children with cancer. And if an OKKO guest also pays with a Mastercard, the amount of deductions will increase to 2 hryvnias. So, while enjoying your favorite coffee or aromatic tea, you can give small children a piece of warmth and faith in a brighter future.
All the funds raised will be used to purchase the drug Vancomycin, a powerful antibiotic that is needed by about 30% of children with cancer in Ukraine. These are quite expensive drugs that are purchased abroad and the purchase of which is not compensated by the state. Today, about 700 children in Ukraine use this drug, and about half of them apply for help to the Tabletchki charitable foundation. The initiators of the action "Rizdvyana Kava - Your Goodness on the Right" hope that thanks to the indifference of the Ukrainians, during December it will be possible to collect enough money to buy a supply of "Vancomycin" for these children for the next year.
The OKKO network has repeatedly joined the campaigns organized by the Tabletchki charity fund, realizing that every hryvnia of help is an additional chance for a child to recover. In particular, the company supported such initiatives as the International Day of the Child with Cancer and the Lemonade Day charity flash mob, donating part of the proceeds from coffee and refreshments to the fund. In June, the company held a charity fair selling sweets, hand-made art items by OKKO employees, as well as souvenirs from Tabletochok. All proceeds were also donated to help children with cancer. Now the OKKO filling station sells a book by Ekaterina Babkina "The Hat and the Whale" - from the sale of each copy of which 5 hryvnia is transferred to the "Tablet" fund.
“Cooperating with the“Tabletchki”foundation in the issue of custody of children with cancer, we focus not only on financial, but also on emotional results. It is important for us that at this pre-holiday time, as many people as possible feel like philanthropists, having made their contribution to a large, important, good cause, - comments the head of the communications department of the OKKO filling station network Alexander Shevelev. “We are talking with our employees and with the guests of our gas stations that, perhaps, there are children nearby who are now fighting for their health and for whom support and help is extremely important. Caring for them and empathy is no less important to them than the amount of funds raised."
