Meet Shukovini family

His Hands Charity has a goal of helping less fortunate/sick children, individuals and elderly who are in need of medical or temporal assistance.

Here in America we are fortunate to have many organizations that help needy people. His Hands Charity wants to bring the relief to children and families in Ukraine.

This and next year we are focusing our efforts on helping two single parent families with children who have cystic fibrosis. These children are in need of a very expensive antibiotic treatment that they can't afford.
 
Meet Shukovini  family.
 
 
 Single Mom Victoria and her 17 year old son Ilya is one of the families that we are helping this year. Besides having Cystic Fibrosis in May 2011 Ilya had a planned surgery after which he had complications, what  resulted in another surgery. After the second surgery Ilya lost 35 lb. With his main diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis loosing 35 lb makes it very hard for his lungs to support his body. That is why he is in need of antibiotic treatment and other life sustaining medicine.
  Here is Ilya doi9ng his breathing treatments
 
Ilya says he does not want to give up and he is a fighter. He sees how much his mom and other people love him and care for him. 
Ilya has a dream. He wants to be a producer and make a movie about wonderful people who help him live. 
Victoria at work.

Victoria, Ilya's Mom became a single Mom after her husband has died. She often works overtime to make the ends meet and support Ilya's medical expenses, but it is not enough.
