In Kiev is the hospital department in which live children for a long time, because of chronic kidney failure. In this department children live for years, waiting for the turn to kidney transplantation. And they need to be in the hospital, because they are on dialysis. Today children sleep on beds that have to be changed long time ago because of the old lifetime. Mattresses are already available for new beds. Near every bed is a bedside table. The bedside tables are also falling apart. We with children started drawing pictures for their selling at the exhibition. We want to earn money. I believe, that together with your participation, we will be able to close this issue. We declare the fund-raising for making beds!
Olga Matyushok, head of Kiev oncology dispensary children’s unit, Ukraine
«What Rivil and team of “Strong-willed” do, I mean fairy tale therapy and art therapy, this will never make things worse. So the doors of our department are always open for her.
The purpose of alternative medicine is to help, right?.. And this is exactly what she does, she is helping our children.
Honestly speaking, it is difficult for evaluation from a medical point of view... I mean, you can not measure it with any ruler or see it on ultrasonography. Though..., indirectly if a child is in a good mood, he/she can play and eat better, so blood test will be better too»

Fixiks are so tiny that people cannot see them. That is why people do not guess who actually fix their home equipment. The fixiks’ names are Simka and Nolik.
