Your wisdom, calmness, experience, and hands – are not just professionalism. It's a true gift.

Today, we, the Charitable Organization "Mother and Child", on behalf of all our fostered children, on behalf of every saved child, on behalf of parents who found hope, and on behalf of our entire team, who walks side by side with you, sincerely thank you.

For every child we saved together.

For every operation we supported – morally, materially, humanly.

For every "everything will be fine" you said, holding a child's hand.

Happy Birthday, Mykhailo Ivanovych!

May the Lord protect you.

May your strength never run out, and may the love you give to the world every day return a hundredfold.
