The Mészáros Group supports the Ádám Kosztyu Memorial Foundation for Children with Leukemia, Cancer and Zemplén with Disabilities and the Bone Marrow Transplantation Foundation with HUF 15 million. The donor supports the most disadvantaged, sick and disabled young people and their parents.
The amount will be used to build a recreational rest house for children and young people suffering from cancer, and contribute to the medical treatment of children who have undergone bone marrow transplants and to improving the conditions of their care at home, the Mészáros Group announced.
In memory of Ádám Kosztyu, the Foundation for Children with Leukemia, Cancer and Zemplén Disabilities helps the integration of children and young people with cancer, as well as chronically ill and disabled children and their families, by providing medication, healing activities, supporting foreign treatments, facilitating the accommodation conditions of sick children, and organizing camps.
The foundation creates a recreation rest house in Sárazsadány, Zemplén County, where families in trouble are helped to reintegrate and rehabilitate with vacations, as some spend long months, and some even years, in the hospital. The Mészáros Group will contribute half of the costs of the twenty million HUF investment, they wrote in Tuesday's announcement.
The Bone Marrow Transplantation Foundation supports children and their families who have undergone bone marrow transplantation at the Dél-Pest Centrumhospital National Institute of Hematology and Infectology by contributing to the creation of a sterile room at home, the costs of special medicines and a special diet. "Due to the constant visits to the hospital and supervision, one parent is forced to give up his job, and at the same time, medication, diet, and hygiene regulations impose a huge financial burden on families. Five million forints provided by the Mészáros Group will help families in trouble due to changed living conditions," reads the information sheet.
Krisztina Tóth, communications director of the Mészáros Group, said about the support: both foundations support the most vulnerable, sick and disabled young people and their parents. "One of the guiding principles of the operation of our company group is the creation of value, and we consider it an honor to cooperate with organizations that choose one of the noblest and at the same time the most difficult ways of creating value: they work on the recovery of sick children in need of help".
According to the announcement, depending on the epidemiological measures, families in need are expected to be able to use the recreation center in the summer, and support for children who have undergone bone marrow transplants is ongoing.
