Why We Exist
Our Mission
Every action we take is guided by a single belief — that every life is worth fighting for.
Every action we take is guided by a single belief — that every life is worth fighting for.
We exist to stand beside children and families in their most difficult moments — to raise funds, to rally communities, and to prove that no one has to face hardship alone.
The mission of the WARTO ŻYĆ DLA KOGOŚ Foundation is to provide real, meaningful support to children and families who are fighting for their health, dignity, and future. We organise fundraisers, charity events, and community campaigns that channel the goodwill of ordinary people into extraordinary outcomes.
We believe that financial barriers should never stand between a child and the treatment they need. We work to close that gap — one fundraiser, one event, one act of solidarity at a time.
We envision a Poland — and a world — where no family is left to struggle alone. Where communities come together instinctively, where compassion is not an exception but a shared norm, and where every child has access to the care they deserve regardless of their family's financial situation.
We strive to be a foundation that people trust completely — transparent in our work, relentless in our efforts, and deeply rooted in the communities we serve across Poland.
From the first contact with a family in need to the final disbursement of funds — here is how we work.
Our network of volunteers, supporters, and community contacts helps us identify families and children who urgently need financial support. We carefully verify each case to ensure that every fundraiser is genuine and every zloty reaches the right person.
Once a case is confirmed, we create a dedicated fundraiser on our platform. We set a clear financial goal, explain exactly what the funds will cover — whether that is surgery, rehabilitation equipment, therapy, or ongoing medical care — and share the story with our community.
We organise charity events, sports challenges, concerts, picnics, and awareness campaigns to drive donations. Our volunteers go above and beyond — from running relay races in freezing water to organising large-scale community picnics — all to raise awareness and funds.
Every donation is tracked and accounted for. We maintain full transparency with our donors and the families we support. Funds are disbursed directly for the stated purpose — medical bills, equipment, therapy sessions — with full documentation provided.
Our relationship with families doesn't end when the fundraiser closes. We follow up, share updates with donors, and where possible continue to support families through the full course of their treatment or recovery journey.
These are the non-negotiable values that shape every decision we make.
Every person we help is treated with the utmost respect and care. We never reduce anyone to their illness or their circumstances. Behind every fundraiser is a human being whose dignity matters.
We publish our activities, fundraiser outcomes, and financial summaries openly. Our donors deserve to know exactly how their generosity is making a difference — and we make sure they do.
We are not a distant institution — we are neighbours, parents, and friends. Our strength comes from local communities who believe in the same things we do: that together, we can do more.
Medical emergencies don't wait. When a family reaches out to us, we move quickly. We understand that delays can cost lives, and we act with the urgency that every situation demands.
We do not place conditions on our support. Whether a family is from Przygodzice or Gdańsk, whether they are well-known or completely unknown — if they need help and we can provide it, we will.
We build lasting relationships with donors, partners, and communities so that our capacity to help grows year after year. Every supporter we gain today means more lives we can reach tomorrow.
Our support reaches those who need it most — across all ages and all circumstances.
Our primary focus is children facing life-threatening or life-altering conditions — cancer, rare diseases, neurological disorders, and more. We fund treatments that families could not otherwise afford.
For children and adults who need long-term rehabilitation after accidents, strokes, or surgeries, we fund therapy sessions, specialist equipment, and the ongoing care that makes recovery possible.
When illness strikes a family, the financial consequences can be devastating. We support not just the patient but the whole family — helping them stay afloat while they focus on what matters most.
Many of the children we help have conditions so rare that standard healthcare funding is unavailable or insufficient. We step in to bridge the gap between what the state provides and what the child truly needs.
Our mission only succeeds because of people like you. Whether you donate, volunteer, or simply share our fundraisers with your network — every action counts. Every life we save is a testament to what a community united by compassion can achieve.
