The Cure Starts Now's Tribute Funds

Veronika Bakerenko's Tribute Fundraiser

Meet Veronika, a beautiful and brave 6-year-old girl. Veronika is a curious, kind, and wonderful little girl who loves discovering the world around her. She enjoys playing, learning new things, and spending time with her family. In August 2026, our family's life changed forever when Veronika was diagnosed with DIPG, a rare and aggressive brain tumor. We are currently in Israel, where Veronika is undergoing radiation therapy. At the same time, we are searching around the world for clinical trials and new treatment options that could give her more time and hope. Despite everything, Veronika is still our little girl, and we want her childhood to be filled with love, happiness, laughter, and beautiful memories. We are fighting for her, and we are not giving up hope.

Thank you for choosing to donate to The Cure Starts Now Foundation. 100% of this donation, after credit card processing fees, goes directly towards research to find the homerun cure for cancer starting with pediatric brain cancer research.

If you would like to make a donation by mail please send a check to:  The Cure Starts Now Foundation; 10280 Chester Road; Cincinnati, OH 45215 and put the child's name in the memo.
