We decided to support the project and monitor the fate of children - citizens of Bashkortostan, which have already received assistance from the singer. We learned that the necessary medicines and equipment had been already purchased from the funds raised, and there was progress in treatment", said the director of TV and Radio Company Bashkortostan Azamat Salikhov.
