For 10 years, we've been turning kilometers into hope. For 10 years, we’ve been pedaling for those who can’t. Now is the time to make history together!

This year, for the 10th edition of #HospiceBikeTour, we’re embarking on a 600 km journey from Chișinău to Cluj-Napoca, with a mission more important than ever: to start building an in-patient palliative care unit—where patients can receive specialized care in a safe and compassionate environment.

YOU can be part of this special edition! Be one of the brave cyclists who take on the challenge of riding from Chișinău to Cluj-Napoca for a noble cause with real impact.

Each participant is invited not only to take on the physical challenge of cycling approximately 600 km over 4 days but also to raise 500 EUR - a contribution that will help our beneficiaries at Hospices of Hope Moldova live their final days with dignity and without pain.

If you'd like to join this charitable event, please fill out the registration form available on the homepage of www.hospicesofhope.md (right-hand side).*Each participant will be carefully selected based on their fitness level and preparedness.

What is your dream for 2025? The dream of the Hospices of Hope Moldova team is to continue being there for our beneficiaries — to provide free palliative care services for children and adults living with incurable illnesses. To offer TIME in the face of illness, for those who need it the most.

In 2025, we’ve also added a bold new dream: to open an in-patient unit, where patients can receive palliative medical care in a hospital setting, with free admission.

This dream is only possible with your support! Take part in Hospices of Hope Moldova's 2025 events. Save the dates and let’s offer TIME together to those who are suffering.

What if we told you that you can be the hero who brings hope? And you can do it so simply—by wearing a Martisor, the #MartisorOfHope!

Year after year, Hospices of Hope brings together tradition and our mission to create a kinder community for those in need of palliative care. As spring approaches, together with our beneficiaries and volunteers, we handcraft the #MartisorsOfHope, symbolizing that just as spring follows winter, hope arises even in the most difficult times.

With a symbolic donation of 40 MDL in exchange for a Martisor, you’re doing a good deed for someone facing an incurable illness, while also honoring beautiful Moldovan traditions.

Be the one who brings change to our community. Be the one who offers hope. Choose to wear the #MartisorOfHope for yourself and your friends!

 

Thanks to your support in 2024 alone, Hospices of Hope Moldova was able to provide over 24,500 home visits, offering free medical, social, and psychological care to 1,420 patients.

The funds raised through the “Martisor of Hope” campaign will significantly contribute to delivering free palliative medical, psychological, and social support to our beneficiaries.
“Through this campaign, we want to continue bringing a ray of light into the lives of those in need. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has joined us in the past, and we encourage all of you to take part in this initiative. Each of us can be a hero by wearing the #MartisorOfHope!” Veronica Dragnev Sacara, Executive Director of Hospices of Hope Moldova

This spring, wear the #MartisorOfHope! To place an order, please contact us at 0792 66 407

10 Martisors, you help us run a group art therapy session.
20 Martisors, you cover the application of a stoma for one beneficiary.
50 Martisors, you ensure a home visit by our interdisciplinary care team for one patient.

On Wednesday, December 18, 2024, in Chişinău, Hospices of Hope Moldova, with the support of VIP Magazin, hosted an exceptional event dedicated to bringing hope and comfort to those battling incurable diseases - Winter Charity Gala.

This memorable evening gathered over 370 guests, including the General Mayor of Chişinău, the British Ambassador, the Romanian Ambassador, other representatives of the Diplomatic Corps, international supporters, and representatives of private companies from the Republic of Moldova. The atmosphere was one of solidarity and generosity, in the name of hope for those more vulnerable than us.
