Charity Mission 2025
Dan, Jane and Ilya
Our organization visited Ilya on January 17, 2025. We met in the rehabilitation center “Vse Sam” (All by myself).
With the help of our donors we were able to collect 100 000 rubles ( about $1000 at the time of exchange ) that went towards finishing remodel of the building. The facility started fully operating in February 2025.

Irina’s post on social media about our mission:
” Friday story of kindness and power of community support. Ilya Shkolnikov is the dad who built a special rehabilitation facility for special children as he is the father of one. He built it all with his bare hands, but not without the help of kind people.
Evgenia, born in Kazan, has lived abroad for 20 years. There she created a Russian Cultural Association, that teaches Russian language, literature and assists everyone who needs her help.
My personal pleasure is to have an opportunity to unite such people and now Ilya can enroll even more children who need these services “
5 years of being a dad…
Ilya Shkolnikov is the founder and the main builder of the project “All by myself “, special center for children with limited mobility, cerebral palsy and birth trauma.
It took 5 long years to bring his dream of having such center in Kazan to reality. From a completely demolished space he turned it into a functioning daycare, which helps many children overcome their difficulties and adapt to a more independent life with the help of specialists working in the center. Ilya says that his son was the biggest inspiration for him to keep working on this project.
That’s how it started
Completely demolished space required full renovation
Construction
It took many loads to clear out the space for the future rehabilitation facility

Rehabilitation center today…
Rehabilitation facility started full time operation in February 2025. Ilya and his team find the best specialists in this field and invite them for healing sessions for their patients.
From the moment the facility first opened in a much smaller location to this day they have helped over 300 families adapt to the challenges that they were facing as new parents of the special children.
