Roman's Light Foundation was created in loving memory of Roman Pecherskii, a brave little boy who entered the world with a chronic health condition that required a kidney transplant at just 14 months old. Against all odds — and despite doctors' uncertain prognosis — Roman survived and received his life-saving kidney in 2010.
That gift allowed him to become exactly who he was meant to be: a super-active, curious, joyful child with endless places to explore, questions to ask, and favorite foods to enjoy. His transplant gave him the chance to travel, to play, and to live a full and vibrant childhood.
Roman passed away in 2022, but his light, strength, and spirit continue to inspire everyone who knew him.
Through this foundation, we honor Roman by bringing that same light, comfort, and hope to other transplant children and their families. They should have all necessary support. We are a team of passionate advocates, on-the-ground staff, and dedicated volunteers.
