It happened when he joined the ranks of the philanthropists, to whom are: Dina Korzun, Chulpan Khamatova, Ksenia Rappoport, Mikhail Porechenkov, Maria Mironova, Xenia Alferova and many others.

And his initiator is ready to talk for hours about the activities of his brainchild. And he plans to expand the scope of work on charity, so there is every reason to assert that the Konstantin Khabensky Foundation is, fortunately, for a long time. Undoubtedly, many will be interested to know how everything started, which served as an impetus for the well-known and highly paid actor to become a benefactor and patron of art.

Personal Tragedy

And this happened after Konstantin Khabensky experienced a personal grief - from his oncology his wife died, which shortly before the development of the disease gave birth to a child.

The actor did his best to help his wifeget out: he defined it in expensive clinics, spending on treatment all his fees. He sold the apartment, climbed into the debt hole and all this in order to save his wife. However, even treatment at the Los Angeles Medical Center did not help fight cancer, and in 2008, Anastasia Khabenskaya passed away ... Today, the actor lives in an ordinary apartment and almost all his earnings are donated to charity.

How did it all start?

Once Kostantin was called from a medicalCenter, specializing in the treatment of people suffering from leukemia. A woman at the other end of the wire begged to help her grief: the son did not have enough money for two hundred thousand rubles. The actor's phone was given to her by doctors. And Khabensky immediately responded to the mountain and brought the missing amount. The boy was operated on time.

After this incident, the actor continued to pursuecharitable activities: from the phone calls, the phone just gets hot. Noteworthy is the fact that Constantine not only gives money for treatment, but also negotiates with doctors to receive patients from the remotest regions of our country. Many can not afford not only an operation in the capital, but also the purchase of tickets in both directions.

If it were not for the help of this sympathetic person who lost his wife, then not all lives would be saved.

Creation of charity structure

In 2008, the actor decides to create the Constantine FoundationKhabensky. Initially, his staff consisted of two people: directly the founder and his assistant. The actor had a hard time: he constantly thought about how to solve the financial issue, went to receptions to officials, knocked on the doctors' offices ... Konstantin Khabensky's foundation at the beginning of his activity provided targeted assistance, and his organizer did not advertise his activities. Only after some time the actor decided to present his project to the general public.

The debut action of Khabensky's brainchild was held inthe capital's Gorky Park on the day of the celebration of the Maslennitsa. The actor called his friends along with the children to go skating in the park. There were more than enough people: Constantine's colleagues came to support him: Ingeborga Dapkunaite, Chulpan Khamatova, Alexei Kravchenko.

And the famous figure skater Irina Slutskaya is happyagreed to teach all comers, including Khabensky, several lessons. In general, all with great pleasure had fun and received a big charge of positive. This holiday was remembered by all guests. The charity event brought her organizer more than 600 thousand rubles.

These funds were transferred to the charitable foundation of Konstantin Khabensky for treatment of patients with oncology.

Who is funding the fund?

Over the years of its existence, the abovethe organization saved the lives of not one dozen children. Most of the investment in the Fund for Assistance Konstantin Khabensky, which is 16 million rubles, was made by the actor himself, as well as his stage colleagues, friends and private companies.

The founder of the charitable organization stressed that in the future the amount of monetary assets will increase, but for this he needs to move to a different level in the work, and he is practically ready for this.

This he once told reporters at a press conference, which was organized in one of Moscow's cinemas.

How is money distributed?

Khabensky Konstantin Yurievich, charitablewhose fund helps children who are sick with oncology, provides material support to some medical institutions that specialize in the diagnosis of cancer and the treatment of ailments of the brain.

Funds for patients are not listed ontheir personal deposit, but addressed directly to the institution where they are provided with medical assistance. In some cases, financial assets are allocated for the treatment of children abroad.

Unfortunately, parents are not always on time to the charitable foundation, so not everyone can help.
