Korelskiy, Ischuk, Astafiev, and Partners, Attorneys at Law, and METRO Cash & Carry Support Life Line Foundation

While implementing the "Law for Children" charity program, Korelskiy, Ischuk, Astafiev, and Partners, Attorneys at Law, and METRO Cash & Carry remitted legal expenses refunded under a regular lawsuit to the Life Line charitable foundation. The funds remitted to the foundation's account were committed for surgeries for two boys six and nine years of age having a congenital heart defect.

Andrey Korelskiy, Managing Partner: "We are happy that our clients and partners support the "Law for Children" program. We honestly believe that kids facing complex surgeries will get all chances for a long and happy life".

"METRO Cash & Carry is actively involved in charity work. Our company has participated in a large number of charity events and provided support to diverse social institutions and charitable foundations. However, we are especially happy that such cost item of any company as legal expenses can be redirected to the honorable field of providing aid to children," noted Elena Gabdulkhaeva, Head of the Legal Department of METRO Cash & Carry. "We are delighted that Korelskiy, Ischuk, Astafiev, and Partners, Attorneys at Law, have proven to be a good partner in the implementation of this honorable initiative and hope that many companies will turn their attention to such method of providing charity support."

Life Line, a charitable foundation for saving critically ill children, has been in existence for more than 7 years. The Life Line foundation saves critically ill children up to 17 years of age whose life is in jeopardy due to serious illnesses and provides "targeted" aid by paying for high-tech surgeries and by acquiring expensive dedicated medical instruments where the use of such instruments guarantees each specific child a significantly improved quality of life, as a minimum, or full recovery, as a maximum.
