In Ukraine, parents of children with special needs are encouraged to hand their children over to state care. They are told their children are a burden on society. Children are sent to institutions where they are subjected to abuse and neglect. There is minimal support available to parents who fight to keep their children with them. Maya's Hope wants to help relieve some of the burden on these amazing parents and assist in keeping children with their families, where they belong.
"Good day Maya's Hope! I am asking for help for my daughter, Alina, born in May 2019. In a year and a half, Alinka underwent 5 complex surgeries. 2 on the heart, one on the head and one on the eyes.
Her diagnoses are: congenital atrioventricular block 3 degree with a pacemaker, moderate insufficiency of the tricuspid valve, hydrocephalus, glaucoma, cataract, postoperative aphakia, retinal dysplasia of both eyes, cerebral palsy, neurogenic bladder and more.
We really need a seat for bathing, because Alina does not sit or stand alone. She is growing up and it became very difficult to bathe her safely. Therefore, we ask you to help us buy a universal bath seat."
Can you help us purchase a bath chair for little Alina?
Maya’s Hope helps disadvantaged children living in poverty and helps provide hope by instilling value and purpose in each child. We are celebrating 10 years of bringing hope to children around the world.
