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.
"Sofiyka was born prematurely, weighing 1200 g, length 35 cm. Immediately diagnosed with hydrocephalus in the stage of subcompensation due to CNS damage, early neonatal sepsis, anemia, retinopathy, dysplastic nephropathy. In six months, brain shunting was performed.
Sofiyka is now 9 and does not sit, stand, walk (only with support), does not speak, does not control the functions of the bladder or bowel.
In this regard, we have increased the need for diapers to 4-5 per day. We will be very grateful if there is an opportunity to help us with diapers."
Can you help us purchase diapers for Sofia for the next three months?
