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.
Maxim is 7 years old. He was born via c-section. He suffered intrauterine hypoxia and needed to be resuscitated. He was on a ventilator for 2 weeks. He was later diagnosed with cerebral palsy which affects all of his limbs.
"For 7 years we have been visiting rehabilitation centers, fighting with the diagnosis, there are positive results. We understand the addressed speech, we try to crawl on our bellies, we bring ourselves to all fours, we sit with support."
Maxim is in need of diapers. We are raising funds to provide him with these for the next three months. Can you help?
