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.
"I am writing to you about my daughter Kira, she recently had a severe epileptic seizure at night. There was a lot of saliva, the upper lip was shaking. It's very scary that I couldn't help her. We went to the doctor, he recommends a night video monitoring EEG to determine which seizures and which drugs should be added or increased. I sincerely hope for help, because I am not able to pay for the EEG on my own."
Can you help us raise the funds needed for Kira's EEG?
