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.
"Vadim was born in July 2012, at 40 weeks. Birth weight 4,200; 54 cm. The birth was very difficult. Vadim was practically squeezed out. He himself did not breathe was purple, with no signs of life. Resuscitation, connection to the apparatus; coma, convulsions. Doctors did not give a chance. But with God's help, Vadim survived. Vadim is already 8 years old. And all his eight he is fighting for a fulfilling life. Permanent rehabilitation, treatment, diet. Vadim is a smart boy. He is very diligent. But unfortunately, at our 8 years old, we practically do not hold our heads, we do not sit ourselves, the hands practically do not work, speaks some words, understands the addressed speech, Vadim is weak, eats poorly. But he wants to be like all the kids."
Vadim is in need of high calorie formula to help him gain weight and also diapers.
