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.
Twin brothers Nikita and David were born prematurely at 6.5 months. Both boys spent over 3 months in intensive care. To fund their hospital stay, their parents sold everything in their home.
Nikita and David were both diagnosed with cerebral palsy.
In 2015, their father left the family, leaving their mother to raise them alone.
Sadly, in 2020, David passed away in his sleep. He is greatly missed by his brother and his mother.
Nikita needs extra calories and nutrition as he struggles to maintain his weight.
Can you help us raise the funds needed to cover the costs of formula for Nikita for the next 3 months?
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.
