Goal

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.


"Good day. I will tell you a short story of my son. Romchyk's life is a daily struggle. At 3 months old he underwent a complicated Kasai operation (a surgical treatment performed on infants with Type IVb choledochal cyst and biliary atresia to allow for bile drainage).  At 11 months he had a similarly complex liver transplant operation abroad. It was a very difficult case, money was collected all over Ukraine.  My boy underwent surgery, but in two weeks we had a new set back - two weeks of coma, cardiac arrest for 10 minutes. After that, our lives changed. My child lost all skills. The verdict of doctors - Romchik will not live. We returned to Ukraine. And a year later the child had a hemorrhage, the temperature rose to forty - and again surgery, and again the struggle for life. There are changes. After transplantation and a coma the son began to breathe, removed a tracheostomy from a neck, began to eat soft food. Doctors removed a gastrostomy tube.

It is urgent to have another operation to close the abdominal wall (suturing the abdominal muscles), which was to be performed a year after the liver transplant, but due to Romchik's condition, it was postponed indefinitely.

But first of all he now needs to gain weight for the operation, which we agreed to do in Ukraine.

Therefore we ask you for the help with special food for my son. For any help I will be grateful."

Can you help us raise the funds needed to provide special formula to Roman so he can gain weight for surgery?
