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.
Valeria and her twin brother, Denis, were born at just 28 weeks. As a result of their premature birth they both have a diagnosis of cerebral palsy. Their mother is raising them alone.
They recently found out that Valeria's hearing is extremely poor. She is in need of hearing aids but unfortunately her mother cannot afford them.
Can you help purchase hearing aids for Valeria?
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.
