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.
Unfortunately family preservation is not always possible. Baby A was born just a few days ago. His mother is addicted to drugs and lives a dangerous lifestyle. She decided she could not provide her son with the safe life he deserves and she has left the hospital. The hospital and social workers do not believe she will come back.
For now, Baby A is safe and is being cared for in the hospital. But he is a sick little boy and he needs medicines, pediatric IV cannulas and other consumables. Can you help Baby A?
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.
