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.
"Denis is 5 years old. He was a very expected and desired child for our family! Diagnosis: cerebral palsy, spastic tetraparesis, double hemiplegia. He was born prematurely at 31 weeks. At the age of 1 he was diagnosed. From birth to one year we were treated in the neurological department, after a year we are constantly engaged in rehabilitation. Achieved good results. Today we really need diapers, as we do not receive help from the state. Can you help us?"
