Hope and Belief Fund

Hope and Belief Fund The Hope and Believe Charity Foundation was established in Ukraine by individuals and registered on October 13, 2005.

The Hope and Belief Charity Foundation was established in Ukraine by individuals and registered on October 13, 2005. The members of the foundation are people, most of whom have themselves gone through the difficult path of treating their children for cancer or are volunteers. The Foundation is a member of the Ukrainian Open Association of Volunteers "Live Tomorrow" and a member of the European Association of Cancer Patients ECPC. Today the foundation provides assistance under the programs “Epilepsy is not a death sentence!”, “Pediatric ophthalmology and eye microsurgery”, “Children and cancer”, “Primary immunodeficiencies”, “Diabetes in children”

The main goal of our mission is to provide targeted medical assistance in treatment, payment of medical bills, and equipping patients with medical equipment and consumables. More than 1,200 families received medication assistance to treat their children over the 19 years of the project. More than 40 thousand donors provided their donations to Ukrainian children one-time or regularly.

Congratulations to everyone on the first WINTER day!

We have another fundraiser that lasted only 1 day. And Lviv region stood out again. Sofiyka from the city of Pustomyty receives gifts from her community. 70 donors took part in the fundraiser. The girl will celebrate the New Year with continuous monitoring. The sensors provided will last her for 5 months of use.

By the way, this is not the first time that the Pustomyty community has helped Sofiyka. This year, her mother turned to the local authorities for help. Sofiyka's story touched the responsible persons with its frankness. Then there was a difficult two-month journey of approving charitable assistance, but finally the ATC Council allocated money to purchase an insulin pump for the girl. Sofiyka became the owner of a brand new pump, which significantly simplified the child's life and improved the compensation for her illness. That is, everything is possible, the parents just need to take action.

Let's enter winter with a good mood! An amazing time is coming.

For the sake of a full-fledged childhood. The title of this post repeats the title of the project on dobro.ua, thanks to which it was possible to help a charming girl from Kharkiv. Little Nicole is only two and a half years old, but in this short time she has already gone through unspeakable trials. A year ago, the girl was in intensive care in a coma. For four days, doctors fought for her life. It was then that her parents first heard their daughter's diagnosis - type 1 diabetes.

Nicole's father is a military man, so he is often away from home, fulfilling his duty to the country. Mom takes care of her daughter alone, and her older son helps her - a fourteen-year-old brother, who loves his sister very much and is always there when mom needs to be reassured or simply supported.

The fundraising for Nicole lasted 9 days. The collection speed was provided by Nicole's parents themselves, who agreed to the dissemination of information about their request. Of course, the volunteers of the fund began to distribute the collection in groups in Kharkiv. But the main thing is that the parents posted on their social networks. Friends, acquaintances, acquaintances of acquaintances, and so on responded to the request.
Many of us still shy away from spreading information about the child's needs among acquaintances. When will we understand that there is nothing to be ashamed of? We will not tire of repeating - PEOPLE AROUND YOU WANT TO BE USEFUL TO SOMEONE. This is the same need of the soul as peace, as the desire to be happy. There is nothing wrong if you give people the opportunity to do something for their neighbor.

Let's not forget about other children who need help

Everything a person needs is nearby.

Friends, as we wrote earlier, the foundation is preparing a new fundraising project aimed at involving businesses in fundraising. We would like to inform you that the development has been completed and the first test use will start today. One of the communities in the Lviv region, where we have already held collections many times, has been selected for the test. And always successfully. We hope that our idea will work now.

Starting next week, the heads of enterprises in the Novo-Rozdielska community will receive a letter asking them to support the collection for Nazar, who has been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes since March of this year. If everything goes well, then starting next year we will launch a large-scale campaign in other communities.

This step should add additional benefits to parents participating in the foundation’s “SVOYM vid hromada” program.
So, with hope in our hearts, we are following the results and will definitely inform you about the progress of the process.

The weather outside is gloomy, and the soul needs something positive. I decided to remember in one post everyone who received gifts from the fund last week. Photo reports have already arrived. So, let's get started!

Nikita, Vladyk, Glib, Kyrylo, Anya, Sofia, Eva, Nastya. Eight children - eight parcels - eight happy faces. And now inside it becomes pleasant, bright, and inspiring. That's what we work for.

We are pleased to note that we have already reached another conditional mark - every day one child receives something from "I Hope and Believe". In general, everyone has received sensors. And Sofia residents - a pump and consumables for it. Not bad for Monday! We are setting ourselves up for a good week.

The last few weeks have been filled with events around diabetes. Everyone has stirred up, they are writing something, reposting, calling for something. It is nice to see that the movement is alive, active and capable of making changes around us!

We thank the employees of the Stepova Zorya newspaper and the Petropavlivka.Citi portal for the informational assistance to Koshmakova Nastya.

We are moving forward with a positive attitude into the final autumn week, which promises to be interesting for our organization with new working meetings and acquaintances.

We remember that there are still children waiting for their gifts. 5-year-old Mariyka from Ternopil also wants to make life easier for herself and her mother. We are collecting for sensors for her.

The school fundraiser is supported by the Illinets Lyceum!

Just recently, we talked about an example of a school from the Cherkasy region getting involved in helping, when a new report from another extraordinary community arrived.

In the city of Illinets, Vinnytsia region, there lives a charming Victoria, who was helped by teachers from Lyceum No. 3.
The student government showed creativity and the children filmed a video about Vika, distributed it among the residents of the community, and our fundraiser was completed. And separately from the general fundraiser, the children collected another 4.5 thousand hryvnias in a box to help the girl.

So, who else will say that our children are not the best? Adults just need to give them the opportunity to show themselves in the space of goodness and mercy. We will do everything we can to promote the development of this movement in schools. If you don’t know what charity event can be held in your school, we will tell you and help.

Happy Monday everyone, friends!
The day has just begun, but it is already a good one for us. Our first “swallow” to receive a pump has successfully completed the collection!

That is, in some time the pump will go to Sofiyka in the Cherkasy region. We are excitedly following the process, which we have been working on for a month and a half. We hope that the mother, under the supervision of our colleague, will quickly figure out how to work with the device. If the pump becomes the girl’s constant friend, we will spread the practice of providing pumps. We already have about 20 requests for pumps, which we want to implement next year. We are adding consumables for several months to the pump that will go to Sofiyka.

The collection for the pump was successful, fast and had interesting additional bonuses. The first is that colleagues from Sofiyka’s grandmother joined the collection. 3,570 hryvnias were received from the Novodmytrivsk ZDO “Kolosochok” in support of Sofiyka. Thank you!

Meanwhile, people approached Sofiyka’s mother during the gathering and directly gave her money. The girl’s mother used it to buy consumables for another 2 months of using the pump.
So, the beginning of our business with pumps was good. We will follow the continuation…

Let's not forget about other children who need help.
Timofey from Uzhhorod is also waiting for sensors. The boy's parents are IDPs and it's really hard for them. Let's help!

Friends, today we want to raise a very important topic for us.
Recently, we have significantly increased the pace of our work. Accordingly, the number of children with diabetes who apply for assistance is also increasing. We are conducting information work on attracting new parents to cooperation - and this is yielding results. We are also approached by many parents who learned about us from friends, acquaintances or simply on social networks.

Therefore, there have been cases when people contact us without understanding who and why we work. Parents refuse to attend meetings because it will become known in their communities that their family is raising funds for the treatment of a child. And we understand why this is happening.

It is one thing when not everyone in the family agrees to publicize the request to neighbors. And first of all, children do not agree to this, especially if they are already teenagers. Therefore, please note that the decision to cooperate with our fund must ALWAYS be made with the participation of all family members. If there is resistance from your child or spouse, then no fruitful cooperation will work. It is better to give time to more carefully consider all the pros and cons, read more about our work, about its results. Perhaps over time the opinion of the child or family members will change.

Second and most importantly! We work with those and for those who REALLY NEED help. What is meant by this. If your family is financially capable and is able to independently buy sensors and other medical equipment for your child - then we are not for you. Period. We are definitely not the organization that helps everyone without exception. Our help is aimed at those who really need it. Do not waste your and our time if you can solve your problem yourself. Because the moment will come when your neighbors, relatives or work colleagues find out about the collection. And you will be very unpleasant if your request for help does not coincide with the financial reality of your life.

It is unpleasant to write about this, but very quickly it turns out that the person who asked for help does not really need help. And first of all, this will be due to the unwillingness to "light up" in the eyes of your community.

We receive an average of 10 requests per week, and we can "close" seven. The queue for assistance is inevitably growing. Therefore, we ask you to think carefully before making a decision about the desire to receive assistance.

And here is the VERY cool news!
WITH FAITH IN A SAFE FUTURE – that was the name of the collection for Sofiyka from Vinnytsia region.
And this name fully corresponds to the content of what this collection showed us all.

The school where Sofiyka studies joined in helping the girl. Inspired by the idea of helping, teachers, children and parents of the children organized a charity fair, the funds from which were sent to Sofiyka.

In addition, students of Tulchyn VPU, where Sofiyka’s older sister studies, saw the information on the Internet and also expressed a desire to make their contribution.

We are infinitely grateful to everyone who took part in this important initiative! And not only the funds collected matter. Thanks to the event, the community showed that they care about every child. That the problem that spoils the life of an individual child is their common problem, which can and must be solved.
Without sadness, with interest, with smiles – this is how people decided the request of one mother, who was not afraid to tell the community about her pain. This is exactly how it should happen, so that every child knows – she is not alone and there is both goodness and mercy around her.

A vivid example for all who do not believe that the environment is not indifferent. Because the desire to help exists in every person. And when it can be done for someone whom you can hear and see in person – it is simply a need of the soul.

Today is our men's day, probably. Four boys are included in the report on the transfer of aid. Let's thank the people thanks to whom this was possible.
It will take very little time, and these young people will be able to solve the problems in their lives on their own. And it is desirable that over time they themselves will become able to help someone. As they are helping them now. Grow up, boys, grow up. With faith in the good that always exists around us.

Congratulations, friends!

We are entering a new week with a good mood. In a few days, the whole world will pay attention to people living with diabetes. Everyone who is related to this is trying to add positive news to their feed. And we are no exception. We are also contributing our small “little bit” to this optimistic movement.

Since our organization works for patients, our news is for them. We have decided to introduce a new mechanism for raising funds to support children. This mechanism will be used for community collections that we carry out as part of the SVOYM project. Now, along with distributing information about the collection on the Internet, we are connecting a new communication channel and a new audience – the local business community. We know how to do this in practice – for the first ten years of its existence, “I Hope and Believe” raised funds and new donors mainly through this fundraising mechanism. And the funds were not small.

Therefore, we decided to resume this work in the interests of the community of parents of children with diabetes. And more specifically - for those parents who agreed to participate in the SVOYM project and agree to disseminate information about the needs of the child in their territorial community. From now on, we will use our own forces to connect local businesses to help.

Hopes for this initiative are high. There is something more than a one-time donation from a business. If relationships with a donor are built correctly, this is a chance for a long and fruitful relationship in the future. We are starting to develop this project now - we are preparing, adjusting, testing. We hope that starting in the new year it will work as a permanent model.

So, as always, we end with an appeal to parents. Do not neglect the opportunity to join our community and take part in the SVOYM project. Starting in the new year, the opportunities and benefits of the project will increase significantly!

We didn’t have time to set up the collection and start distributing it – and the money had already been collected!
Mariyka, who was forced to move with her mother to Rivne from Severodonetsk, received her gifts!

When the girl’s life in Rivne began to gradually improve – school, aerobics training, new friends – Mariyka suddenly felt unwell. Doctors diagnosed her with type 1 diabetes. Mariyka and her mother live in constant fear for her condition. The girl has been sick for a year, and the disease has already started to cause complications. The family cannot buy everything they need on their own – it is very difficult financially. In general, Mariyka dreams of returning home and holding a warm fluffy cat in her arms again.

Thanks to just one donation, we managed to purchase sensors for the girl. Unfortunately, we don’t know this person (or maybe it’s a whole team), but we are sincerely grateful for the regular help provided to our children. Thank you for not staying away. Your help strengthens hope in our community.

Let's not forget about other children who need help.

Another example of personal cooperation between the foundation and parents. Mykyta from Odessa waited for his collection for 2 days. During this time, 48 donors contributed their help for sensors for the child.
We did not wait for help from the city council and spread the information about the collection on our own. In addition, Mykyta's parents posted the collection on their social networks. As a result, the child received the sensors quickly and without a long wait. After all, we already have a person in our team who is directly involved in "layering" your requests on the network. We wish her success in this difficult work. After all, a person works for you and your children.
We will be grateful to everyone who joined the collection.

Let's not forget about other children who need help.
12-year-old Anna from Vinnytsia is waiting for sensors.
"Almost all of these procedures are performed in private hospitals. Accordingly, a lot of money was spent on this. To say that it was difficult is to say nothing! We started to get acquainted with other children with the same diagnosis - and they told us about the advantages of using sensors. After all, they are a means of 24-hour monitoring of our child's life!", - says Anna's mother.
