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.

We continue to write about successful cases when the efforts of our volunteers achieve their goal. We have known Igor’s mother for a long time and have already donated sensors for the boy several times. Each time, the mother waited her turn for publication and refused to disseminate information about Igor’s needs in the local community.

This was understandable, because Igor’s family are internally displaced persons, currently living outside their hometown. The mother hesitated because there were doubts that the community would join the collection. They are not very well known in the new place, there are no family ties. So there were fears. But on the third attempt, our workers managed to persuade the mother to make the request public. And not in vain!

The community of Zachepyliv region, where Igor now lives with his family, accepted the boy’s needs without hesitation! In a little over a week, the necessary amount was collected. People did not care how long their family had lived in their community, whether they had common acquaintances, relatives, etc. Once again, the Ukrainian community demonstrates that it is capable of humanity, a friendly attitude and understanding. Even during the war, when every family has its own problems and every penny cannot be superfluous, people find an opportunity to help those in need.
We express our great gratitude to the local publication Zhyttya Zachepylivshchyna. Thanks to the participation of this local news resource, we managed to spread Igor's request among the residents of the community. So, the money was collected quickly, and Igor already has sensors for six months of use. We believe that with the help of sensors, the boy's life will be better, and the consequences of diabetes will not be able to destroy his health.

Let's not forget about other children who need help.
We are currently collecting for sensors for 18-year-old Oli from Rivne. The girl has been living on insulin since she was 9 years old. Sensors are a luxury for her that her family cannot afford.

Good morning everyone! The frosts are not letting up. It is becoming more and more difficult to work. Yesterday we couldn’t even do anything – there was no light in our office. The temperature in the room is +2. But we are holding on and doing what we can.

Thanks to some caring people from Google Corporation who saw the request on the Internet, our children received unexpected help. Myroslava from Chernihiv and Maksymko from Poltava region received continuous monitoring sensors. No help is superfluous, because each sensor is 2-3 weeks of safe life for a child with DIA. The parcels arrived quickly and the children are happy.

Yes, today in the country there is a situation when almost everyone needs help. And finding funds for charity in our country is becoming more and more difficult. Therefore, we are infinitely grateful to all people who have the desire and the opportunity to support our children from outside Ukraine.

Of course, everywhere has its own problems. People who have left the country, either by force or by their own will, have a different life and different needs. But it is so touching when, amidst the personal needs of life far from their homeland, a person finds the strength not to ignore requests for help from their fellow countrymen. Just today we talked to a girl who has an interesting and eventful life overseas. But given the state of affairs in modern Ukraine, she has a desire to help and volunteer to be of some use to the suffering homeland. This is truly impressive. We appreciate and respect such people.

Three-year-old Mariyka from Kharkiv has not yet received her New Year's gifts. 5,450 hryvnias remain to be collected. https://ucccf-help.org.ua/ua/podderzhivaemye-missiej-deti/smitanina-mariya-3-goda-g-kharkov/
Let's help!

16/01/2026

Good day everyone! Well, it's freezing here. Let's move our thoughts to warmer places in Ukraine - namely, to the Odessa region, the village of Kalaglia. This is where the charming eight-year-old girl Eva lives. It's been a year since doctors diagnosed Eva with insulin-dependent diabetes. It's sad, of course, but life goes on. The girl dances and loves to draw. She says that when she grows up, she will become a doctor and treat dogs. This is such a noble childhood dream. And it's very important that it comes true.

Recently, Eva received a parcel from us with sensors, which she had been waiting for since May of last year. Unfortunately, the collection for Eva was difficult. Since the beginning of the collection, several thousand were collected in a month. And from mid-June to the beginning of December, only 450 hryvnias were collected. And who knows when the request would have been closed if it weren't for the help of a person from the village where Eva lives with her parents. The village head, Kateryna Mykolayivna Kucherenko, personally took part in spreading information about Eva's needs. And then the matter went well. With the help of this sensitive person, we managed to collect most of the amount within a month. Here's how participation works

Finally, Eva with the long-awaited sensors! Let's express our sincere gratitude to Kateryna Mykhailivna and the entire Ovidiopol village council for their help in implementing this request! Working together, we achieve the goal and make children's dreams come true.

Despite the frost and lack of heating in our homes, today we feel warm in our hearts.
Because we are publishing a post about our favorite community – the Novorozdil community of the Lviv region. Why favorite? Because our irreplaceable mother Polina lives in this community, the SVOYM project began in this community, and four of the children we care for live here.

With the support of the Head of the community, Yatsenko Yaryna, and Ihor Bronevych, who helps with information support, we launched a very interesting and necessary project, first in Novy Rozdil, and then transferred the experience to other cities and towns in Ukraine. And this community is once again successfully raising money to provide children with such important medical devices. This is a true example of humanity, mutual aid and a desire to help. The Novorozdil community has already closed requests from parents for the 7th time in six months.

This time, these were requests for Sherstyuk Nazar and Korpan Emilia.
Nazar collected 45 thousand only through the dobro.ua website, and then the business of Novy Rozdil joined in a little, which added more than 10 thousand to the 45. We express our gratitude to everyone who took part in the collection and note the Zakhid-Solod enterprise, which provided Nazar with a month of continuous monitoring sensors. So Nazar started his 2026 not bad, in our opinion. He will now have sensors almost all year long.
Emilia collected 30 thousand. But this is the third time. A clear confirmation that community collections can work not only once.

Looking at the progress of community collections under the SVOYM project, we decided to add a little interest to the parents who participate. From now on, we will publish their requests for the amount of about 40 thousand hryvnias, which is 10 thousand more than before. More help means more sensors for a child at a time. We are sure that it will work.
We believe in the best!

Friends, have a good start to the week everyone!
Today it's minus 14 in the morning. It's winter. We work in an office without heating in winter clothes. It's good that at least we can take off our hats. We are warmed by the thirst for new projects and the interesting work that awaits us ahead.

But let's talk about the main thing. We are currently developing an information project to support our meetings in communities. And from this perspective, we see the point in targeted SMS mailings to the community living in the community. We are sure that it will give results. But we need to prepare well, because this is both interesting and very useful.
None of us have any experience in such work. But we are not alone! There is a community that can help.

In short, we are looking for advisory help from a person who knows SMS marketing, understands how to create and use VIBER or TELEGRAM bots, how to integrate this toolkit into our information work, and so on.

We hope that we will find a person who will help us create an effective mechanism that will work for children for years. Because only under the SVOYM project we have involved only 70 communities today, out of 1400 in Ukraine. Therefore, the volunteer help of such a person will be invaluable to our cause!
If you have something to help – write to us on Viber or Telegram 067 487 71 22.
We become stronger only together!

Happy New Year, friends!
We believe that this year will be better than the last! And we are working for it.
In the meantime, we will please you with news about our initiatives that we launched last year. Namely, about providing children with insulin pumps. The project started successfully, two pumps have already been transferred, one is still going to the new owner. We have a long queue for pumps, we have plans to significantly reduce it this year.

Thus, at the end of December, the second child from our community received a pump. Mirra is from a large family living in the Kirovohrad region. The girl recently turned seven. Mirroslava is a girl with character. Persistent, sociable and creative, she knows how to defend her opinion and protect what she loves. And she loves many things: walking with friends, playing with animals and feeding them, classes at a music school, choreography circles, beadwork and technical modeling.
We are happy for the girl and believe in her future.

Thank you to all donors and our friends from DOBRO.UA for helping us implement the project!
Let's not forget about other children who need help
Today, 3-year-old Mariyka from Kharkiv needs your help. Let's help!

Friends, here we are, approaching the end of 2025.
Of course, there are hardly any people in Ukraine for whom this year was easy. The conditions in which we live now do not contribute to manifestations of unbridled optimism, to put it mildly. But you should not see everything only in a bad sense. There was good news, and interesting meetings, and new acquaintances and new ideas. So, let the past year go by, and we take only good feelings with us in 2026.

Firstly, our community has noticeably grown in size! We have made a big step in forming a Facebook community over the past year. More than 600 new readers have joined the group and now there are 1226 of us. We started an Instagram page and in a few months we have collected 190 subscribers. As of today, we have 266 people who receive regular assistance for their children and are in constant communication in our Viber community.

Of course, for some, these achievements seem very small. But we are only at the beginning of our movement. We see that our posts are being read, community members are active, and in general, we feel needed. As for a start, this really impresses us.
Now about the material assistance that we provide to parents of sick children. In general, we provided targeted assistance for all diseases about 280 times last year. Considering that the cost of 1 parcel is 25-30 thousand hryvnias, the total amount exceeded 7.5 million hryvnias. We mainly transferred continuous monitoring sensors, medicines, consumables for pumps, and also started working with insulin pumps. So far, we are talking about 3 pumps, for which funds were raised at the end of 2025. The queue for receiving pumps is large, and we plan to pay more attention to this area next year.

And one of our achievements in 2025 is the launch and successful testing of the SVOYM project. The project promises to be the most significant contribution to the sustainability and development of the organization in the coming years. Based on the SVOYM project, we are forming a qualitatively new community of parents who do not just expect help from us, but take a direct part in receiving it. These people will become the main actors of the movement in the coming years, in cooperation with them we see development and prospects. New ideas, new projects and additional opportunities for our children are being born around SVOYM.

And most importantly, as a summary. Over the past year, new people have joined our organization! Three wonderful women who, with their tireless work, help parents from our community to obtain help for their children. Polina from Lviv region, Oksana from Kirovohrad region, Yulia from Odessa. These women were found among the same parents, have experience in treating their children and are able to apply their knowledge for the public good. We respect them!
You are our main asset over the past year! We believe that with you the achievements of our community will reach a new level. So, our organization now has nine people who are constantly or partially engaged in the implementation of work processes. We are sure that this is not the final number. Because behind every assistance provided, there is a certain work that someone needs to do. This work is not always visible, but without it there would be nothing. Thank you for your dedication to the joint movement, it is nice to be with you in the same team! We have great things ahead.

We wish our entire community to meet the New Year 2026 in a good mood, full of optimism and faith that everything will be fine with us. Well, what else can I do? You deserve it.

30/12/2025

A little more New Year's mood from us!
We continue to inform the community about the opening of the New Year's gift season for our children.

Of course, gifts are not only received by the children we publish in posts - there are much more of them. But we select the most interesting photos. Today it's Eva from Sumy region, Daniil from Rivne region and Kirill from Odessa. Happy children - we are happy too! What else do you need to get a charge of good mood for the New Year.

The mothers of these children wrote us a few nice words. We were very pleased. If we understand each other and move towards the goal together - everything will be fine with us!

Daniil's mother:
"Good evening! Here we received sensors for Danik and we want to thank you for your work. This is a great gift for Christmas!"

Kirill's mother:
"We sincerely thank the charity fund for the assistance provided and full support in the purchase and transfer of sensors for monitoring blood glucose levels. Your support is extremely important for our family and is of great importance for the health and stable control of the child's condition. Thank you for your professionalism, responsibility and good deeds! ”

Eva's mother:
“Dear team of the foundation!
We sincerely thank you for your incredible support and help. For our family, these sensor sets are not just medical devices, but a real opportunity to live more peacefully, constantly take care of our child's health and have confidence in the future.
Your kindness, sensitivity and care give us the feeling that we are not alone in our struggle. Thanks to you, our daughter can celebrate the holidays with a smile and feel protected.
We sincerely thank everyone who joins your important cause. May your kindness return to you a hundredfold. We wish you inspiration, strength and warmth in all good undertakings! ”

Mariyka from Kharkov is still waiting for our attention - we will not leave this charming girl without a gift!
Everyone has the opportunity to end the year with the feeling that we live on this earth for a reason.

Patience, Friends, Patience…
We still have a little bit left to stay in this year. For most of us, it was difficult, so let it go. We take all our hopes and hopes with us into the new 2026.
With Faith and confidence that everything will be fine with us. And how could it be otherwise!

And while our beloved children receive their gifts, we urge everyone to hold their breath and watch how quickly your requests will begin to close in the coming days.

But we all keep in mind that we do not have our own warehouse where the sensors are waiting for you. We still have to pay for them and wait for the supplier to deliver them to us. Usually it is 5-7 days. But now the post office is overloaded, so we are gaining patience. Everything that we manage to pay for and receive – we will send to you in December. What we do not have time to send in early January. We assure you that no one will be left without gifts.

So, we are looking forward to amazing Holidays!

Friends, the year is coming to an end and we are beginning to review the work we have done over the year. And undoubtedly the most interesting acquisition of the fund in 2025 is the launch and gradual establishment of the SVOYM project. Yes, thanks to the efforts of all our colleagues and the most significant contribution to this project by Polina Korpan, we can say that this initiative of the fund fully justifies itself. The SVOYM project allows us not only to implement the requests of parents, but also to shape the prospects for the development of the fund for the coming years.

As of today, 70 communities have participated in the project, some of them more than once. If we take into account that there are more than 1,400 communities in Ukraine, we can imagine the amount of work that we still need to do. This is work for the coming years.

Now let's see what share of our daily work is taken up by the SVOYM project. More than half of all closed requests. Taking into account the data for the past 2024, we increased the total amount of assistance from the fund more than 2 times. That is, the volume for the SVOYM project was added to our usual volumes. And this is 7 months after the start of the project!
And how did we manage to do this? Because requests for community assistance are closed much faster, often in 1-2 days. We calculated the latest data on the duration of the meetings.
- 35% of requests are closed in 1-2 days
- 22% of requests are closed in a week
- 20% of requests are closed in 2 weeks.

Unfortunately, the remaining 23% are not collected as quickly as the others. The problem with requests from parents from large regional cities - Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, Vinnytsia, Odesa - has not yet been solved. We have not yet managed to involve the community in participating in meetings in such cities using standard means. It turned out that this is a more difficult task. But we are moving towards a solution here too. Something is already starting to emerge.

Of course, we accept requests from parents who agree to distribute in the community, out of turn. If parents are ready not only to wait for help, but also to cooperate with us in information - we are always happy about such a decision. Such cooperation has both development prospects and a significant result.

For this, not much is required from parents.
1. Agree to distribute information among residents of their local community
2. Parents publish the request on their pages in social networks.
3. Provide the highest quality information about the child - photo, text. If the child does not mind, then shoot a short video-business card.
In our opinion, this is not so much to receive assistance of 25-30 thousand hryvnias.
Therefore, we urge everyone not to neglect and join the movement that leads the project SVOYM.

P.S. And during this time, several more children received medical equipment. Let's celebrate for them together!

Another week is coming to an end. It seems that the main work is finished, and on the eve of the weekend, there is a desire to write a post about volunteering, or rather, about the motivation to do it.
One interesting correspondence in Reddit caught my eye. A young man from the USA is concerned about whether he should volunteer. Digging into himself, he discovered traits in himself that (in his opinion) are not compatible with acts of voluntary help. Here is his letter:
"Hello everyone, I am 24 years old. I haven't volunteered once after graduating from high school. The last few years I feel like I'm going crazy. My family lives in a nice suburb of a large American city, we belong to the middle or upper middle class of wealth. But compared to the news that I read every day, my town seems like an oasis of well-being, and this detachment from everything that is happening, frankly, drives me crazy. It seems wrong to me to spend time on video games and the upcoming football season when I read about terrible things happening to people around me. I really think that I live very egocentrically. But I have traits that do not contribute to being a good volunteer: allergies, a rigid system of conviction and impatience. It makes me think: DO I WANT TO HELP PEOPLE OR DO I WANT TO DEAL WITH THE GUILT?

And here are the most interesting answers:
"- This is a good reason! We were born for something more than just sitting and playing games or making money. In addition, when a person feels guilty, it is actually a sign that something is alive and working in him. In fact, people who consider themselves "well-adjusted in life" are the most deeply ill. Most people will live their whole lives without understanding why they feel sick.
In Africa they say "Ubuntu" - How can I be happy if you are unhappy? People who are attentive to themselves understand that a healthy human mind cannot be surrounded by human suffering and at the same time have a good time. Therefore, the desire to help is not just "good", it is a profoundly reasonable decision"

"Of course, you should volunteer! You will learn, develop, meet new people, do good and help others. Do not worry about the purity of your motives. Better to focus on the good things you can do. And the last tip: every volunteer position is unique, so be open to new options until you find the right one for you. Good luck!"

"The best thing is to determine what you like to do, what is really important to you or what you are good at, and find an organization where you can volunteer. And avoid any job whose duties you do not like or which, as you think, do not match your abilities. For example, I have very bad handwriting. Therefore, I would avoid work where I would have to constantly write by hand."

"People volunteer for many reasons. This includes meeting new people, passion for work, establishing relationships, gaining work experience, a sense of purpose, altruism, etc. I am an active volunteer and have met people who fall into all these categories, and they are not ashamed of it, and they shouldn't be. Don't worry about volunteering "for the right reasons." As long as you don't cause any harm, it's all right"

I hope you enjoyed this post. Sometimes it is useful to learn how people from another continent, with a different way of life and different conditions, think about ordinary life issues.
Have a good weekend everyone!

Again, four brave boys are on the front pages of our feed!
On the eve of the holidays, they were sent sensors for continuous monitoring. With these devices, life is much better, everyone already understands that.

Based on how many demands and petitions regarding the provision of monitoring for children with DIA are spreading on the Internet, there is hope that this problem will be solved. And while it exists, we are trying to somehow fix it. Unfortunately, our capabilities today are much less than the real demand from parents. The waiting list has already exceeded 4 months. Therefore, we do not tire of calling on parents - let's cooperate in spreading your request. We offer it to everyone. And the result is felt immediately. Just yesterday, the collection for the boy, who was supported by the local community, closed. In two days, 28,200 UAH was collected.

Thank you to our friends from DOBRO.UA for helping to implement the requests from the boys' parents.

Let's not forget about other children who need help.
Teona, 9 years old, Vinnytsia region. She has been waiting for sensors for a very long time. Above all, Teona does not want to be different from her peers.
