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.

Thanks to additional funds, Vanya from Kryvyi Rih was helped. A few sensors - and a joyful smile on the boy's eyes. It's not much, but it's another two months with constant monitoring. Considering the situation of Vanya's family - it's at least something.

Only the mother works in the family. The boy's father has a group 1 disability - he had two lower limbs amputated due to illness. It's very difficult for the parents to cope with all the financial expenses for constant treatment and the purchase of medicines and consumables for the pump to keep Ivan's health normal.

Vanya fell ill with a severe form of insulin-dependent diabetes in the fifth year of his life. He is now thirteen, and these years have taught the boy to be responsible. For the ninth year, Ivan has been undergoing examinations in hospitals, taking endless tests and taking a lot of medication for the normal development of the body. His mother taught him to measure blood glucose on his own.

And a year and a half ago, happiness happened: Ivan received an insulin pump, which makes the life of a person with diabetes much easier, but consumables are constantly needed for its work.

We do not forget about other children who need help

Friends, good day to all!

We wondered how much awareness our people have about the opportunities that the use of continuous monitoring sensors provides to diabetics.
It turned out that there are a large number of parents who have never used these devices and not all of them even know about the benefits of their use for children. The reasons for this are different - and the reluctance to understand this issue, because there is still no money for sensors. And the general passivity of some parents who are used to old methods of measuring sugar. And the misunderstanding that it is not difficult at all.
Understanding how and where people learn about sensors, we came to the conclusion that the most traditional way is personal consultation with a person who already uses the devices.
Yes, there are groups and communities where people receive all the necessary knowledge, but personal contact still remains the most effective.
Therefore, we decided to help beginners simplify the path to the reasonable use of sensors. We suggest contacting our volunteers in person, who will be able to advise and provide INITIAL knowledge to those who need it. It is clear to everyone that taking the first steps under personal supervision is much easier. After the first attempts at use, a person can further expand their knowledge in special groups.
Special thanks to Oksana and Natalia for their desire to help beginners and share knowledge and skills!
So the question of consulting with LIBRE 2 and SIBIONICS is closed.
But it remains to find a volunteer who can advise on LINX sensors. Therefore, we invite those who wish to join our movement as a volunteer. Find your interest in the circle of like-minded people and join!

Masha from Kharkiv. We are handing over the sensors for the third time. Why is that? Because the mother and child are working on their appeal. Beautiful photos, a small expressive text and most importantly - the opportunity to see the child, which is provided by the VIDEO.

Short, just to give an idea of who is behind the request. To understand who needs help. People want to help people, not appeals and covers.

Every mother can do this, we are sure. There are several main rules:
- You should not shoot a biographical story about life - it is not yet that historical.
- You should not retell the history of the child's illness - this is not interesting to anyone.
- You should not emphasize suffering - this is horrifying and frightening.
- Do not prompt the child with answers so that they can be heard among the child's words - it looks like a decree, and you do not need such a reaction.

So WHAT THEN DO YOU NEED??? Your main task, as a mother, is to prepare the child for the filming process, as for something interesting. This is a strange experiment, a bright event in the child’s everyday life. Is it really every day that you get a chance to become a “movie star”? Yes, you need to prepare – but it’s a process, it’s interesting!

1. Your video is your first acquaintance with a donor who wants to help. Sincerity, a smile, a desire to communicate – that’s what interests you first of all. Everything is like in life.
2. Prepare your child for filming. If the child is not in the mood – postpone it.
3. Don’t be afraid that it won’t work out like Fellini. You don’t need to. All the mistakes in words, stuttering, confusion and embarrassment – this will only add charm to the child. On the contrary – your desire to create a masterpiece will immediately catch your eye.
4. It’s easier. In your own words. Frankly – it works better.
5. Say the questions you will ask the child in advance. We will remove your voice from the final video.
6. Remember interesting facts from the child's life that you can tell.
7. Think about what you can brag about - achievements in studies, in sports, in the art club. Pay attention to this. It is best to shoot a video on the sports field or in the process of the child's creativity.
8. Maybe your child likes to cook goodies? Then make a video about it. It's interesting.
9. Fantasize! Any unexpected move is better than the memorized "boo-boo-boo" how difficult it is to live. A new friend in kindergarten, a new toy or a beloved cat - here's a story for you.

MAIN :
The goal of the video is to show your child from the best side. To demonstrate that he is capable of more than expected. The child is NOT SICK (!!!), but simply lives in different circumstances. This is not about pity. It's about the thirst for life, about the right to an interesting and eventful existence in society.

Good afternoon everyone! In this post, we once again raise the topic of whether it is worth being ashamed to publicize the collection of assistance for your child among the community.
We tell the true story of how the school class teacher and the class parent committee helped Maryam from Dnipro to receive the expected assistance.

On June 27, the collection for sensors for the girl was published. As of September 19, a little more than 7 thousand of the required 29 thousand hryvnias were collected. The missing 22 thousand hryvnias were collected thanks to the efforts of Maryam's class teacher and the parent community of the girl's classmates.
As a result, the girl will receive sensors for 5 months of use.

Of course, we had questions about how the children in the class would react to what they could learn from their parents about this collection? Will there be bullying, disdain, or some other purely negative reaction to an ambiguous event?

We asked Maryam's mother if her child had any problems with classmates after the assembly? - The answer is NOTHING at all. Most of the informed children were understanding, some didn't pay attention at all. That's all that parents who are still hesitating need to understand.

Of course, informing the parents of the child's classmates about your family's current financial problem should be done thoughtfully. And the first thing you need to do is ask your child about it.
But the most important thing is how the class teacher or other teacher who is influential in the community will react to such a proposal from you. A lot depends on the participation of the teacher, the head of the club or the sports section where your child goes. It is these people who are able to push the community to benevolence, to encourage people to want to actively help. Therefore, a huge thank you to teachers like Svitlana Vasylivna Petrunenko, who helped convey to parents the need to help Maryam.

School is not only about textbooks and notebooks. How important it is when teachers and parents understand that the joy of helping others is a basic feeling that must be developed in children. Academic success, hard work and discipline are worthless without children's fundamental understanding of the principles of interaction between people in the community.

We want to raise happy people in our lives, don't we?

An example of when help comes unexpectedly. Two months have passed since the request was published, but the collection for Zlata has not budged at all. But the world is not without good people. There are donors who do not want to disclose their actions and anonymously help with significant amounts. It is thanks to such people that “complex” collections are regularly closed. That is why you should not lose hope when it seems that efforts are in vain. We never know in advance - from where and in what volume the help will come.
Zlata from Cherkasy. Even as a baby, the girl was constantly capricious, did not sleep well, often cried.... The child began to show allergic reactions very early: first rashes on the face, then - atopic dermatitis all over the body, over time - difficulty breathing. Then she began to complain of severe lethargy, Zlata asked to eat and drink more often, but at the same time she was losing weight day after day. At the age of two, the cause of all her symptoms was discovered - insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

Thank you to our friends from DOBRO.UA for helping us implement the project

Let's not forget about other children who need help

Once again about the quality of the content that you provide along with the request.
This is Margarita, whose mother provided this wonderful photo of her little girl.
On May 22, the collection was published. On May 26, 29 thousand hryvnias were already collected from 86 donors. Five days.
Why so quickly?
Because our partners at dobro.ua are true professionals in their field. Thousands of collections have been implemented with their participation. They immediately see which collection will be successful and which will not.

PHOTO, REQUEST TEXT, AVAILABILITY OF VIDEO.

Here are three components, in the qualitative combination of which the collection will be successful.
And such a request has a much greater chance of promotion by the forces of dobro.ua itself
Imagine that among hundreds of requests, yours will appear and stay on the first pages of dobro.ua. That's it, the matter is resolved! The success of the collection is guaranteed.
That's why it is so important to become the best request among peers. That is why it is so important to provide the best photo of your child, an interesting text and shoot a 1-minute video. We will write about how to shoot a video and what to use for the text separately.
Well, is it really difficult to take a good portrait photo of your child? Especially since today everyone can take dozens of photos with a smartphone in 10-15 minutes. Spend this time for your child. Find a well-lit corner in the house or on the street. Get your child interested in something and take a positive photo that you yourself will like. The world in the child’s eyes, a sincere smile, an interesting toy in his hands – that is all that is required of you.
In the end, every family has a photo of the child that they like the most. Take it! But make sure that the child’s real age matches the photo – there should be no discrepancy.
About the video and theses for the text, the request will be in the next posts…

Get well soon, little star🫂🫂🫂🫂
Zlata, you are a great young lady
Good health to you, my chicken!!!
You are a beautiful girl, Zlatochka! Get well soon!
Get well soon, little gold
Zlatochka, your laughter is something! 😁Laugh more often😘

Here are just some of the posts under donations that Zlata from Dnipropetrovsk region received from her neighbors and fellow countrymen. The collection for the girl was distributed to the community and in THREE DAYS we collected 38 thousand hryvnias from 96 donors. Before this distribution, the request collected only 2550 hryvnias in 2 months. Here are the results of our SVOI project. By the way, Zlata is already 13 years old, and she was probably ashamed too. But the posts under donations should have calmed her down. There are much more kind and sensitive people than we imagine. Remember this when deciding whether or not to disclose your problem.

Thank you to our friends from DOBRO.UA for helping us implement the project

Before the start of the new school year, we asked you to help spread the collection for Yaroslav. Your response amazed us! Almost 100 people responded and the long collection was completed.
The boy receives long-awaited sensors for six months of a relatively quiet life. Good luck to you in school, young man! We sincerely thank the donors and those who help us do social work. The summer is over, and we can already see the activation of the collections, which cannot but inspire us.
Find your interest and join our volunteer movement. We know what to do. It will be interesting and useful.

It happened! The little one waited a long time for her sensors. How hard it is to see when a mother makes every effort, and the collection for her child barely moves.
It happens, unfortunately. Why it turns out like this is hard to say. It seemed that such a bright girl as Anna-Sofia would receive help first. But, no matter how we tried to “promote” the collection, it all took almost a month and a half. Yes, summer… Yes, people’s general fatigue from life circumstances… You can give arguments for a long time. Finally, the child received the sensors, and we are moving further into the fall, full of the most daring hopes that everything will be fine! And the first September results inspire us.

Today, 13-year-old Ivan from Kryvyi Rih needs your help.
Help us raise the necessary money for his treatment.

We have spent a lot of time recently talking to parents about the possibility of increasing the speed of collection by making their request more widely known to the community. We cannot say that this is an easy task. Many refuse. People are ready to limit their child in the ability to reduce health risks, but are not ready to put it before the community. We completely understand the motives that guide such parents. In this post we try to understand and debunk common beliefs. We will be grateful for your comments and join the discussion.

So why is it so difficult for us to ask for help, even when it is so necessary? This is a key question that you need to decide for yourself before you take the first step towards receiving charitable assistance.
How many times do we stop ourselves from giving people a chance to feel kinder, more generous and more useful by helping you in a crisis situation. Why it works – because it helps your helper to look at their own problems from the other side, to distract themselves for a while for the sake of a good deed and to feel happier from having helped someone. A person, helping you, makes a gift to himself. And this is understood by those who regularly help others. All religions of the world speak about this.

Do not waste precious energy on thoughts:
- I can’t ask people for help because they are too busy.
- People are not interested in you right now.
- People are having a hard time without your problems.

All these are just YOUR ASSUMPTIONS.
First, ask yourself: “If someone asked me for help in such a situation, would I do the same?” If you answer “yes, of course”, then you should understand that most people think the same way. Most people WANT to help those who need it.

The main obstacle in the way of someone who needs help is “Shame”. Before you even ask, you already feel guilty and embarrassed. This is the UNDERSTANDING that makes you stay alone with your problems. ALL PEOPLE NEED HELP. And your problem does not say anything more than that you need help at the moment.
Learn to value yourself! Remember that just as you helped others in the past, you yourself deserve help from others. Know that you deserve the same, and accept it with gratitude! There is nothing to feel guilty about! Just imagine how many problems would be solved in this world if people would just ask for help? The world is still full of good people who really love to help others!

SO WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO to establish in your mind that ASKING PEOPLE IS POSSIBLE AND NECESSARY?

The first thing is to accept that we are created to work together. It doesn’t matter whether it’s directly or indirectly. We all get help all the time. If you think about it, everything we use to make our lives easier was made by someone else. Even the bed you sleep in was made by someone else. Given that, asking for help isn’t that hard.
Start small: ask someone what time it is. Then ask someone in the store to help you find something. Once you get used to people being happy to help you, it will get easier.

Needing help and asking for it is a brave thing to do! Don’t let shame, guilt, or embarrassment even creep into your mind. If you need help, ask for it. When you get it, be grateful. It’s that simple.

The fundraising for Ostap from Lviv region lasted only 2 days! During this time, 72 people responded to the request and a total of 28,000 hryvnias were collected. As a result, Ostap receives the much-needed sensors before the start of the school year!
This is a vivid example of how the distribution of requests in parents' own social networks works. Of course, not everyone has such a wide circle of FB friends as Ostap's mother (she has 1.6 thousand).
And if you don't have such a circle of friends? The number of friends alone does not decide the issue. Re-expansion plays a big role. You may not guess, but one of your friends will spread it on his profile, and suddenly someone else who has influence on the Internet community will see your request. He does not know you personally, but your request resonated with his heart. And now you, without expecting it, have already collected the required amount. This is how it happens in practice.
We have been working with donors and collections of all sizes and topics for 20 years. And even now, we can't always predict one outcome or another.

Let's not forget about other children who need help

Rostik from Nikolaev also received a gift. In a few days he will start fourth grade. The sensors will be very accurate. Rostik is an open-minded boy and has enough friends. He plays football and is interested in computer science, but it is difficult for him to withstand heavy physical exertion.
Although the boy was born a completely healthy child, the family's happiness was short-lived. At the age of 14 months, he ended up in intensive care in a coma. There, the parents heard the disappointing diagnosis of their boy - type 1 diabetes. Since then, the family's life has been divided into "before" and "after".
At that time, Rostik's parents did not yet know how terrible this diagnosis was and how difficult it was to live with it. Constant pricking of little fingers 20 times a day, endless insulin injections and counting food. At that time, they had not heard of the existence of sensors in Ukraine at all. But over time, they began to appear, but they cost too much. The same situation exists today. Unfortunately, the state does not provide these devices for free. Rostik's mother is unable to work full-time, and her husband's income is not enough. The family lives in Mykolaiv, where they rent housing.

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