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.

Get rid of fear. That's right. We feel that we are not alone. Even when it seems that the whole world is against us. It's not like that. Just don't be silent, don't close yourself in and help will come. Talk about your pain, about your worries and people will hear. And they will help. We affirm!

Ksyusha from the stormy Pokrovsk was forced to move with her mother to Bila Tserkva. Yes, this family is not familiar to the community. But what does that change? Ksyusha needs the help of society. And the Bila Tserkva community responded to this. Over 4 days, more than 40 thousand hryvnias were collected. Peace for a year for Ksyusha was provided with sensors that people gave her as help. We respect everyone who joined the collection!

Special thanks to the community leadership and Bila Tserkva Television BCTV for helping to spread the request. Together we step into the future!

We are entering the last winter week with good news. Another sensor has arrived for the children. Four charming girls receive their gifts from benefactors.
It is incredibly pleasant to see their satisfied faces. There is goodness, goodness is endless, goodness is good to be among us!

Despite the harsh living conditions, people are providing their support. The assistance program from our foundation does not stop its movement, every week we process requests from new parents who join us. The number of parents participating in the assistance program has already reached 286.

We look to the future with faith that the "dark" times for the country will end. And after every decline, there is always a time of recovery. The main thing is to preserve humanity during these difficult tests.

Let's not forget about other children who are waiting for help.
Arina from Kryvyi Rih loves to draw and dance. But, unfortunately, the girl had to give up her beloved dancing due to type 1 diabetes. You can help us buy sensors for Arina from the child's page on our website - https://ucccf-help.org.ua/ua/podderzhivaemye-missiej-deti/kvotchenko-aryna-9-let-h-kryvoi-roh/ . Watch the video with Arina and join in!

Friends, an interesting post for those who want to receive support for their children. Here is an example of how you can show sincere gratitude to people who helped you.

Yes, friends - Gratitude and again Gratitude. Something that is easy to do, but how necessary it is. And it is not even necessary so much for those who have already helped you, because people made a donation not for the sake of your gratitude. Your gratitude is your response to society, it is what you can do for people, bringing a piece of good into this cruel world. The laws of goodness work and you have already been convinced of this by receiving help from strangers.

So, let's show how Nazar from Lviv region thanked his benefactors. It is easy, but childishly sincere, putting a part of his soul into the drawing. Is it difficult to do this? NO! But how nice it is to spread such childish gratitude. Moreover, we are sure that Nazar himself liked it. And why not? And the benefactors will be pleased to see that the child is sincerely grateful to them.

We urge parents to involve their children in the process of creating good. Inspire them to create something interesting, to show themselves from an unexpected side. Perhaps your child has abilities in culinary art, or in playing musical instruments. Take a picture of it and send it to us. We will present this information from the best side. Because your child is not helped because he is the most needy. Today, every second child is in need. You are helped because YOUR CHILD IS SPECIAL! You need to understand this.

Friends, at the end of last year we wrote to you about our intention to involve local businesses in helping children https://www.facebook.com/ucccf/posts/pfbid0B5LX7kPGaRH1xVP1XFwj6BfJqAvsrTzmJjmKMrvuU4wiFCMfHpbyeoBaH9mqHvGRl
As part of this initiative, we conducted several test information campaigns using the fund's reserve funds. Today we can draw an interim conclusion on this activity.

3 children from different parts of Ukraine participated in the test - Vadym from Kyiv region, Nazar from Lviv region and Teona from Vinnytsia region. Letters to heads of enterprises located in communities where these children live began to arrive in December. In general, the volume of test mailings was small. But this also contributed to the manifestation of interest in their local children from representatives of the business community. Someone contacted the child's parents directly, someone transferred funds.

There was even an interesting case. The head of a large enterprise, where the mother of one of our boys worked, received a letter we sent. The man invited the woman to his office, found out about the state of affairs in the family. After the conversation, the head provided the mother with financial support and helped her transfer to a higher-paid position in the enterprise. This is how it happens. We never stop saying: While you are silent, you are not heard, they do not know about you!

Now about money. For Vadim, we managed to collect 16,200 hryvnias, for Nazar – 30,950 hryvnias, and for Teona 10,950 hryvnias. In general, this is not much. But considering the small number of letters sent, this is a good result! We have already sent assistance in the form of sensors for these children.

Taking into account the mistakes, we are trying to move on. Another round of the information campaign has already been held in Kharkiv, and it was also successful. Next up are Dnipro and Zhytomyr. There is a lot of work ahead, so we will keep you updated as it progresses.

Another brave foursome appears on our pages. Vadim, Matviy, Zlatozar and Maksym receive the long-awaited sensors for continuous monitoring. Now it will be easier for them to control their “sugars”.

This was possible thanks to the support of our regular partner - DOBRO.UA. In general, together we fulfilled more than 1200 requests for help.

Thank you to everyone for participating and helping in the collection and reading what the mothers of the heroes of our post write to us. It is incredibly nice to receive such thanks!

Victoria: “We sincerely thank the “I Hope and Believe” Foundation for helping my son. Thank you to everyone who joined the collection to purchase sensors. Thank you to the entire team of the foundation, you are doing a very important job. Such a small thing, but very important in life, especially for children”

Irina: “We sincerely thank you for such wonderful help!!! 🙏🏻 My son really needed these sensors, but we did not have the opportunity to buy them. Such a small thing, at first glance, but a very important assistant in maintaining my son's health! Thanks to the sensor, he feels more confident in the future. Now these sensors will last him for eight months. I sincerely thank every person (familiar and unfamiliar) who responded, for every contribution to the purchase of equipment for my son!!! 🤗 Thank you very much for such important work to the managers of the "I Hope and Believe" Foundation !!! May the Lord protect and bless you and your families!!! 😊🙏🏻

Natalya: "Good afternoon, Polina and the entire team of the "I Hope and Believe" Foundation. And everyone who joined the gathering. From the bottom of my heart I want to thank you all! For providing our son Myagky Matvey with such important help for him, on which his health depends. Purchasing a blood glucose monitoring device is very IMPORTANT for a child. We now have the opportunity to measure glucose levels without finger pricking for a while, providing constant control, convenience and stress reduction. Thank you very much! A low bow to you, and to everyone who joined the gathering! May the Lord God protect you and your families! Thank you! With respect to you! Mama Matveya. Myagka Natalya! Thank you very much! 💛🩵🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏"

We are sharing positive news. This time from the town of Varash in the Rivne region, where 13-year-old Mark lives. The community raised funds for sensors for Mark in 1 day.

Mark is the second in the family to have diabetes. The first is his father. Of course, the family's life is extremely difficult under these circumstances. But how good it is when you realize that you are not alone with your problems. We hope that from now on Mark and his family know that help from fellow countrymen will come. You just have to not close yourself in the circle of your problems. Then they will hear you, then they will help you.

We thank everyone who did not remain indifferent to Mark's fate. Special thanks to the information FB group VARASH, with whose participation we managed to call on the community for help. Mark already has sensors, which we congratulate him on!

Let's not forget those who are still waiting for their gifts.
10-year-old Mariyka from Kharkiv has been suffering from type 1 diabetes for almost a year. The girl has not yet had time to get used to the peculiarities of her new life. Watch the video with Mariyka and help the girl.

Well, friends! Although it is incredibly cold outside (how do people live in the North?), we are summing up the first month of work in the new 2026. And we still have something to tell you!
Thanks to our friends from dobro.ua, we collected 1.1 million hryvnias for 37 requests for help for children. This is the highest result in all the years of cooperation with the Ukrainian Charity Exchange. Finally, we have exceeded the mark of 1 million hryvnias per month!

All this was made possible thanks to our cooperation with parents who agree to participate in the dissemination of information about their child. Here are some statistics that clearly reflect this.
During the 8 months of the SVOYM project, we held 80 meetings for different children in different communities of Ukraine. Moreover, most of them were small village communities, where 8-15 thousand people live. So, out of these 80 meetings, only 5 remain unfinished today, and 4 of them were started after December 15 last year, that is, a month and a half ago. But they will also be closed in the near future.

And here are the statistics on projects that do not receive publicity in society, because parents do not agree to it. As of today, we have more than 30 requests for help "stuck". There are some that have been "hanging" for more than six months. Yes, someday they will be closed too. But when? And the child, by the way, is waiting for his devices.

What else needs to be added here? As they say, we create our own lives. Sometimes, out of an inexplicable feeling of shame or distrust of others, we do not give people a chance to help us. Read the reviews of those who believed and have already received help, be inspired by their success stories and start believing in good.

Despite all the extremely difficult conditions of life, good exists, good lives, good works among us.

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!

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!
