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.

Despite the shelling and the associated power outages, October turned out to be a fairly productive month in our work.
We raised money to fulfill 26 requests for help, and the vast majority of them were on dobro.ua

That is, 26 of our little friends are receiving medical devices or medicines that are so important to them. Is this a lot or not enough? It's hard to say. From the point of view of the entire country, it's nothing. And from the point of view of one mother of a child who received help, it's a lot.

But there is something else that inspires us to continue working. The total amount that we receive for providing help is growing every month. We are almost 2 times higher than our result from a year ago! The SVOYM fund project is gaining momentum every month. More than a third of all funds raised in October are the result of SVOYM's work. That is, thanks to the involvement of communities, we are receiving significant additional opportunities. And so far, we have attracted a little more than 30 communities that have joined the project. Type a query in Google and you will see that there are 1439 communities in Ukraine. Let's calculate how many years we need to use the full potential of the project? Even if we add 20 communities every month, it will take more than 6 years. Only the first cycle of the project is more than 6 years! But the project is not being done to use the community's capabilities once. In each rural community, there are at least a few children with diabetes, and in urban communities we cannot count at all.

So, where the end of this work is - it is difficult to imagine.
Instead of counting and imagining, we look ahead and add new breaths, new ideas and development options to the project. A new fundraising initiative from our team is already at the start. There are many hopes for its success, but we will not announce what it is yet. The time will come.

So, once again, we inform the parents of children with diabetes who seek help.
- Do not neglect the capabilities of your community.
- Get involved in the SVOYM project and take your place in the community of those with whom we will work for years.
- Instead of waiting months for the publication of your request and then waiting for the collection - stand by, help us and provide your child with the necessary with our participation.
- Now we are forming a community that is able to help itself. It is up to you to decide whether you are with us.

Good day to all, our dear friends!

We are pleased to note that the number of regular donors to our projects is growing from time to time. And this is incredible! Because regular, permanent donors are not only about increasing the amount of assistance. This is confirmation of the effectiveness of our work, it is the basis for the growth of the organization and increasing the number of projects that we conduct.

We are infinitely grateful to everyone who periodically visits our pages and helps to close the most complex requests that cannot collect a sufficient amount of support. Such help is invaluable to us, because there is nothing more vulnerable for our movement when the collection “gets stuck” and assistance to a child is delayed for an indefinite period. But there is always (we emphasize – ALWAYS!) a person who does not allow parents to be disappointed and lose hope for help.

Today we respectfully note the FIDEM MORIS translation agency for the desire of these people to be useful exactly where they are most expected. With the participation of this company, your children receive the desired devices, and we get the opportunity to develop our movement in a positive way.

What is the SVOYM project? This is when you get even more than you ask for.

Once again, decent mothers tell us that by spreading their request in the community, we manage not only to provide the child with sensors, but also to additionally buy something for the child with money that comes directly from people. And this is pleasantly surprising. Because it only confirms that we are moving in the right direction.

In two days, thanks to the community, almost 30 thousand were collected for 9-year-old Anastasia-Maria from Ivano-Frankivsk region. And in addition, her mother received another 20 thousand from people directly for medicine for her daughter. That's it. We believe in people and are not afraid of judgment. If you really need help - look for it around you first. And we will help you with this.

Tired of waiting for help and don't want to wait three or four months? Write to us on Viber 067 487 71 22 and we will help distribute your collection among the community where you live. Those who are ready to cooperate do not wait for the general queue to place a request.

Friends, another positive news for today.
Finally, we are launching the fund's Instagram page. Why finally? Because we made and filled it ourselves, without the support of professionals. So we do not expect applause and hope for understanding regarding the design.

In fact, this is a duplication of news that we provide in our Facebook group. But maybe someone will find it more convenient to use Instagram.
Well, the possibilities of distribution and increase of our audience have increased. And if there are more of us, then there is more help for children. There is a direct connection here. We will try to develop the Instagram page and hope for your help, tips and advice.

So we invite everyone to visit, subscribe and help spread our Instagram page.

Monday is a hard day?
For those who don't like their work, probably. But not for us. In the morning we open the FB group and what do we see? WE ALREADY HAVE 1000 readers!

Friends, this inspires us for the whole week. This means that there is someone to work for, someone to implement plans and ideas with, there is something to come to work for after all.
The greatest value of public activity is that we work for people. Whoever has experienced this for themselves knows what we are talking about. This is a different environment, different relationships, a different view of your life and its meaning.
Thank you for being with us! We are all different, but when you feel like a part of something important and useful, your internal energy grows exponentially. And it is no longer so important that the environment does not always understand you. Because you feel how the relevance of good deeds changes you and your attitude to life.
Let's move forward with faith and a positive attitude!

We are happy! Despite external obstacles (like everyone else, our office also has a problem with the supply of electricity), we continue our movement of real help. Moreover, compared to last year, the volume of help from the fund has increased almost one and a half times.

Finally, we have found a direction for our work that can be developed for years. And there will not be enough life to complete it. The project of organizing help from communities "SVOIM" is gaining momentum and bringing real physical results. Today we have involved only 30 communities, and how many are there in Ukraine? And in each of them there are children with diabetes, and in most there are several. So, let's look ahead with optimism and move on.

Recently, we handed over the expected gifts from donors to three incredible girls. Sofia, Oleksandra and Kateryna. Different regions, different destinies, but a similar life that must be lived with the awareness that you are the best, special, most charming. We wish you, girls, to find loyal friends and good teachers on your way!

Let's not forget about other children who need help
Today, 11-year-old Victoria from Kropyvnytskyi needs your help. Despite all the difficulties in her life, the girl is achieving success both in her studies and in her creative skills. Victoria twice took first places in the All-Ukrainian competition in the instrumental genre of violin. In 2024, she won the Grand Prix "Voice of the Institution" and in 2025, the "Golden Voice of the Community" among schools.
Let's help her!

Good afternoon, our dear readers!

Let's start the new week with amazing news.
Finally, we can provide LinX sensors with a guarantee from the supplier and at a good price! We have held successful negotiations with the supplier ECOMED and are starting cooperation.

It is clear that not everyone has tried to use these sensors yet, but we are confident that this brand will take its significant place in the Ukrainian market. The price of the sensors is attractive in relation to others. For the usual one-time package of assistance for us, we will be able to provide 17 LinX sensors.

Therefore, we urge the community of parents to try LinX and, if the child does not experience irritation, switch to these devices.
The supplier has already created a Viber group for help with usage. The name of the group is Ecomed-LinX
So, join, try it and draw conclusions. We believe that these sensors have every chance of becoming the most widespread among the DIA community. We wish you success!

Good afternoon to all, our dears!
Yes, yesterday was our anniversary.

Exactly 20 years ago, our organization was entered into state registers. It is already hard to believe that so much time has passed. We had the first years of great inspiration and success, and years of stable operation, and difficult times of rethinking our goals. But the work of the foundation never stopped for more than a month. Even after a fire destroyed our office in 2022 and we collected funds from friends to restore it.

How many people have passed through our ranks? Probably about a hundred. Young, sincere and passionate about charity, employees, volunteers, friends and donors joined us. And we are happy that we could provide those who wish with the opportunity to use some time of their lives for social work. We remember everyone, we honor everyone.

Now our organization has a new surge of activity and growth. Thanks to immersion in the topic of childhood diabetes, we have found a new community with whom it is interesting to work. New people are joining us again, we are once again full of new projects. We are eagerly taking on difficult issues and so far everything is working out.

So, with faith and understanding, our ship sails on, full of the most daring hopes. Congratulations to everyone involved!

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?
