I’ve been donating to Maya’s Hope for years and started volunteering my time to help out with its annual gala for the past two years. Every year involved has been better than the last! I love seeing the children and families that Maya’s Hope helps. This is a wonderful organization!

I have experience with Maya’s Hope as both a donor and a volunteer. I started donating because I appreciate organizations that offer essential assistance to children while also understanding the importance of keeping families bonded. I then became involved with volunteering after meeting the kind and caring board members of Maya’s Hope. I learned more about how Maya’s Hope operated and how they were able to provide life saving surgeries and what was needed in order to take on more children to sponsor. Maya's Hope is an extremely important organization because it helps offer children and families that are struggling, an essential element: HOPE.
Maya's Hope has stayed resolutely on mission since before there was a charity called "Maya's Hope". At first Maya practically singlehanded went to Philippines and Ukraine to deliver aid to orphanages, and she hasn't stopped. Maya's Hope truly cares deeply about children in need and has marshalled forces over the years to bring critical surgeries, therapies, and supplies to poverty-stricken and war-torn areas. I am delighted to be a monthly supporter, and am always with Maya's Hope in spirit on its worthy goals.
Maya's Hope. demonstrates extraordinary compassion and dedication in its mission to improve the lives of children in the Philippines and Ukraine. During one of their fundraising events, I witnessed this organization's transformative impact on vulnerable children in our communities.
What distinguishes Maya's Hope is their grassroots approach and direct involvement with local communities. Rather than implementing one-size-fits-all solutions, they take the time to understand each child's specific needs and circumstances. This personalized attention ensures that resources are utilized effectively and create maximum impact for each beneficiary.
For organizations and individuals seeking to make a meaningful difference in children's lives, Maya's Hope represents an exemplary model of effective international humanitarian work.
I stumbled across Maya's Hope while looking for volunteer work as a photographer back in 2016. I fell in love with the organization and its mission to help orphaned, impoverished and special needs children across the globe. After getting to know Maya, her story, the successes and even the tragedies, I'm always in awe of her steadfast dedication to each and every one of these children. Maya and her team are exceptional in their work and lead with love, care and kindness.
I first met Maya through a Craigslist post looking for volunteers to help kids in Ukraine and the Philippines. Since I’m part Ukrainian and Filipino myself, the cause really resonated with me, so I decided to get involved. I had no idea at the time just how much of an impact this organization would have—not just on the kids we were helping, but on me too.
Back in the early 2010s, it was just a small operation—literally packing up clothes in Maya’s NYC apartment. But over the years, I watched it grow into something truly incredible, touching so many lives along the way. It’s been amazing to see how much good can come from a simple idea fueled by passion and kindness.
On a personal level, I also gained a lifelong friend in Maya. She’s like a big sister to me, and I’m so grateful to have been part of this journey from almost the very beginning.
If you’re looking for a way to give back, I can’t recommend this charity enough. As Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” Being part of this has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
Who knows Maya knows that her foundation is run with a deep commitment to serving others in a way that is truly outstanding. It all comes from a place of love, dedication, and a genuine desire to make a difference. I deeply believe in the mission of Maya's Foundation because it is built by all of us who want to contribute to something bigger, something meaningful. With Maya leading the way, this foundation isn’t just offering help; it’s changing lives, supporting families and children in ways that truly matter.
I've been following Maya's Hope since 2014 and I'm consistently impressed by their transparent work and the incredible support they provide to children in need.
Their dedication to improving the lives of orphaned, impoverished, and special-needs children is truly inspiring.
Thank you for your dedication to this important cause, Maya's Hope.
This organization is led by an amazing, driven, and selfless group of individuals. To provide basic necessities for children who are in extremely difficult circumstances. I have seen first hand how tirelessly the staff and volunteers work to help as many families as possible. Maya's Hope has provided aid to families in war torn Ukraine, and the impoverished families in the Phillipenes. Where basic necessities are much too difficult for some families to afford. Because of this organization, more children were given the chance to have a better and more fulfilling future. A future filled with hope, promise, potential, and happiness.
There are so many nonprofits doing great work, but Maya's Hope is truly strategic and effective when it comes to ensuring the $$$ and goods donated go directly to their mission - directly helping orphans, specifically children with medical needs. As someone who has worked with many nonprofits, I am so impressed with the direct impact Maya's Hope makes in the lives of the kids it serves. Keep up the amazing work!
I have been a volunteer for Maya’s Hope since 2024, and I have also donated to the foundation. I was first drawn to the organization through a shared post about Maya’s Hope by one of my good friends, Myra, who is also a volunteer. I thank her for introducing me to this amazing organization and this group of people who work miracles for families. I would definitely recommend supporting this organization to anyone.
I am always looking for ways to give back and felt that I would be a good fit as a volunteer for this organization. With that being said, I absolutely love being a volunteer and working with the team—it feels like a family. I feel very honored and privileged to have the opportunity to help and to work alongside people who are incredibly passionate and dedicated to supporting families and their children, especially those in the Philippines and Ukraine. Everyone is hard-working and each person puts their heart into what they do. I am continuously inspired by everyone on the team, especially Ms. Maya, who dedicates endless hours to helping families and children. She and Ms. Ollie give their time, energy, and effort to guide everyone in a positive and welcoming environment. They go above and beyond, always striving to improve the organization and make things more efficient. These two individuals are not only understanding and approachable but are also always willing to answer questions. As a volunteer, your input and suggestions are recognized and valued. They are, simply put, incredible people—essentially superheroes in my eyes.
As a volunteer, you also gain insight into what goes on behind the scenes. I have the opportunity to communicate with and get to know these families. I love hearing their stories and checking in with them—you form real connections and relationships. This work is deeply personal and heartwarming. Families are provided with basic necessities such as food, diapers, medicine, and water. Children in dire need of proper nutrition bounce back, improve, and grow. Others receive assistance with education or life-saving surgeries. Some families may simply need advice or guidance, and there is always someone there to listen. The organization does everything it can to help. The successes of these families are documented for everyone to see, with records and reports ensuring transparency. Donations go directly to helping the families, and there is constant communication. You truly witness the positive and life-changing impact of Maya’s Hope—it is nothing short of amazing and inspiring.
I have volunteered for many programs and organizations since I was a child, but none come close to Maya’s Hope. This is the kind of organization where I want to volunteer and help whenever I can because I wholeheartedly believe in the cause. There are opportunities to help in different ways. I truly applaud and thank everyone who makes this organization what it is. I hope it continues to grow. There is so much love, care, and attention poured into the work—it’s contagious and awe-inspiring. The cause is incredibly important, and being part of this community is a deeply rewarding experience. It reminds me that the fulfillment of knowing I’ve helped in making a difference in someone’s life holds far more value than any amount of money I could ever have. My experiences with volunteering have given me a new perspective on life, and I hope to continue supporting this organization for the rest of my life.
Thank you again.
Best,
Stephanie
Maya’s Hope is an incredible organization that is truly changing lives. Their unwavering dedication to supporting orphaned, abandoned, and special-needs children in Ukraine and the Philippines is nothing short of inspiring. What sets them apart is their personalized approach—ensuring each child gets exactly what they need, whether it's medical care, education, or simply the basics like food and diapers.
The team’s transparency and accountability make it easy to support their work, knowing every dollar goes directly to making a real impact. Maya and her team put their hearts into everything they do, and their commitment to these children is unmatched. If you’re looking for a nonprofit to support, this is one that is truly making a difference.
I have been a donor for nearly a decade now and it is my favorite charity to give to due to the transparency of the organization. More of my dollar goes to the kids than other charities I’ve donated to in the past and Maya is a pleasure to speak with. I love my regular updates from my sponsor kids and send them extra money at Christmas. Highly recommend.
I love Maya's Hope and have supported their charity because they advocate and fundraise for kids who quite literally have no other hope. They are often brining life or death interventions to save and change lives. We see the impact of a small group of people banding together to see a bad situation turn around. Thank you Maya's Hope for all that you do for these kids and families and how you invite us to be change makers!
Also the updates on social media really make us feel like we are a part of it all! And the hand written appreciation cards speak volumes. You are the real deal and I love it!
I have been a donor and volunteer with Maya's Hope since 2024. What initially drew me to the organization was not only Maya’s immense compassion and mission but also my own personal connection—I was an orphaned child in a third-world country, so I deeply understand how vital organizations like this are for children who might otherwise feel forgotten, lost, or alone.
Every volunteer and donor I’ve met is truly dedicated to the cause, and the passion behind Maya’s Hope is inspiring. I love seeing Maya’s posts on social media, whether she’s sharing the direct impact of her work on the children or rallying support through donations. It’s a constant reminder of the difference this organization makes.
I feel privileged to contribute, even in a small way, to changing these children's lives for the better.
I am a proud supporter of Maya's Hope and am deeply inspired by Maya Crauderueff's leadership. The organization’s commitment to providing life-saving surgeries, essential supplies, and nourishment to children worldwide is remarkable. Their compassionate, transparent approach and dedicated team of volunteers create an uplifting atmosphere that truly embodies hope. Maya's Hope makes a tangible difference in countless lives, and I am continually motivated by their impactful work and unwavering dedication to serving those in need.
I am daily inspired by the great work Maya and her foundation continue to do for children and families across the globe. I have gone from donating instruments to sponsoring a child on his journey through higher education. Volunteers never fail to send a personalized thank you note for every contribution made. I love seeing the progress of children’s care on social media and it has made me want to give more. It’s a joy to see the overwhelming success stories as well as the challenges these children face daily.
Maya’s tireless effort are so inspirational and truly make a change in the world. I will be a lifelong contributor to her cause.
I’ve been donating to Maya’s Hope for over a decade, her non-profit is transparent and honest about where and how your donations are used. The work and aid that’s been done in both The Philippines and Ukraine have sent children to school, put food in their bellies and medical care at their front door. Maya and her team work tirelessly to advocate for these kids and their families. The circumstances in both countries are different but without Maya’s Hope and the support it gives through non-profit donations there would be a lot more hopeless families and children. Thank you Maya’s Hope for what you do.
I’ve been very impressed with both the work Maya’s Hope is doing and its amazing leadership. Maya works incredibly hard to support those that need it most, orphaned, impoverished and special medical needs children in Ukraine and Philippines.
Maya’s Hope is truly an extraordinary organization. I’ve had the privilege of following their work for over a year, and recently, I attended their gala, an event that only reinforced how deeply committed they are to their mission. As someone from Ukraine, it means the world to see them providing life-changing support to children in my home country, especially during such a devastating time. Their dedication to ensuring that every child, regardless of circumstances, receives the care, resources, and love they deserve is nothing short of inspiring. Maya and her team put their hearts into everything they do, and the impact is undeniable. I am so grateful for their work and encourage anyone looking to make a real difference to support this incredible organization!
I have been volunteering with Maya’s Hope for close to a year now, and I am very humbled to be part of this amazing team that is doing something impossible with the resources available and the time frames. Working directly with Maya and Ollie has been a transformative experience of learning how non-profits work and all the work that is involved that’s behind the scenes to ensure the help goes to the right places and at the right time while relying primarily on volunteers to make these things happen. We really have an incredible team of volunteers! It is a supportive community that you look forward to connecting on weekly calls! I enjoy the flexibility and variety of assignments I can engage in, and it is great to be able to grow my skills and be a part of an awesome community while helping families and kids in need. It is a great feeling to do something bigger than yourself when you are busy but still finding time for things that matter.
I've been volunteering with Maya's Hope for almost a year now and it's been a great experience. People here are friendly, hard-working and truly care about the foundation's mission as well as their volunteers. More importantly, they are very passion about helping children who need it most. I'm so grateful that i spend my time volunteering here. I hope the organization is able to expand their reach so more children and families can receive the support
Get to know the foundation about 10 years ago, first as a volunteer, later as a partner. Amazing support, honest interest to every person they try to help, inspiring dedication to what they do. When I first saw Maya i was surprised how she can be such tender and friendly woman to people she help (overcoming all communication barriers) and strong warrior (when she has to protect childrens rights for care). I really like the way organization supports each individual, with respect and empathy to their stories.
Ten years ago, I began my volunteer journey with Maya’s Hope. I can say without a doubt it has been one of the most worthwhile experiences of my life. The experience showed me that any task done with compassion and dedication can have a positive impact on the world. Over the years, Maya’s Hope has continuously brought outstanding individuals together to accomplish the aim of making children smile across the globe. I know Maya’s Hope will continue to make the world a better place for children for years to come.
This group is amazing and very transparent on what they ask and do.. changing peoples life to better thats what makes mayas hope a real hope for the needy.. I support the advocacy
Volunteering for Maya's Hope has been an incredibly rewarding experience for me. Every hour I spend helping children in the Philippines fills my heart with joy and a deep sense of purpose. Seeing the smiles on their faces and knowing that my efforts contribute to their well-being is profoundly gratifying.
Maya's Hope provides essential support to children who need it the most, and being part of this mission has given me a new perspective on life. It’s amazing how a small act of kindness can make a significant impact on someone's life. Volunteering my time to such a good cause has not only allowed me to give back to the community but also enriched my own life in ways I never imagined.
This experience has made me more compassionate, empathetic, and appreciative of the opportunities I have.
I encourage anyone looking to make a difference to consider volunteering for Maya's Hope. The fulfillment you gain from helping others and the positive change you bring about is beyond measure. It’s a beautiful journey that touches your heart and soul, making the world a better place, one child at a time.
Over the past few years, I have moved all of my charitable giving to Maya’s Hope, because of the unmatched transparency and communication of this wonderful organization. Maya’s Hope thoroughly researches requests for financial assistance before sharing a case with its supporters and makes public its vetting process so that donors can feel comfortable that the needs are legitimate. Additionally, Maya’s Hope promptly sends a paper record of each donation as I make it throughout the year. I continue to donate because Maya’s Hope provided excellent follow up information about the children who have receive medical and educational services and supplies-Seeing photos and reading about the way donations have helped these children and their families reassures me that I want to be a part of the work they are doing around the world!
Maya's Hope is a very impactful organization. Its members are highly motivated, and the team I collaborated with was incredibly supportive. It is truly enriching to assist children in need.
I have been an HR Volunteer for almost a year. I can’t express how much gratitude I have for this organization. I’ve connected with amazing people in my field, and I've grown personally and professionally. It’s amazing what happens when people come together who share common values. It has been my privilege to be a part of the Mayas Hope Volunteer team. Maya and Ollie are extremely rewarding to work for and I really feel like I am recognized and valued.
Maya’s Hope is a truly caring and remarkable organization. The work they do for children is incredibly important, especially during these difficult times of distress in Ukraine. I am genuinely happy to be part of the team and contribute in my small way to the profound work that Maya’s Hope carries out.
Happy to volunteer for this organization, and help make profound differences in people's lives. The people here do absolutely great work ensuring children around the world get the help they need to live and thrive.
I continue to sponsor two children through Maya's Hope's Sponsor a Child program, and my experience remains incredibly fulfilling. One of the children faces medical challenges; he needs ongoing support for nutrition and medication. The other child demonstrates remarkable educational potential despite coming from a financially disadvantaged background. Maya's Hope consistently keeps me informed about their progress and well-being, fostering a strong bond between us. I deeply appreciate the transparency Maya's Hope maintains, allowing me to witness the direct impact of my support. My connection with these children and the organization continues to bring me joy and a sense of purpose.
Finally i have found a non profit that not only helps children, but gives 100% of my funds to them. I’ve dealt with other charities in the past that claim to help kids but then my donation somehow doesn’t actually make it to the kids or a very small percentage is given to them. I trust maya and her team with my whole heart and i will continue to support her and the team as they support the kiddos and their families
I try to find meaningful ways to give back to my home country and I was super fortunate to find and be able to volunteer (as a translator) for Maya's Hope. Maya and her team work hard to help children and their families in need of basic care and medical expenses. Everyone, especially children, should have access to daily necessities like food, milk, diapers, medicine, clean water, and so on. My own hope is for them to provide so much more to families in need in the Philippines in Ukraine. Maya's Hope is a worthy organization to support, may they keep growing and expanding!
I came across Maya’s Hope a few years ago and really felt inspired by the work and passion that everyone shares in helping families and kids with special needs. It’s a great community and I only hope that the amount of support continues to grow!
I have donated to Maya's Hope for a few years now because they are truly doing life saving work! They do everything they can to support families with special needs children so they don't have to go to the orphanage. My son is adopted from overseas, and the care special needs children receive in many of those orphanages is terrible. I love seeing the videos Maya's Hope posts after the families receive the items you donated towards. It's humbling and puts things in perspective. You can feel good about donating because they are saving lives every day!
Maya’s Hope has been changing lives of sick indinget Filipinos and Ukrainians. They follow through and always make sure the children are getting the best treatment. The group has been saving lives of Filipino babies by giving them their live saving surgeries and procedures. Thank you very much for helping, you have changed lives for the better.
I have been a volunteer at Maya's Hope since 2020 and the whole experience has been so rewarding. The team that Maya created are full of eager individuals who share a common goal which is to help these children. I love what I do at Maya's Hope and one of my favorite memory as a volunteer was when I met some of the children we've helped in the Philippines. It was such a rewarding and happy experience for me and I plan to visit them again soon.
I have been donating to Maya's Hope for over two years now. I am extremely proud to be a small part of this organized. I love being able to help children across the ocean receive the help they so need.
My first contact with Maya's Hope was a few months ago, and it's worth saying - they changed my view of nonprofits. The amount of attention, care, and love each of Maya's Hope sponsored children receives is unbelievable. Maya's Hope truly saves the lives of these CUTIE PIES! Monthly supplies, surgeries, therapies, education, and the most important - the 24/7 support, and knowing there is someone who cares about their well-being. The sponsors have the chance to support a specific kid, keep in touch with them, follow their journey, and change their life even from thousands of miles away. What is it if not a real-life miracle?
My history with Maya's Hope goes back to June 2022, when I joined the team as an independent contractor. This was supposed to be a part-time project work not lasting more than a month or two. But little did I know back then that I will enjoy assisting the wonderful team of Maya's Hope and will want to assist them in reaching their goals. Being on different continents, we managed to build trustful relations and even witness a special bond appearing between us. This team has become a true family to me.
It's also amazing how these people try to help every soul in a difficult life situation. I am proud to be a part of such a team and want to thank them for their trust and big hearts!
Maya’s Hope is a wonderful organization doing essential work for children in the Philippines and Ukraine. This organization is transparent and lets donors know the meaningful ways their donations impact lives — whether it be in small ways like providing diapers and formula to life changing surgeries. The team at Maya’s Hope is compassionate and dedicated to this worthy mission.
This is an absolutely transparent org that leads with kindness. It meets families where they are and makes HUGE miracles happen like surgeries for children in Ukraine or solar batteries and purified water for families living in shacks in Philippines, but also it makes a lot of daily miracles happen like providing special needs children with therapies or specialized strollers and shoes or basic needs like formula, diapers, food. It’s a very competent group of volunteers and I am humbled to regularly donate to their causes and fundraisers.
I am delighted to share my heartfelt appreciation and admiration for Maya's Hope Foundation, a remarkable nonprofit organization that is truly making a difference in the lives of vulnerable children. The dedication, compassion, and impact of this foundation are simply awe-inspiring.
Maya's Hope Foundation goes above and beyond in its mission to improve the lives of orphaned, abandoned, and special-needs children in Ukraine and Philippines. One aspect that sets Maya's Hope Foundation apart is their personalized approach. Maya and Ollie, 2 angels of the Maya's Hope Foundation, understand that every child is unique and has distinct needs. With this understanding, they work diligently to tailor their assistance to meet each child's specific requirements, whether it be medical care, education, or just basic needs like food or pampers. This level of individual attention and care truly makes a profound impact on the lives of these children.
The transparency and accountability exhibited by Maya's Hope Foundation are also commendable. Donors and supporters can have full confidence in their contributions, knowing that every dollar is utilized effectively and efficiently to maximize the positive outcomes for the children. The foundation maintains a high level of transparency by regularly sharing updates, stories of success, and financial reports, ensuring that supporters are kept informed and engaged in the transformative work being done.
Furthermore, the dedication of the team and volunteers at Maya's Hope Foundation is truly inspiring. Their unwavering commitment and tireless efforts demonstrate a genuine passion for the cause and a deep desire to make a lasting difference in the lives of these children. Their collective commitment and the positive environment they create contribute to the success and sustainability of the organization.
I wholeheartedly recommend Maya's Hope Foundation to anyone seeking to support a nonprofit organization that is genuinely dedicated to improving the lives of vulnerable children. By supporting Maya's Hope Foundation, you become part of a larger movement that is making a significant and lasting impact on the lives of those who need it the most.
Thank you, Maya's Hope Foundation, for your unwavering commitment, compassion, and dedication. Your work is an inspiration, and I am honored to be a part of your team.
Maya's Hope is an exceptional organization that has captured my heart with its dedication, compassion, and unwavering commitment to improving the lives of underprivileged children. What truly sets this charity apart is the personal touch they bring to their work. They go beyond just providing financial aid; they seek to build relationships and create lasting connections with the children they serve and the donors who support them. They consistently communicate with their donors, volunteers, and supporters, sharing updates, success stories, and financial reports. That proved a high level of transparency and accountability. Maya's Hope is undoubtedly a beacon of hope for countless children in need, and I am happy to continue supporting them.
I have been volunteering with Maya’s Hope since last year. I joined this organization when I was looking for ways to help Ukraine and I was so happy to see that Maya’s Hope has been helping kids in Ukraine way before the war started and especially now when they need it the most.
Working with Maya personally is a dream come true. She is very understanding and passionate about what she does. I feel comfortable reaching out to her with whatever help I need and as a full time student she understands how much I can and cannot contribute time wise.
Maya’s Hope is a wonderful nonprofit with a strong message and goal. Everyone who is a part of it works very hard in achieving this goal. I am very happy I became a part of this place and I become more and more passionate about what we do every day .
I've been a volunteer at Maya's Hope for 2 years now and the whole experience is very rewarding. Maya is such a good soul who wants nothing but to help these children in need. She also cares about the whole team. She's always been there for me and the team as well as keeping an open door if any of us needs anybody to talk to. The amount of families Maya's Hope helped and the team dynamics are the main reasons why I continue as a volunteer.
Maya's Hope is always looking for ways to do better. We brain storm and test the waters till we find what works. I've never been such a part of a great team and Maya's love is infectious that I keep wanting to do more for others.
Maya's Hope is a great organization to volunteer with, I find it very rewarding to help in any way that you can. Donations go towards helping children that are malnourished or need surgeries that their parents cannot afford. Ultimately it has also been a key player in helping children and families in Ukraine.
If you want to help, contact them through their facebook page. Maya and her team is incredible, always available to teach new volunteers and make time to help anyone in need.
I have been associated with Maya's Hope for sometime now and it feels great to be a part of the team. Everyone is warm and very supportive. I love how everyone works as a family here under the guidance of Maya. Most importantly Maya's Hope works towards a very noble cause and I feel very good to be able to provide support in someway to the kids. Mayas Hope helps in saving lives of many kids which is commendable. I feel very lucky to be a part of Maya's Hope.
Maya's Hope is an amazing organization to work with for the past year. Everyone that participates cares so deeply for the mission to help children across the world. Maya herself dedicates endless amounts of her time and energy. I am consistently amazed by her and the entire teams dedication and compassion to each and every applicant. Joining Maya's Hope has hands down been the most rewarding experience I have had and I enjoy everyday having the opportunity to patriciate in the organization.
We have a long history with Maya’s Hope, which began in 2015. All these years, Maya’s Hope is one of the few reasons for my faith in humanity. Maya - founder and president of Maya’s Hope - continues to spread hope and kindness even in the darkest times. Especially in the darkest times! Maya does not hesitate to act where others may not see a way out. She strongly believes in the honesty and transparency of any actions, so you can safely entrust your donation to this foundation and know that it will certainly reach those to whom it is intended. It always does! All the above is why I am forever devoted to Maya’s Hope - as a volunteer, as a donor, as a sponsor and as a supporter and admirer. Maya’s Hope makes this world a better place!
I have been a volunteer in Mayas Hope for the last 8 months. Its an amazing organization managed and directed by very committed, hard working, determined people. I have witnesed first hand how many children and their families have been positively impacted by this organization.
I have been a volunteer for Maya's Hope for the past 4 months. I love the community of volunteers and managers, everyone working for the organization is driven to uphold it's noble mission of providing assistant to families who are in urgent need. I am amazed at the dedication of the volunteers and feel the real impact Maya's Hope has been having in the lives of children in the Philippines and in Ukraine. My supervisor and upper management team respects personal priorities so I don't feel like I have to sacrifice any of my major priorities. Overall, I am glad to be part of the team at Maya's Hope and am looking forward to be great things the organization will do in the coming years.
Maya's Hope has touched the lives of so many indigent families and their special needs children in both the Philippine and the Ukraine for over 10 years. Some of these families cannot afford the basics and the children would not have nourishing food, hygiene products and life saving medicines without the foundation's support. Each family is dealt with respectfully and with care. The foundation is responsive, transparent and reliable.
Love this organization! Maya's Hope helps impoverished and orphaned children get access to life-saving medical care, general nutrition, and supplies. It has been super rewarding to be a part of this organization and to be able to watch first-hand the difference made in the lives of so many. Maya and a team of highly dedicated and passionate volunteers work tirelessly to make the organization successful in reaching as many lives as possible and I'm so proud of the work they do!
Maya’s Hope is my favorite non-profit organization. The work that this charity does is amazing. Maya’s Hope continuously helps numerous children receive life saving surgeries and much needed supplies to thrive. This organization is truly dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of impoverished children and their families. I have been a supporter of this charity for several years and I still currently donate frequently. The staff of Maya’s Hope, including Maya herself are easy to reach and very personable. This non-profit organization has heart and that is one of the many reasons that I am a donor. In addition, Maya’s Hope is trustworthy, loving, and dedicated. In my opinion, it is one of the best non-profit organizations that helps children today!
This is an effective, impactful, and transparent non-profit, with an amazing mission. To help children with special needs who are orphaned or impoverished.
The Maya's Hope Foundation provides emergency surgeries for children who have nowhere else to turn. In addition, Maya's Hope provides immediate needs in the form of nutrition, essentials, medical procedures, and equipment as well as medicines, therapies, and more. The organization also sponsors many school-age children to receive an education and provides vital supplies for orphanages in Ukraine.
This is a wonderful non-profit with great reach and efficacity. Money raised goes directly to the children. Every dime spent is documented and traceable, and there is a deeply visible impact - children return from the brink of starvation or death. I have seen this first hand. It is very rewarding to volunteer for this organization and of course, to donate when you can. Donations to this organization will save the lives of children in need.
I have been in Maya's Hope for few months now and I am amazed of how this foundation help kids improve their lives by providing their basic needs, medical assistance and surgeries. The selfless attitude and passion of Maya in helping these kids are very inspiring. It has been an amazing experience to be part of this team. A little part of my time as a volunteer goes a long way for the cuties.
I'm currently having my internship with Maya's hope. During this time, I really saw how they cared and tried to understand the families of the children that they are helping. They act fast especially in emergency situations and I can see how much it helped and saved these children. Additionally, you can really see how much the children have improved over months of help from Maya's hope.
I've been volunteering with Maya's Hope for a little while now, and it is eye opening to see first hand the impact that they have on the families they help. Everyone here has been so kind, welcoming and helpful. I am continually impressed by the work, effort and collaboration of this organization, and it is great to be a part of and learn from a team that truly cares about what they do!
I have been with Maya's Hope for almost 2 years and it's been one of the most fulfilling experiences I've had. Maya as a CEO is extremely passionate about her mission and the children that she's helping. She works tirelessly everyday to ensure that every child gets the support and love that they need, and for that, I'm incredibly thankful to be a part of this organization.
Thank you Maya!
I volunteer for and donate to Maya's Hope because I have seen the evidence of the good we do for children in need--children who were starving, suffering from painful medical conditions, unable to attend school, and on and on. Maya's Hope has literally transformed lives. Maya's work is so important and so worthwhile. I am honored to help in a small way.
Volunteering at Maya’s Hope has been one of the best experience in my life. Maya truly care about every child. It is incredible all the efforts Maya’s Hope has been done to help cutie pies.
Volunteers and donors are so important for Maya’s hope and I’m glad to have helped Maya recruiting volunteers for multiple roles.
Maya’s Hope not just changes the life of the cuties pies Maya’s Hope makes a positive change in the life of every person that get involve with the organization.
Thank you Maya!!!
Best,
Monica
I first encountered Maya of Maya's hope fame several years ago via Facebook. I have since watched her tireless efforts to better the lives of the poor children in her purview through medical help, supplies, sponsorship for schooling, basically whatever is needed . Through all her life events she has continued to give 150% of her time and energy.i have nothing but admiration for her am happy to help in a small way to ensure her success!
Where do I even begin with Maya's Hope? It's been a truly amazing experience volunteering for such an extraordinary organization. Maya genuinely cares about each child in the Maya's Hope program and works so hard to make sure each one gets the treatment and the necessities they need. I'm so happy to be a part of the team of volunteers and am excited to see the charity grow!
This is not a faceless non-profit that sends a generic thank you email if you donate. It's a team and a family of donors and supporters with a mission to save children. They raise money for urgent surgeries in poor families, diapers, formula and caregivers for woefully underfunded orphanages in Ukraine, and so much more. You become attached to the kids they advocate for and are able to pray for them and follow their journeys. I'm very proud to be a monthly donor for Maya's Hope.
As a volunteer here, I mainly did research for the Lotus Ball Gala and occasionally helped out at smaller events. Through this experience, I was able to learn first hand the amount of effort and time spent on the small things that add up into one huge, amazing event. Maya (founder of Maya's Hope) has not only taught me new skills in using the computer, but also made me more aware of the hardships children face in other countries. Maya's Hope constantly aims to raise funds for children in need and while the amount needed to fundraise is a huge amount, this organization's persistence is advertising the need for funds allows it to reach those goals. Additionally, Maya's Hope also does small things such as provide Oreos for kids in countries who consider them an American treat. Through this, you can see that not only does Maya's Hope contribute huge funds that can save someone's life, this organization also contributes the little things that can make someone's day.
Being parents of a 15 year old son with Down syndrome was the motivation for our sponsoring 3 teen boys with Down syndrome in the Ukraine. Our hearts were very moved by a posting we saw from Maya’s Hope and how they have embraced and cared for the special needs community in Ukraine. People need to see these children as worthy individuals who can if given a chance be a valuable part of society. Things changed in the United States many years ago for these wonderful loving kids and our prayer has been that they will soon in the Ukraine. Thank you Maya’s Hope.
Through this non-profit many lives have been saved. Maya's Hope helps orphans in Ukraine and impoverished children in the Philippines. The extremely poor conditions in those countries lead to many children not getting the medical care they need and Maya's hope has been instrumental in getting those children some help. I know that when I donate to this charity - the money is going directly to the children's needs. Every Child has Value and Maya's Hope helps show that every day.
Maya's Hope is not only an amazing non profit, but Maya herself is even more amazing! Her non profit is everything to her and you can see that she truly cares about her cutie pies whenever she talks about them. I have had the pleasure of meeting Maya a few times and she is just as warm and caring as her posts on social media seem. She is a saint for what she does and never gives up on helping all of her cutie pies get the surgeries they need or getting adopted. She is such an inspiration to me! I can't wait to see what happens next for Maya's Hope!!
Maya, President and Founder of Maya's Hope, is an incredible leader. Fiercely passionate and unafraid to voice her opinions on important matters. She works incredibly hard to grow this organization and also practices what she preaches. I feel fortunate to help out in any way I can, especially for the disadvantaged children who need our love, attention, and care.
Childrens charity taken to a very personal and affectionate level. Maya's amazing dedication with the help of her volunteer helpers, big and small, has made a true difference in many childrens lifes.
I absolutely love this non-profit. They work so hard to make sure that the world's forgotten children have a voice and receive the care that they need.
Amazing charity. 100% honest and transparent. Does wonderful things for orphans with special needs in Ukraine and poverty stricken children in the Philippines. Maya's Hope = LOVE!
Through Maya's hope My whole family and I have learned SO much about orphans in Ukraine. Maya, is the hardest worker and advocate for these poor children. She NEVER stops...ever, and thank goodness because these kids need her so much. Just seeing the progress these children have reached since she became a part of them is beyond amazing. She is TRULY SAVING LIVES!!!!!!
This organization has taught me so much about the subtleties and not so subtle foreign policies regarding impoverished children. The balance between awareness and affection that can alter and heal the darkest experiences a child may live, is a totally uplifting feeling. I encourage everyone to not only build and support their own communities but to also share in the experience of changing those communities that are far, far away. As a volunteer for this organization one can expect to build experience in event fundraising, public communications and awareness of global developments, foreign infrastructure groundwork and field work when necessary and above all continuing the growth of a true-to-the-word nonprofit.
I have chosen continued support of this nonprofit by sponsoring a child in the Philippines. This assures education and a healthier living environment for a child and her family. As a continued supporter I find that there are numerous ways to be involved, this is just one way that is the most convenient for me.
I found some of the more recent expansions of this nonprofit to be really interesting, which is a program that allows you to fund a caregiver in the Ukraine for bedridden children along with a massage therapy program for the most physically challenged. The results of these curriculum's are astounding. The children are psychologically and physically healthier, not to mention happier. The communications developed within the institutions are impressive, they include videos, photographs, mailings and donation shipments which allow me to follow the progress of the children and caregivers.
This nonprofit is based on the most dedicated and outstanding people, who lift my hopes as well as those who need it most. This is why I rated this nonprofit 5 stars, it exceeds my expectations of effectiveness on a daily basis.
Amazing charity led by the tireless and talented Maya Rowencak. I am lucky to volunteer for this organization as well as sponsor a child and see the amazing work they do. I wild encourage others interested in helping children in need to get involved and support.
Maya's Hope is a fantastic organization that does a lot of good for children that have no one to fight for them. These are kids who would otherwise be sick, bedridden, abandoned, and miserable. Maya's Hope helps secure medical care, provides education materials, and does whatever necessary to improve their lives. The organization is run by one of the most passionate and caring people you will ever meet. She really works tirelessly to try to make a difference. That's what has made Maya's Hope such an amazing organization.
Maya is a hard-working, dedicated young woman who is helping to provide love and support to children in orphanages.
She has helped provide additional caregivers in orphanages and these children are now able to do things we take for granted every day, like go outside. These children can now have therapies and massages (things that are very beneficial to special needs children).
I came to know of Maya's Hope through Reece's Rainbow. Maya's Hope helps children in the Philippines and in Ukraine, including special needs orphans in very great need. They do an amazing job with the money they raise. Bed bound children receive massage therapy, extra attention from well trained personal hired by Maya's Hope, and better nutrition and the progress are amazing. They also work to have children in the Philippines sponsored so that they may go to school and have life changing medical treatment etc.
They are honest, serious, very efficient and care very deeply for the children they help.
I would recommend this Charity anyday!
