In a heartwarming initiative that involves children helping other children, the “Kids to Kids” Ukrainian Charitable Foundation has joined hands with Coffee Kids Taiwan. The non-profit organization, founded by Lucas Lin, Jeffery Chan, and Tony Kuo in 2020, has donated €2,988 (117,548 UAH) to support five children with cerebral palsy, who are under the care of the “Kids to Kids” Charitable Foundation. The collaboration marks the first of what we hope will be many successful partnerships between our organizations.
The “Kids to Kids” Charitable Foundation team was impressed with the Coffee Kids Taiwan team’s experience and mission after a long correspondence and a Zoom meeting. As a result of our collaboration Coffee Kids Taiwan provided funds for the scheduled rehabilitation of five kids with cerebral palsy, wards of the “Kids to Kids” Charitable Foundation.
Children diagnosed with cerebral palsy require ongoing, lifelong rehabilitation, and the foundation is grateful to the Coffee Kids Taiwan team for their support. The following rehabilitation courses have been covered through this collaboration:
Diagnosis: Cerebral palsy, spastic tetraparesis, developmental delays of all kinds. Needs rehabilitation at the Kozyavkin International Rehabilitation Clinic, Truskavets, Ukraine. The amount of rehabilitation is 22520 UAH.

Each course is individualized, and the number of rehabilitations over a year depends on the child’s physical and psychological condition, as well as the family’s financial ability. While the “Kids to Kids” foundation covers medical services, the families pay for travel, board, and lodging.
The “Kids to Kids” Charitable Foundation is proud of the young people from Coffee Kids Taiwan and sees this collaboration as a great match. The Coffee Kids Taiwan project’s mission aligns perfectly with the foundation’s goal of inspiring children to be sensitive and selfless towards others.
The “Kids to Kids” Charitable Foundation expresses its gratitude to Yulia Maksymova O’Callaghan for her support in this collaboration and active support of Ukraine while being away from home.
DRINK GOOD COFFEE – HELP KIDS IN UKRAINE is the slogan of this initiative.
