On the eve of the winter holidays, we especially want to believe in miracles. Our hearts are filled with warmth, and our belief that dreams come true grows stronger. This is a time when we encourage one another to do good deeds, support each other, and donate regularly. On the eve of St. Nicholas Day and Christmas, these aspirations take on special significance because children, more than anyone else, are waiting for attention, warmth, and a little miracle. And only we, as adults, can give it to them.
LEVCHYK SPECTRUM HUB is a place where, every day, methodologists and specialists work to fulfill the greatest dream of parents raising children on the autism spectrum: to help their little ones acquire the necessary skills and integrate into society.
“My biggest dream is to hear ‘mom’. To see my Mark turn to me, look me in the eyes, talk... Thanks to the classes at LEVCHYK, he can already say some words, play, and communicate — this is our big win,” says Kateryna, mother of 3-year-old Mark.
This December, the Future for Ukraine Foundation joined forces with socially responsible Ukrainian businesses to give even more love and support to the LEVCHYK SPECTRUM HUB project — a center providing correctional help for IDP children and children from frontline areas on the autism spectrum. In 2025, in addition to the hub in Lviv, a center opened its doors in Mykolaiv — an important space for children, where they receive daily care, development, and stability, which are so often lacking in conditions of living under constant threat.
With love and faith in small and big steps that matter, businesses joined in supporting hubs during the pre-New Year season by opening their own collections or creating special charity dishes. Thanks to this, you can support hubs by simply donating or placing an order for yourself or your loved ones.
From December 1 to 6, the FFU Foundation and Cheesecake Family invite you to try their special Christmas cheesecake, Kinder Dream. All proceeds from its sale will go to support LEVCHYK SPECTRUM HUB. "Kinder Dream is a child's dream in the form of a dessert. It's that taste when you want a lot of chocolate, and a little bit more on top," says the Cheesecake Family team. You can try the dessert at locations on 24 Velyka Vasylkivska Street and in the Rybalsky residential complex.
The REMI restaurant has launched a warm and heartfelt Christmas fundraiser. The team encourages everyone to become a little St. Nicholas for the children of LEVCHYK Mykolaiv. Each donation is turned into an individual gift: soccer balls, art kits, puzzles, books, dolls, and educational toys for the children of LEVCHYK SPECTRUM HUB.
In addition to this year's initiatives, the Future for Ukraine and LEVCHYK SPECTRUM HUB teams would like to express their sincere gratitude to their partners, who create a real winter fairy tale for the children every year. The product IT company, Quarks, fulfills the wishes of LEVCHYK's pupils and, like a true St. Nicholas, gives the children the gifts they dream of, which they write about in their letters to him. Toy trains, books about dinosaurs, roller skates, board games, Hot Wheels toys, and many other children's dreams have already come true thanks to the Quarks team!
Partners who create a delicious holiday for lion cubs every winter — Milk Bar café and pastry shop. Each package of sweets is a real miracle for the cubs and the taste of a happy carefree childhood — moments of pleasant emotions that will be remembered by both children and their families.
Supporting LEVCHYK SPECTRUM HUB means giving children with ASD the chance to enjoy happy childhood moments and helping them acquire vital life skills. It is a path to confidence, independence, socialization, and discoveries.
“Thanks to her classes at LEVCHYK, Daniela has become more confident, learned to construct sentences, tell stories, and play the piano — her dreams are coming true. And so do ours,” says Tetyana Shepel, mother of 12-year-old Daniela.
We invite you to visit our partner restaurants, try our charity dishes, and support LEVCHYK SPECTRUM HUB.
