Birthdays that give back.
Lion's Heart Foundation turns celebrations into help for children in Ukraine. Instead of birthday gifts, our guests make donations — and every dollar goes to programmes that support children affected by the war: psychological care, rehabilitation, and a little bit of normal childhood where it is needed most.
Since 2023, our community in Miami has raised over $157,000 for children in Ukraine.
Be a Santa for a Child in Ukraine — Christmas Gifts 2026
This Christmas, 1,150 children in the care of Voices of Children are waiting for a gift. One gift costs $31. Our foundation has reserved 320 gifts and is raising $10,000 by December 1 to make sure they arrive in time.
How it works
Celebrate
A birthday host invites guests to donate instead of bringing gifts.
We grant
The foundation reviews and grants the funds to vetted partner programmes in Ukraine.
You see the result
Every grant is followed by a public report: photos, stories, and full financials.
