Kahlia and her mother are doing everything they can just to survive.

Every day, they spend up to 15 hours collecting cans and recyclable materials, often working until very late at night 10/11pm just to earn one to three dollars in total! Despite working this hard, they recently went three days without eating because they simply could not afford food. When I first met with them in the video they were going in 3 days without food or showering.

Their living conditions are incredibly difficult. Kahlia and her mother do not have a real home they live in a small shack built from recycled materials and whatever supplies they have been able to find.

Kahlia is also currently unable to attend school because her family cannot afford the school fees. Instead of being able to focus on her education and childhood, she spends her days alongside her mother trying to help their family survive.

They are struggling tremendously, but they still have hope for a better future. Their dream is to open a small shop of their own so they can earn a stable income, have food every day, return Kahlia to school, and no longer have to spend 15 hours a day searching for recycling just to survive.

We created this GoFundMe to help Kahlia and her mother get back on their feet — providing immediate help with food and basic necessities while also giving them an opportunity to create a more stable future for themselves.

Our hope is to help with things like safe housing, education expenses, food, essential living costs, and potentially helping them start the small shop they have dreamed about.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, can help change the direction of their lives.

Thank you for helping us show Diya and her mother that they are not alone and that a different future is possible. ❤️

Dear friends and family,

Miracles for Humanity Foundation – Campaign Disclosure

How Your Gift Helps: Miracles for Humanity Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) public charity. All donations are voluntary and subject to standard third-party transaction and processing fees. A portion of all campaign donations supports the essential programmatic, fundraising, and administrative work required to make these life-changing efforts possible. Crucially, these funds secure the logistical planning and field deployments required to safely enter high-risk, poverty-driven communities to find these children (or adults), as well as the exhaustive behind-the-scenes work—including identifying and vetting families in need, communicating with medical providers, family outreach, case management, endless coordination calls, and strict regulatory and receipt tracking—needed to bring their stories to light. These resources are essential to our ability to find families who may otherwise go unseen, personally understand their needs, bring their stories to a wider community, raise awareness and support, and ultimately provide meaningful assistance that can change their lives. To sustain these vital operations, resources also cover storytelling and content production, legal compliance, ongoing program expenses, and the necessary compensation and salaries of the dedicated personnel who manage these cases. All featured family stories, medical details, and media are shared with explicit, documented parental or guardian consent.

Campaign Flexibility, Surplus Funds, & Governance: Campaign funds primarily support the featured family. However, to comply with IRS regulations, Miracles for Humanity Foundation retains ultimate discretion, control, and final authority over the administration and allocation of all contributed funds; as such, donations are final and non-refundable. These resources may also help support other children and families battling cancer through the Foundation’s ongoing charitable programs, including immediate relief grants and other forms of assistance. If the featured family’s needs are fully met, exceed expectations, change, or cannot be funded as originally anticipated, remaining or surplus funds will be utilized for other Foundation programs and charitable purposes entirely consistent with the Foundation’s mission. Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law, though the Foundation provides no guarantee regarding specific medical treatments or health outcomes.

Fund Administration & Assistance Delivery: The Foundation administers campaign funds and determines the amount, timing, and form of assistance based on verified needs and available funding, consistent with the charitable purposes described here, applicable donor restrictions, and existing grant commitments. Assistance may be provided in stages, through direct payments to approved healthcare or utility providers, or through goods and services rather than entirely as cash payments to the family.
