A Piece of Ukraine.
A Gift That Helps a Family.
Bring home an authentic handmade Ukrainian Motanka Doll and help support autistic children and their families in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine.
Each doll is individually handmade through the United Hearts Foundation, an organization that continues supporting families despite the challenges of wartime.
Your Motanka helps support families while preserving a beautiful Ukrainian tradition.
Behind Every Doll Are Real Children and Families
The United Hearts Foundation continues supporting autistic children and their families in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine, despite the extraordinary challenges of living through wartime.
For families raising autistic children, war can bring even greater challenges — disrupted routines and services, uncertainty, displacement, financial hardship, and difficulty accessing the support their children depend on.
Yet these families continue moving forward, and United Hearts continues bringing them together, creating community and providing support.
When you choose a Motanka, you are not simply buying something beautiful. You are helping a community of families who need support, connection, and hope.
More Than a Doll
The Motanka is one of Ukraine's most recognizable traditional folk dolls. For generations, Motanka dolls have represented family, protection, heritage, hope, and connection to home.
Traditionally created by hand, Motanka dolls were much more than children's toys. They became symbolic guardians of the home and family and an enduring part of Ukrainian cultural tradition.
Today, these Motanka Dolls carry another story. They connect people across thousands of miles — from families and creators in Kryvyi Rih to people who choose to support them here.
A Ukrainian tradition becomes a way to help Ukrainian families.
No Two Motanka Dolls Are Exactly Alike
Every doll has its own combination of fabrics, embroidery, colors and handmade details — making the Motanka you receive truly your own.
Your Doll Will Be One of a Kind
Because every Motanka is individually handmade, colors, fabrics and decorative details may vary slightly from the photographs shown. These differences are part of what makes each doll special — no two are exactly the same.
