Welcome 
Mission Ukraine Children's Hope, MUCH, is a charitable organization founded to support the ministry of Mark Koehler, an independent Christian missionary. Its purpose is to improve the quality of life for disadvantaged children in Ukrainian communities and orphanages.
In 2002, Mark Koehler had a vision to help disadvantaged children in Ukraine. His vision blossomed with the founding of MUCH in 2004.
Mark's independent, Christian based ministry works with children in several Orphanages providing clothing, education, and hope. Since 2004, MUCH has started 5 massage therapy clinics that work with children to overcome minor disabilities. Without the help from the MUCH massage clinics, many children have no hope of lessening their disabilities.
Maxim, the boy pictured above, couldn't attend school unless he had a walker. His mother home schooled him for three years until MUCH provided a walker — a ticket to school and to the world for $50 USD. US Dollars buy so much more in Ukraine!
Sasha, seven years old and a patient of the Illichevsk Massage Clinic, 
is full of excitement, curiosity and energy like most children. But, she must dream about running and playing. A physical condition that causes joint problems makes it awkward for Sasha to walk.
She enjoys reading, writing, drawing and cooking and wishes to be an astronaut when she grows up. Her boundless imagination and creativity are her escape from physical limitations.
Daily life is a struggle for her; but she is always smiling and has a positive attitude. She hopes that someday she will run and play with the other children. Until then, she continues to dream.
