Our Impact
Maya's Way was created to carry forward Maya's kindness, love, and light, ensuring her spirit lives on in the hearts of those we serve. Through giving programs, celebrations, and community partnerships, we turn compassion into meaningful action.
Living with Heart - February 2026
Living with Heart united nearly 40 volunteers to strengthen awareness around heart health, cancer prevention, and informed preventative care. Through community learning, reusable educational resources, and a $250 donation directed by our winners to UH Rainbow Children's Miracle Network, the event reinforced the importance of giving back.
"Because taking care of yourself is an act of love."
Thank you to all our volunteers and participants for making Living with Heart a success and for helping spread awareness around heart health and preventative care. Thank you to Dr. Umesh Yalavarthy from Cleveland Kidney & Hypertension Consultants for the sponsorship and Jan Dickard for your time & support.
Warm Hearts, Warm Hands - January 2026
Together we made a significant impact: donated 400 emergency thermal blankets, 1,200 hygiene wipes, 100 toiletry kits, and 30 menstrual care kits; provided 700+ winter care items including gloves, hats, scarves, socks, and blankets; and packed 32 jumbo bags filled to capacity with coats, boots, and winter clothing, totaling over 1,000 pounds of donations to North East Ohio Coalition for the Homeless.
