To Families
We don’t stop at one delivery. We stay with each mother through the hardest season, for as long as the funds last. That is the promise.
Every dollar accounted for
$1,479

$0 kept · 100% to families
Every dollar goes to the child’s immediate need.
$1,479 raised. $1,479 delivered. $0 kept. Funds come through GoFundMe and direct transfers. When a donor gives directly, no platform fee is taken — so more reaches families. The next relief round starts at $0, powered entirely by new giving. We operate on a 100% model with $0 overhead; full financial records are available to donors on request.
Proof
The receipts
Every dollar, line by line — the detail behind the chart above.
Itemized receipts and tracking records are kept on file and available to donors and grantmakers on request.
ALAYA Foundation’s 501(c)(3) status is in progress. Donations are not yet tax-deductible. We say so plainly, because the mothers we serve — and the donors who fund them — deserve the truth.
Is this real?
Every delivery is documented — real photos, real tracking numbers, real receipts on file.
Where does my money go?

What We Provide
ALAYA provides physical essentials for children — directly to the mother, directly to her door.

All sizes, newborn through size 6 — pull-ups included.

Gentle wipes for everyday care.

Sized to the child, season-appropriate — shoes included.

The basics a child needs to show up ready.

Gift cards and direct emergency relief for urgent needs.

Car seats, strollers, bassinets, high chairs, sleeping mats.
Every mother’s situation is different. We assess each application individually and provide what the child needs most.
How to Apply
ALAYA supports single mothers in urgent crisis — with no partner support and no family safety net.
Our Story
ALAYA was founded by Yaya Yumak, a single mother who once had $18 to her name and was carried through her hardest year by the generosity of family and strangers.
When she gave her spare stroller away, hundreds of mothers wrote to her — women in crisis with no partner, no family, no one to call. She tried to answer them all alone, and learned that one person is not enough.
The morning she nearly stopped, she walked out her door — and a brand-new bassinet stood on the sidewalk. No note. No owner. She sent it to a mother who had nothing, and dedicated herself to building what she had once needed.
ALAYA was born on a sidewalk.
The moment it began
Into the storm
“The bison is one of the only animals that walks straight into the storm — because it knows that is the fastest way through.”
That is the mother ALAYA was built for.
“We received our package today and my daughter is absolutely ecstatic. Thank you for everything you’re doing.”

Accountability
ALAYA is governed by a board of directors — Yaya Yumak (Founder & Executive Director), Arzu Durmus, and Giovanna Lennis — operating under bylaws and a conflict-of-interest policy.
We operate on a 100% model with $0 overhead. Every deployment is itemized, and full financial records are available to donors and grantmakers on request.
Many mothers we serve are in vulnerable situations. Applications are confidential — we never publish names, faces, or identifying details of recipients or their children without their explicit, documented consent. Where a mother chooses to share her story or appear on camera, it is always by her own decision — confirmed in writing.
