OUR STORY
Following the start of the Russian occupation in Ukraine, a small group of people looking to assist those in need came together to form something much more than a team. They grew to be a family, committed to their goal of helping the people of Ukraine. With this team's passion and strengths, they will continue to serve the most vulnerable members of society and fortify communities at home and abroad. With children being our primary focus and motivation.
Our team is made up of volunteers. This means no staffing costs, or administration fees, Ensuring every dollar donated goes right to our projects and those who need it most!
