My journey in charity began with personal experience. At one point in my life, I faced an oncological illness, and it was then that the “Happy Child” Foundation supported me. Today, my work here is not just a job, but a conscious choice and a form of gratitude that has grown into my life’s mission.

I work as a project manager, but my role goes far beyond that. I organize processes, coordinate assistance, and take part in field trips, evacuations, and the delivery of humanitarian aid. For me, it is important not only to manage, but also to be directly involved in every stage of the work.

Since the beginning of the full-scale war, I have been involved in evacuating civilians and animals from dangerous and frontline areas. I organize missions, accompany people, and help families reach safe locations across Ukraine. These are often decisions that must be made quickly and under risk, and I take responsibility for them.

I also contribute as a volunteer to supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine by helping organize and deliver essential aid.

A separate area of my work is the development of social taxi services — a project that provides transportation access for people with disabilities, as well as seriously ill children and adults. Within this work, transport is used, including the vehicle “Malamute”, which helps carry out both social and evacuation missions.

I am also a regular blood donor, as I believe that help should not only be organizational, but also personal.

I place great importance on learning and professional development. I have completed numerous trainings and courses in the field of charity work and the human rights sector. I am also trained in tactical medicine (TacMed) and have repeatedly completed first aid training, which is critically important in my work.

I work with families in need of support, helping to formulate requests, organize fundraising efforts, and personally deliver assistance. For me, it is important not only to provide necessary items, but also to be present and truly understand people’s needs.

Every day I see the results of this work — and that is what gives me the strength to keep moving forward.

For me, charity is not just a job. It is my choice, my responsibility, and an opportunity to be useful where it truly matters and helps save lives.
