On February 24, 2022, Russia attacked sovereign and independent Ukraine. Since that day, together with a group of like-minded people, we have organized a volunteer group that helps the military, emergency services and all citizens who need help and support.

Since the foundation's existence, we have donated dozens of cars for the military, thousands of uniforms, tens of thousands of different military accessories and endless amounts of essentials.
