Major achievements

During the first months of the war, our mission was to promptly provide assistance to our defenders, to be unnoticeable but extremely necessary helpers at a time when it was still very difficult to provide current needs for soldiers, firefighters and rescuers.
In the first 1.5 months of our activity, our team members have traveled more than 6.5 thousand kilometers across Kharkiv, delivering a lot of different needs to recipients.
With the incredible support of the ordinary Kharkiv citizens, we were able to deliver a lot of things to the defenders of our hometown. And with faith in caring people, our sudden volunteer initiative turned into a systematic charity.
