From a child in care to a foundation founder.
I’ve been through shelters, foster care, and children's villages. This journey taught me the most important lesson: children don’t need just walls; they need safe relationships. Today, as a social work specialist, a positive psychotherapy consultant, a volunteer, and someone with lived experience of orphanhood, i use my background to open these opportunities for others.
My lived experience and years of practice have evolved into systemic support. As a social work specialist and a counselor, I use my expertise to promote family-based care and support foster families.
Now, with my team, we also focus on the social integration of young people, as we believe every child deserves a stable environment to grow, thrive, and find their place in the world — especially in the current context of life in Ukraine.
Аbout the charity
PROGECT
Project "BY THE FIRE: Wild and Wise" (Teen Program)
Teens are the world's intellectual and social capital, taking shape right now. However, our youth are facing immense challenges; stress, war, and isolation are eroding their potential. Investing in their mental well-being today is the foundation for a healthy society tomorrow.
Project "Social and Mental Health Support
for Senior Guardians"
In our culture, the care of orphans often falls on the shoulders of elderly grandparents. They find themselves under double pressure: the challenges of raising a modern generation, their own aging, and the relentless stress of war. By supporting the caregiver, we safeguard the child’s future.
