On November 25th, our friend Artur Vilchynskyi was killed while defending Ukraine’s skies from Russian attacks.

I knew Artur personally. His son Gregory and my daughter Victoria went to kindergarten together. From the very first time we met their family, Artur struck me as an exceptionally genuine, kind, and warm-hearted person.

The love he showed for his little boy was unforgettable. He was a devoted father and a truly good human being.

It is heartbreaking to imagine the grief of his wife Olena and their son Gregory, who is only 10 years old and now growing up without his father.

No words can describe the pain of losing a husband, a father, and the family’s source of support.

While nothing can ever replace Artur, we can help ease the immense burden that now rests on Olena’s shoulders.

Your donation will help cover basic living needs during this incredibly difficult time — from rent and daily expenses to supporting Gregory’s future and emotional recovery.

Every donation makes a difference.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support, kindness, and compassion.

Warm regards,

Vitalii Makhov
