My name is Kerry and I live in Australia. I am organising this fundraiser for a trusted friend, Максим Огороднік in Ukraine.

For years, he has volunteered his time and resources to support humanitarian aid deliveries - including food parcels, medical supplies, hygiene kits, warm clothing, and other essentials for civilians affected by the conflict.

He is currently injured and unable to carry out these deliveries himself, but he has a reliable, established network of volunteers who continue the work in his place. He coordinates with them and ensures that supplies reach the families who need them most.

Because GoFundMe does not support withdrawals to Ukraine, I will receive the funds here in Australia and send them to him via his verified PayPal account, which he uses to distribute funds to the active volunteers on the ground.

What your donation supports

These volunteers travel long distances - often into difficult areas - to reach people who cannot access help on their own.

Transparency

I will post updates after every transfer (redacting personal details)

A clear donation log will be maintained

All funds support humanitarian volunteers and essential supplies

No money is used for non-humanitarian purposes

Why this matters

Even while recovering from his injury, Максим is doing everything he can to support the volunteer team continuing this humanitarian work.

Your contribution - big or small - directly helps people in Ukraine receive critical supplies during an extremely challenging time.

Thank you for standing with Ukrainian volunteers and supporting humanitarian relief.

Important Transparency Note:

Максим is currently recovering from an injury and is not able to deliver aid personally. Funds will be transferred via his verified PayPal and then distributed to the trusted volunteers he has worked with for a long time. All funds go directly toward ongoing humanitarian aid efforts.
