We built it. Through a war. Alone. Now we need fuel.

Two and a half years ago, I started building Platforma App from Kyiv — a platform to coordinate humanitarian aid across nonprofits, donors, suppliers, and recipients here.

I had no development background, no team, no budget. Just a problem I had lived firsthand as founder of Doshka Foundation, a humanitarian NGO delivering medical supplies to hospitals and combat medics across since 2023.

The problem was simple and devastating: every organisation was working in silos. Donors didn't know where to send supplies. Nonprofits couldn't find suppliers. Hospitals were submitting needs on WhatsApp. Nothing was tracked. Aid was being lost, duplicated, or simply never arriving. I decided to fix it.

Then the winter came.

Kyiv was without power for weeks at a time. I had spent two years looking for a developer before deciding to learn and do it myself. So when the grid went down, I just kept going — on generator, on battery, whenever there was power. I kept building.

The warehouse where Doshka stores supplies nearly had to close. I spent months finding a new location, then found out we could stay. I kept building.

Spring came and went. I kept building.

In July 2026, Platforma App went live.

Not a prototype. Not a beta. A real, working platform — four tools in one:

Nonprofits — manage inventory, post needs, coordinate shipments end to end

Donors — list what you have to give, find who needs it, publish pickup points on the map

Suppliers — list your stock, get found by verified humanitarian organisations

Recipients — publish wishlists, request specific items, track everything to delivery

Since launch, real organisations have joined. Real hospitals have submitted needs. Real supplies have been matched and shipped. The platform works.

Why crowdfunding?

Crowdfunding is how this started and it is how I want to keep it going. Every euro goes directly into keeping the platform running and making it better. No investors, no strings.

I built this alone. I am not asking you to fund a team that doesn't exist. I am asking you to fund the infrastructure that does:

- Server costs, database, and hosting: ~€100/month

- Developer tools, APIs, and services: ~€80/month

- Legal incorporation and compliance (in progress): ~€200 one-time

- My ability to keep working on this full time instead of taking a second job: the rest

**The goal: €1,500/month to sustain. €3,000/month to grow.**

At €1,500/month, the platform stays live, gets improved, and onboards its first wave of organisations. At €3,000/month, we can move faster — better tools, more integrations, first paid hire.

We are at €3,848 raised to date. 34 donors. Every single one of them matters.

The obstacles are behind us. The platform is real. We just need fuel.

If you have ever wanted to do something concrete — something that lasts beyond a single donation, something that builds infrastructure rather than just sending supplies — this is it.

Every contribution, no matter the size, keeps this running.

Thank you.
