We Save Lives, Train for Strength, and Rescue Animals — All in a City Under Fire

⸻

We are a small group of volunteers living in Kharkiv, Ukraine — a city still under daily attack.

We work as emergency medical responders, often doing night shifts every other day, saving lives in the aftermath of bombings. On some days, we work all day — and then go straight into the night. After that, two days off — which we dedicate not to rest, but to helping animals and keeping hope alive.

During those off-hours, we volunteer at animal shelters — bringing food, medicine, and support to hundreds of dogs and cats abandoned or injured in the war.

And that’s not all. We’re also passionate about sports and movement. That’s why we organize training sessions and workouts for donations. Every drop of energy we have, we put into helping others — whether it’s people, animals, or community.

But now we’re at a breaking point.

War continues. Prices keep rising. Our energy is strong — but our resources are running low.

What your donation supports:

• Emergency vet care and medication

• Food and water for overcrowded shelters

• Fuel and transport for rescue missions

• Basic shelter maintenance and survival needs

• Helping us continue doing this work — for people, for animals, for Kharkiv

We are not a foundation. We are not sponsored.

We are people — staying, fighting, caring.

Even $5 can help feed an animal or buy a bottle of antiseptic.

Even $10 can be a life saved.

We invite you to support our mission — or even join our donation-based workouts online or in person (if you’re nearby).

Thank you for standing with Kharkiv.

Thank you for believing in humanity.

With respect and hope,

Vlad
