Volunteer Day is celebrated in Ukraine on March 14. This is a very important holiday, which was created in order to always remember what our country is going through now. In addition, there are also Ukrainian volunteers who comprehensively help the military to fight against the aggressor.
There is one of the largest charitable foundations in the south of Ukraine BF "Human Trust Platinum Dobro Ukraine". Since the first days of the war, the foundation's team has been providing charitable assistance to defenders of our state, forced migrants and all Ukrainians who need support in this difficult time. Note that the Fund entered the list last summer the best volunteer organizations of the Odesa region, which was formed by the rating agency "ElitExpert".
Currently, the Foundation employs 87 volunteers, most of whom are displaced persons who know from their own experience what it is like to live under constant enemy fire.
During the last year of the war, the team of the Charity Foundation "Human Trust Platinum Dobro Ukraine" worked and provided assistance to people in 19 regions and 170 institutions throughout the country, more than 40 thousand children's kits were issued. In total, in 2022, it was possible to help more than 25 families. All the more so because even now the volunteers do not stop and continue to work every day and provide assistance to hundreds of families who come to the fund in Odesa and its branch in the region.
Philanthropists also took part in the evacuation and accommodation of people from Mariupol, Buchi, Zaporizhzhia, Vinnytsia, Mykolaiv and Kherson.
The main mission of the Foundation is to revive the belief that goodness exists and human life is the most important value. In addition, benefactors support the soldiers who protect our country in the very hell of the front, and also help the families of fallen servicemen.
The Foundation's team helped the defenders of Bucha and Irpen, defenders in Mykolaiv Oblast and Kherson Oblast, and sent an ambulance to the defenders of Azovstal in August. Also, the foundation delivered 240 boxes of medicines to the Red Cross organization in the city of Ochakiv, thanks to which it was possible to save more than a hundred human lives.
Currently, military units on the first line of defense receive monthly cars from the Platinum Dobro fund, which are needed for combat missions. Only in March, two cars for the Armed Forces were handed over to the Bakhmut direction.
As noted by Marko Tkachuk, CEO of IDS Ukraine, which owns the "Morshinska" trademark, "boys and girls from "Platinum Dobro", risking their lives, transported water and food to other cities, primarily to the front lines of Mykolaiv, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. On their own transport, they delivered more than 100 tons of drinking water to people who suffered from the lack of water supply."
Volunteers also continue to provide assistance to many OTGs in Odesa region, where many displaced people moved to escape the war, as well as to maternity homes, social security services, boarding schools for children, etc. In recent months, the foundation's team has visited the front-line zone several times, and hundreds of residents of recently liberated villages and towns in the South of Ukraine, including Kherson, have received numerous aid, where adults and children with tears in their eyes met the Ukrainian military and volunteers.
In turn, this noble work was duly appreciated by the top leadership of the state. The other day, the Foundation received another award from the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov — the medal "For assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine." Svitlana Prykhodko, a volunteer of the foundation, was honored with the award. As stated in the Statute of the medal, it is awarded "for a significant personal contribution and provision of comprehensive assistance to the Armed Forces and support of the fighting spirit of the defenders of state sovereignty."
In addition, the fund's coffers have a few more important awards. One of them is an award from the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, General Valery Zaluzhny, to the head and volunteers of the foundation, who help Ukrainian soldiers to get closer to victory. The head of the foundation Anzhelika Romanchikova received the honorary badge of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"You are always there. We constantly feel your care and support. "Volunteers and soldiers are an inseparable, actually family bond," the legendary general emphasized at the time.
Also, the "People's Trust Platinum Good Ukraine" Charitable Foundation was repeatedly awarded certificates of honor from all branches of government — starting with the leadership of Kherson district councils and heads of territorial communities in Odesa and ending with the command of military units and formations — for helping defenders of Ukraine, immigrants and all those in need.
The Charitable Fund's immediate plans include helping children from the families of IDPs who came from the places of hostilities and are now in Odesa, under the care of the fund. As early as April 2023, a program of psychological rehabilitation called "Childhood Revival" will be implemented.
In addition, volunteers accompanied by professional psychologists will take children left without one of their parents due to the war to the Carpathians for rehabilitation - this project is called "Ukrainian Phoenixes".
