In 2022 and 2023, we worked with the "Patriotic Cats" ("Котики-Патріотики") organization, founded by Iryna Salikhova from Kherson. Iryna, a journalist and PR specialist, started this project to assist Kherson residents in need. We’ve known each other personally for many years. We regularly sent her funds, and she consistently reported on how they were used.

Her aid focused on providing medicine for adults and children, hygiene products, and baby food. These items were critically needed, especially during the occupation when no green corridors were available. Iryna and her associates transported these supplies through russian checkpoints, particularly for those suffering from allergies, asthma, and cancer. They also prepared food packages for women, children, and the elderly. This was a significant effort and a great help. Later, Iryna moved to Kyiv, her project evolved, and we ceased our collaboration

Since March 2022, we have been working with the volunteer organization "The Headquarters of Kind Deeds" ("Добро Штаб") led by Yuliia Kiselova. Yuliia owns a café in Kherson and is a photographer. We've known her for many years as well. She transformed her café into a volunteer hub, constantly providing help to local residents. Knowing her dedication, I began donating money to her. All Kherson residents know her and come to her for humanitarian aid, food packages, and supplies for nearby villages. For two consecutive winters, we have ordered portable cast-iron stoves, which Yuliia distributed to military personnel and those who lost their homes and were living in small sheds.

We also collaborate with Kherson journalist Ivan Antypenko, who works directly with Kherson military units. We regularly donate drones, spare parts, vehicle repairs, winter sleeping bags, special heaters, and other essential items.

We continue to support the city of Kherson, which had a population of 300,000 people and is under constant shelling. Sadly, half of the city has been destroyed by the russian army, but people continue to live there. They have nowhere to go, and many don't want to leave their homes or elderly relatives who are not mobile. We continue to help because Inna herself is from the Kherson region. Her hometown and her father are still under occupation, making it crucial for her to assist and support until the war ends. After the war, we plan to further develop our project to help rebuild the city and region.
