Vadym

Vadym

Vadym was born into a military family. He was inspired by his father, always wanting to follow in his footsteps. From an early age, Vadym became interested in tanks, planes and weapons. He began boxing and kickboxing in preparation for his future in the military, all the while achieving significant success along the way.

When Vadym was 13, he had already begun considering his future education. Everything changed on February 24th, 2022. His family felt the full effects of the war and the attempts to bring “Russian peace” to Ukraine. An active military officer, Vadym’s father accepted the call of duty to defend his hometown from the Russian invaders and was mortally wounded. Vadym is now studying at a military academy in the United States. Although he experiences challenges due to the language barrier he faces, Vadym is determined to successfully complete his studies at the Academy and return to Ukraine after graduating.

Family’s current needs:

Arsen and Oksana

Oksana and Arsen Korolchuk lost their breadwinner father, Volodymyr, in the war, while their mother, Svitlana, is seriously ill. The family is forced to live in an unfinished house.

Svitlana worked all her life with her husband to build their own home. Their dream came true when they bought a house in Volyn and moved there with their children. With their father’s skilled hands, he managed to renovate the living room and the bathroom. But when the russian war broke out, Volodymyr was among those who died as a hero, leaving behind an unfinished home. 

Now, Svitlana is raising Oksana and Arsen on her own. Due to serious health problems and lack of money, she cannot afford to continue with the house renovations. After her first operation, she miraculously started walking, and recently underwent another operation. Currently, the Korolchuk family lives in an unfinished house, where they struggle to cook in the bathroom and sleep in the same living room.

The fund helped:

  • The family received priority financial support
  • The children received gifts from the Foundation on Children's Day.
  • Daughter Oksana received a cash gift on her birthday.
  • Son Arsen will receive a tablet in the coming days.
