Alright friends, who am I to miss an opportunity like this? 🙂

Today I’m launching a fundraiser together with Brighter Ukraine Foundation (where I volunteer):
$2400 for my 24th birthday!

We’re raising funds for warm winter gear for our soldiers and partially for drones. A thermal Mavic — which is needed urgently — costs around $5K, so this fundraiser will hopefully cover part of it. But everything is in our hands;)

For those seeing me for the first time — I’m Marichka. A Ukrainian activist on Capitol Hill, communications specialist, and reporter. I advocate for Ukraine, organize fundraisers for our army and humanitarian needs, host cultural events, create content, and share Ukrainian stories. Of course, I do a lot of street demonstrations too.

In just my second year living in the U.S., I’ve already managed to connect with Sting, make Metallica post bandura video, visit 46 states …
All this to say: nothing is impossible 💛💙

When we close the fundraiser, I’ll record a video answering all your questions in the comments (if you’l have some — IG:)

About Brighter Ukraine

We provide humanitarian aid, medical supplies, clothing and toys to refugees, women, and children that are directly affected by the war in Ukraine. Additionally, we supply the Ukrainian frontline defenders and supporters with necessary medical supplies and protective tactical equipment to save their lives while protecting their families and country. We are looking toward the future of a Brighter Ukraine through the physical rebuilding of cities and community while sharing the beautiful Ukrainian culture. We feel it is important to create cultural experiences within our monthly events to keep the Ukrainian culture alive among Ukrainians in the United States and to enrich the lives of Americans by connecting them with the Ukrainian community and sharing art, music, and tradition.
