Providing medical care for children with disabilities as well as food and clothing for families that live in extreme poverty. After Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Yuriy's work surged in importance.

They also discuss the hard work of minimizing overhead costs at a nonprofit and Yuriy's deep appreciation for the people still living in Ukraine.
