STOP WAR IN UKRAINE

On February 24th, the Russian Federation started a full-scale war against our peaceful country Ukraine. Since then our charitable foundation has been striving to acquire hemostatic drugs and dressings, body armor and helmets for our defenders. We also provide humanitarian assistance to the civilians, particularly those who are on the verge of survival today: single mothers, elderly lonely people, bedridden and disabled children. We supply them with food and baby food, diapers, medicines and hygiene items. However, we realize that more and more civilians are suffering due to the Russian military invasion while we are running out of the necessary goods in the country. We are no longer able to cope with this humanitarian crisis on our own and we are appealing to the whole world for help!

Charitable Foundation “Сorporation of Monsters” was founded by Kateryna Nozhevnikova. It was officially registered in 2017, although it launched its activities much earlier — in 2014, when the war with the Russian occupants in the east of Ukraine began. At that time, being a volunteer organization, “Corporation of Monsters” actively assisted internally displaced people of Donbas.

In 2021 Kateryna was awarded the Order of Princess Olha (Third Class).

The award was presented by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky during celebrations on the occasion of the International Volunteer Day. She also ranked among 100 most influential women of Ukraine according to the Focus magazine the same year.

The main activities of the fund are:

— providing medical assistance;

— supporting hospitals (purchasing of new equipment and renovation of medical wards);

— supplying lonely elderly people of Odesa with food;

— assistance to graduates of orphanages;

— providing humanitarian aid to people in difficult circumstances. 

In July 2019, the charitable foundation “Corporation of Monsters” became a full owner of the castle on French Boulevard (former Chuvyryn health resort or Dacha Antara) in Odesa. We believe that this place may become an important charity and social projects center. We invite all the concerned people and organizations to join the public discussion. We can’t do it without your help. Only together we will be able to create the first charity center in the city’s history.

This project was created during the Covid-19 pandemic due to the critical lack of oxygen concentrators. As long as lots of patients with Covid-19 needed oxygen therapy while the city and the hospitals could not cope with the number of severely ill patients, our foundation decided to purchase oxygen concentrators.

The project was launched in March 2020 and has been operating till now. Over 5,000 (five thousand) oxygen-dependent people have been assisted during the pandemic. Mainly, they are residents of the city of Odesa and Odesa region, but the aid was also provided to citizens from other regions of Ukraine.

At that time it seemed to all of us that Covid-19 was the enemy which we were not ready to fight. However, we managed to get united. We were looking forward to the «step back» of the invisible force. We were dreaming about returning to normal life – to live without fear, to meet friends, to travel and so on. But we didn’t go like that. What happened was something that we could not have imagined even in the worst nightmare. A real enemy and murderer has come to our land. Putin and his army have been destroying our cities and towns every day! They are killing our men, women, children and destroying our infrastructure right now. They are killing hope… But we stay strong and do not give up!

Please, help us.

We wish you all a peaceful sky above your heads.

Glory to Ukraine!
