At dawn on February 24, 2022, our lives changed forever. The hostile aggression of russia has become a real challenge for our people. But the tragedy taught us to be strong and united to protect our country. At the time when our cities suffered from enemy shelling by the occupiers, and Chernihiv, which is the hometown of some members of the foundation, was cut off from the rest of Ukraine, we realized that we needed to act. Without delay, we raised money to purchase food for those who needed help, as a humanitarian catastrophe was beginning to grow in the city. And then we saw that many people want to help and support those who are nearby. Therefore, we decided to combine our efforts, our experience, and our passion and created a Charitable Foundation - Volunteer Association "Commonwealth-22"! Together we are able to implement larger projects and help the military and civilians. Owing to our legal registration, we can be more transparent in our activities and attract more resources for assistance, including from abroad. We invite everyone who wants to help our defenders and our people to join our common cause. Together we can do more and help those who need it most.
