his story

Since 2014, a Ukrainian veteran has devoted his life to serving others.

After years of military service defending his country, he continued serving his community by coaching children and youth, organizing sports tournaments, building playgrounds, and creating safe places where young people could grow, heal, and believe in the future.

Ihor is a lifelong football coach and member of the Kherson Regional Football Federation, where he organized tournaments for children, built playgrounds, and created safe spaces for youth. Now he needs someone to help him.

Today, he is facing end-stage kidney failure and urgently needs a living kidney donor.

A living kidney donation could give him 15–20 more healthy years — years he hopes to dedicate to rebuilding his life, supporting children, and continuing to serve others.
