Since February of 2022, the volunteers of “That Day” have worked tirelessly to leverage their skills, creativity, resources, and connections on behalf of Ukraine’s defenders.

“That Day”s projects have spanned every aspect of dual-use and humanitarian aid, from building rechargeable battery packs for field operations, to express-delivering gas masks to troops beyond the official front lines, to rescuing civilians from flooded villages, to equipping forward-area surgeons with lifesaving medications and custom-built medical equipment.

“That Day” has partnered with A2U’s volunteers since March of 2022 to resource “That Day”s operations and operators, keeping them in the field and their supported units in the fight.

TCAG has partnered with A2U’s volunteers since April of 2022, sharing contacts and supporting training programs for new and experienced Ukrainian military units.

Svitlana is a visual artist living in Vavarivka, Ukraine. She is still well-known for a series of works she did in 2014 showing familiar landmarks in Mykolaiv envisioned as bold line drawings with accents of blue and yellow, the colors of Ukrainian independence and the 2014 Maidan national Revolution of Dignity.

By the end of 2021, Svitlana was professionally successful, able to pay her bills through a mix of teaching and private commissions, with enough left over to rent the perfect space for an art studio, with high ceilings, abundant natural light, and a reasonable distance between her supervisory cats and her artworks..

Everything changed at the full-scale russian invasion in 2022.  Like many Ukrainians, Svitlana’s own work after the invasion was overshadowed by almost full-time fundraising for soldiers and military units.  She gave up her studio, moved into a tiny apartment, and increased her cat supervision threefold.  She continues to make artworks daily, although her routine now includes frequent feline taste-testing of various works in progress.

Svitlana partners with A2U’s Community Support program to offer no-cost two-dimensional art and art therapy workshops for military families and civilians affected by the war in the Mykolaiv and Kherson regions. Select works by Svitlana are also available as donor engagement materials for A2U’s most generous supporters.
