Bringing People Together to Make a Difference

Through art, food, and shared experiences, we are building a compassionate community dedicated to supporting children with disabilities in Ukraine.

Our story

I was born and raised in Ukraine, where I was fortunate to grow up in a Waldorf school—an environment that nurtured creativity, empathy, and a deep understanding of the world’s beauty. But it also opened my eyes to the struggles of those around me, particularly children living with physical disabilities. During my time at school, I had the opportunity to volunteer with these incredible kids, an experience that left a lasting impact on me.

After moving to Canada, years passed, but the desire to help never faded. Eventually, I found the strength and clarity to take action—to reconnect with my roots and support children in Ukraine who continue to face immense challenges. That’s how the idea for this non-profit was born.

Given my lifelong passion for hospitality and deep love for the arts, I knew that a charity dinner would be the perfect way to bring people together for a meaningful cause. Food and art have always been my forms of expression—hospitality has been my career, and I truly believe my mission in life is to feed people, not just physically, but also emotionally, through shared experiences and connection.

This non-profit is my way of using the strengths I’ve developed over the years—creating unforgettable dining experiences, curating artistic expression, and bringing people together—to make a real impact. Art and hospitality are universal languages, and through them, we can inspire generosity, foster connection, and change lives.

At the heart of our mission is the belief that everyone has a role to play in creating a more compassionate world. Whether through cooking, painting, volunteering, or donating, we all have something valuable to give. And when we come together, we can turn that collective effort into real, tangible support for children who need it the most.

This is just the beginning of our journey. Through each event, each meal, and each act of kindness, we are building a community dedicated to making a difference—one plate, one brushstroke, and one child at a time.
