Who we are

Hey, I’m Marc Pustelnik, a Ukrainian junior in high school who decided it was time to make a real difference in my community at the end of sophomore year. As someone who has grown up watching the struggles of people from my own home, Ukraine, I knew I had to step up. So, at sixteen, I am putting everything I have into creating UkrAid.

It has not been easy—there are countless late nights, a lot of trial and error, and more than a few times when I wondered if I could actually pull this off. But every step of the way, I was driven by the thought of helping others just like me. UkrAid isn’t just about offering tutoring or mentorship; it’s about giving back, lifting up, and creating a space where everyone feels supported.

This isn’t just a project—it’s my way of showing that no matter how young you are, you can make a difference. And with every person we help, I know we’re building something bigger than just a nonprofit. We’re building a community. Thanks for being a part of it.
