Twelve years of showing up.
Natalka was a businesswoman. In 2014 she sold her restaurant and started driving aid east, and she never stopped.
Most of what Heart of the World Ukraine does runs on relationships she has built in person, one delivery at a time. That network is how help reaches the right hands.
Read Natalka’s story“By helping the next person, by helping people, we don’t become heroes. We just become normal.”
Where your gift goes.
Five programs. Every dollar you give goes to one of them.
Civilian aid
Food, clothing, hygiene supplies, and winter kits hand-delivered to communities cut off by the war — coordinated through local partners we know personally.
A delivery reaches a doorstep Generators
Portable and standby generators for hospitals, clinics, schools, and homes left without power. Sized to the site, fueled and maintained on the ground.
A portable generator, just unloaded Vehicles
4×4 pickups, vans, and ambulances — sourced abroad, repaired, plated, and driven east for evacuations and aid logistics. Re-deployed for as long as they run.
Unloading the van Medical supplies
Tourniquets, hemostatic gauze, IV kits, and field surgical sets sourced internationally and delivered straight to frontline clinics and stabilization points.
Natalka hands over medicine Rehabilitation programs
Specialized, evidence-based recovery for veterans and their families — multi-day retreats, trauma-informed yoga, and art therapy facilitated by trained practitioners.
She photographs the work herself.
The Mad Crewis Natalka’s photo book: 103 photographs of the people, places and moments from her years on the road.
A weekly dispatch from Natalka.
Coming soon: a two-minute update each week on what arrived, who received it and what’s needed next. It will be presented by an AI avatar of Natalka, scripted from her field notes and always labelled as AI.
For foundations and companies.
Some of what Natalka wants to build needs more than individual gifts: vehicles for evacuation and logistics, standby power for clinics and schools, and rehabilitation retreats for veterans and their families.
