For Margo
A volunteer initiative in memory of Marharyta Polovinko.
A volunteer initiative in memory of Marharyta Polovinko.
Toyota Hilux for FPV assault team. Our first car delivery was a success.
With help of several people, it was financed, purchased in the UK, transported to Ukraine, painted and handed over.
Off-road SUV to be converted to casevac vehicle.
Unmanned Ground Vehicle for evacuation.
Thermal reconnaissance drone.
First drone batteries delivered.
First drone thermal cameras delivered.
After the war began, Marharyta volunteered, first rescuing people and animals, then assisting foreign medical teams as a translator. Eventually, she became a battlefield medic herself and ultimately joined the 3rd Assault Brigade as an FPV drone pilot.
Marharyta was a true artist. She believed that real art could not be made for money. Her works, including her most well-known drawings made with her own blood, stand as a testament to the events in Ukraine, such as the massacre in Bucha. Her lesser-known, more subtle drawings are perhaps even more powerful, inspired by what she witnessed firsthand as a combat medic: angelic boys with missing limbs, faces contorted with pain and fear.
In November 2025, her art will be exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw.

While still a volunteer, Marharyta taught art remotely, which is how we came to know her.
She never asked for anything for herself, but in March 2025, she reached out for help on behalf of her unit due to a shortage of drones. The first shipment we sent never made it to her.
On April 5 2025, she was killed in action during a combat mission.
We continue what we began when Margo was still with us, supporting her people fighting for freedom.
Directly financed. An individual or small group covers the full cost of a chosen item, such as a vehicle or a set of drone batteries.
Directly purchased. A volunteer buyer receives the funds and places an order with a trusted supplier we have identified.
Directly delivered. The order goes straight to the unit we personally know, ensuring it reaches the people who need it most.

Oleksandr Matsievskyi was Ukrainian soldier captured in December 2022 during battle of Bakhmut. A video showed him smoking a cigarette and saying "Slava Ukraini" before being shot by Russian soldiers.
"I will send you my art, but it is not of a kind that I'm teaching you here"
Marharyta, private conversation
"Extremely gritty, very visceral... When you are dragging bodies out, pulling out people without limbs, you see where blood comes from"
Grinch, American combat medic who was serving along Marharyta about her art
"I am closer to the Russians than you would expect"

"In any case, just make sure they don't lose my art, that's one thing that would piss me off" (about approaching a major museum to display Margo's art)
Marharyta, private conversation
"Significance of originals is that they have life of their own, they get old, they can be damaged or destroyed, they die eventually"
