While the Defenders of “Azovstal” and Mariupol kept their defense, Ukraine and the whole world followed the news and prayed for their courage.
Our team is supporting one of these heroes. This Defender was seriously injured during the battle of the Azovstal and also was held in captivity as a prisoner of war. After his return, he underwent several critical surgeries to fix his various injuries and still struggles with his eyesight still today. Prior to February 2022, he previously worked at the "Azovstal" plant.
For his next chapter, this Defender wanted to re-train as an IT-specialist. Our team helped this hero to navigate various veteran-related issues around post-employment and funded his front-end developer programming course and an English language course. We continue to work with employers to help this hero find a job in the IT space after he completes his training.
