Since the very beginning of the war, Mark’s father Denis, a soldier that took arms to protect his family and his country, wrote apologetic letters to his son about not being able to spend time with him. He would write notes for his family on his cellphone while fighting amongst the shelling on the front lines. And dreamed of one day hearing his only son and child speak, but unfortunately it was not to be. Denis was killed on the battlefield by enemy artillery fire, though through his heroic actions managed to save his wounded comrade before passing away. Though his phone was damaged by shrapnel, his grieving widow was able to repair her husband’s precious war memoirs and the notes he had written for his loved ones. Although Mark is still very young, the Fund believes that the actions his brave father took have sown the seeds of change and will not be forgotten. Not by Mark and not by the whole of Ukraine.
