Kseniya and Bas

Kseniya Negrutsa-Godska

Kseniya was born in Odesa, Ukraine.

She was supposed to be on the last flight back to Ukraine, but it got canceled. Before the war, she lived on the countryside just below Kyiv, about a 10 minute drive from the now heavily bombarded Vasylkov Airport. Kseniya used to organise international IT-conferences and film festivals. She runs an ad agency but has dropped everything to focus 100% of her efforts on helping refugees from our HQ in Amsterdam 24/7.
In charge of general management, medical treatment organisation for Ukrainians in The Netherlands, donations & partnerships.

He has now put everything on hold to help Ukraine.
