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.

Bas Godska

Bas was born in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

He founded a Dutch fund helping Eastern tech entrepreneurs worldwide. After bookending his corporate career in Europe, he worked, lived and invested in CIS countries for over 10 years. A fluent speaker of Russian (and currently working on improving his Ukrainian), Bas normally spends quite some time in Ukraine. When the war started, he was on a business trip to Amsterdam. He has now put everything on hold to help Ukraine.

In charge of fundraising, company donations, operational scaling.

Meet our team. It is organically growing and now consists of 15 volunteers contributing in various ways, and over 100 Guardian Angels (volunteers) for our patients in The Netherlands
