Their Future Cannot WaitDear Friends, I WILL is deeply personal to me. Twenty-four years ago, my father had a simple dream: to open doors for children who might never otherwise have the chance to discover what they could achieve. I wish he could see the thousands of children whose lives his vision has touched, thanks to your generosity. Every year, on his birthday, October 23, I reach out to you to honour his legacy and continue what he started. Today, with war taking away so much of their childhood, this mission means more to me than ever. I want to make sure these children do not lose their opportunities along with everything else they have lost. And I cannot do it without your support. Even during war, children continue to dream. Because of you, I WILL Association continues to bring programming and robotics education to children across Ukraine. | At our I WILL Robotics Club in Mykolaiv, approximately 80% of the children have been displaced by the war, leaving their homes elsewhere in Ukraine. At I WILL, they have found a place to learn, create, and experience moments of normal childhood, despite shelling, air raid alerts, and prolonged power outages. |
War should not take away their future. Meet the Children Behind I WILLSee the lasting impact of your support. |
Champions Against the OddsWhen power outages left their classroom in darkness, our robotics team continued preparing for competitions by the light of battery-powered garden lamps. In June 2026, our robotics team became Champions of Ukraine, finishing first among 25 finalist teams at the national FIRST LEGO League championship in Kyiv. Some team members have been part of I WILL for nearly a decade, starting their journey at just six years old. See What You Made Possible in 2026From robotics achievements to new learning opportunities, discover what your generosity helped make possible. |
We cannot stop the war. But together, we can make sure it does not stop their future. Give their dreams a chance to grow. 💛 Our 2027 fundraising goal: CAD $20,000 Your gift helps keep classes running and provides the tools and opportunities children need to learn, grow, and thrive. |
With gratitude, Tatiana & the I WILL Team One more way you can help: Share our story.
