Help Baron bij het bouwen van een retraite voor veteranen!

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Oleg Magdych.

I wear many hats in life—I am a pastor, a combat medic, a father, a biker, a dog lover, and most importantly, I am Ukrainian.

In 2022, when my country faced the horrors of war, I joined a volunteer territorial defense unit to protect my family, my homeland, and our freedom.

My wife, a dedicated military psychologist, works tirelessly with veterans and their families, helping them navigate the challenges of returning to civilian life. She currently supports over 120 families through a veteran assistance program she coordinates.

Together, we have a dream. We want to create a sanctuary in the Carpathian Mountains—a place where veterans and their loved ones can find peace, healing, and renewal.

We’ve named this retreat "SKRAY", which means "Edge" in Ukrainian, symbolizing a tranquil haven far from the chaos of war.

The first cabin is nearly complete, but it still requires internal finishing. Our vision doesn’t stop there—we aim to build a second cabin to officially launch our retreat center for veterans and their families by 2025.

As a veteran myself, I know the immense value of a quiet refuge—a place where you can escape the constant air-raid sirens, missile threats, and the unrelenting stress of war. "SKRAY" will offer this much-needed respite, along with a supportive environment to help rebuild lives and relationships.

This is where you can make a difference.

Your support will help us:

Complete the interior work on the first cabin.
Build a second cabin to expand the retreat.
Provide veterans and their families with a place to heal, recover, and reconnect.

Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to opening the doors of "SKRAY" to those who need it most. Together, we can create a space that offers hope and renewal to the brave men and women who have sacrificed so much.

Please consider donating to this cause today. Your kindness and generosity will leave a lasting impact on the lives of countless veterans and their families.

Thank you for standing with us!

The budget for building 1 cabin is $27.000.

That's the amount we are looking to raise in order to build 2nd cabin and launch the project.
