In the heart of Minnesota, a 24-year old medical student at the University of Minnesota is responding to the global echo of desperation from his home country, Ukraine, in a dignified manner. Born in Ukraine and having moved to the U.S. at six years old, the young Sergei Karachnits kept close his roots. With the intensifying conflict and Ukraine taking center stage, his pride in his origins amplified.
Resounding cries for help from his homeland were too potent to disregard. Sergei was moved by the sight of volunteers extending their aid, which ignited a determination within him to contribute actively in easing the hardship.
