our team

People who work every day to bring hope back to children.

We are a team of educators, psychologists, volunteers, and creative people who have come together for one goal: to help children dream again. Each of us contributes our knowledge, experience, and warmth to create a space where children's dreams become reality.
Christina Sagonowsky
Project founder
I deeply believe in dreams and the initiative to make dreams come true!
A little about me:
I am a Ukrainian-American daughter of World War II refugees. I was born in the United States and live in San Francisco, California. After the full-scale Russian invasion, I began having dreams that my Ukrainian family was calling me for help, but who were they? And where? In searching for my long-lost Ukrainian family, I began to help others in Ukraine. My greatest dream is for Ukrainian children to start dreaming again, and I would like to fulfill their greatest dream... to end the war!
