Non-governmental organization - the member of TAPS International, established in the USA to support all those grieving the death of a loved one in defense of freedom. Today we are also a big Dnipro Volunteer Coordination Center.
Our task is to provide psychological support for families suffering the loss of Heroes, to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Territorial Defense forces, refugees and to cover medical needs.
TAPS-Ukraine NGO was created in 2018. In 2019 TAPS Ukraine, TAPS USA and the Dnipro City Council signed a tripartite declaration of intent. It provides a common vision of development and mutual support for the fallen Heroes of Ukraine families. TAPS-Ukraine NGO TAPS-Ukraine has already held several events aimed at providing psychological support to families experiencing the loss of loved ones in the war. February 24th, 2022 - the day, when our activity became wider. Due to military escalation on the territory of Ukraine, the organization management made the decision to bring together everyone willing to influence the humanitarian situation in the country and unite their efforts within the Dnipro Volunteer Coordination Center.
The Dnipro Volunteer Coordination Center became one more type of organization activity. Today it is the community of hundreds of indifferent citizens who created the biggest volunteer organization in the region by implementing their professional skills, and knowledge and learning new ones.
TAPS-Ukraine main aim is to provide psychological and social support to the families suffering the loss of Heroes of Ukraine, to cover humanitarian and military needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Territorial Defense divisions to provide a place for living for temporarily displaced people from the territory of Kharkiv, Donetsk, Lugansk and Kyiv regions, to ensure that injured soldiers receive everything they need in local military hospitals and clinics on the frontline. We have established cooperation with a number of small and medium businesses, trademarks, and commercial organizations to ensure the humanitarian needs of the city.
Що таке військова втрата? Як жити далі мамі або дружині, брату, сестрі або дитині, коли хтось із найближчих більше не вийшов на зв’язок? І більше не вийде. Бо є офіційні дані про їхню загибель. І навіть після свідоцтва про смерть рідні вірять, що він або вона ще повернуться. Як вийти з відчаю, темного, як ніч, і холодного, як ранок зими? Що може бути світлом у такому разі?
Ми спробували ввести глядачів у світ війни в Україні через документальні кадри широкомасштабного вторгнення росії в Україну після 24 лютого 2022 з різних джерел і з власної хроніки.
Постановочні кадри - це колективнй образ жінки-України, яка опинилася на межі відчаю після смерті близької людини на війні і яка, попри все, починає жити знову…
Наша стрічка не тільки про боротьбу за Свободу України; вона розповідає про боротьбу людини за свою власну свободу, попри горе й відчай через військову втрату. Саме боротьба дозволить згодом знову відчувати смак життя повною мірою - але з пам'яттю про найдорожчу людину.
БОРОТЬБА ЗА СВОБОДУ. ТАПС-УКРАЇНА - це також екскурс у шлях громадської організації «Тапс-Україна» та її учасників і учасниць із 2018 року, яка підтримує родини загиблих Героїв України, що зазнали втрати ще після 2014 року. Адже саме в 2014-му почалася російська агресія, що спочатку спричинила окупацію півострова Крим, а далі - багатьох міст у Луганській і Донецькій областях.
Катерина Чижик, одна з учасниць громадської організації, надихнула команду нашого продакшну ідеєю, а TAPS-Ukraine підтримав. Кожна наша героїня знайшла в собі сили й розповіла власну історію.

Ми - команда професіоналів, які мають досвід у організацї заходів, відео- та фотозйомках, написанні статей та сценаріїв, а також - у військовому волонтерстві, яке вилилось у створення потужного медіа-центру Координаційного Штабу волонтерів Дніпра 24 лютого 2022 року. Ми плануємо й далі знімати хроніки про військових та волонтерів на війні, яка точно приведе нас до Перемоги України.
Bonnie Carroll founded the TAPS (Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors) organization in 1994 after her husband Tom Carroll, the general, died in a plane crash in Alaska.
