"The City Within Each of Us"
Launched on: 02.06.2026

The first project implemented by NGO "Create Dobropillia" was creating the free space RePost, we gathered 69 people who invested in our project and purchased premises, which became independent and open to all community residents.

Unfortunately, the war destroyed our plans for the future, the premises were destroyed, but we want to resume our activities in peaceful Dobropillia and do everything so that most community residents return home.

We're used to our city being spoken of in numbers: tons of coal, dates of shelling, distance to the front. But is this the real Dobropillia?

The real city is the smell of fresh baking from a neighbor's window. It's the stories grandfathers told after a mine shift. It's the first date by the fountain, secret paths between waste heaps, and special words that only "ours" understand. These stories won't be written in history textbooks, but without them we'll lose a part of ourselves.

Our team NGO "Create Dobropillia" is launching the project "The City Within Each of Us". We want to collect your brightest memories: funny incidents, family legends, stories about favorite places and traditions of our city. Journalists and writers will transform your sincere words into artistic works, which we'll publish on the Arkush platform. https://arkush.net/book/44889

Why do we need your support?

For this "city diary" to become reality, we need to pay for a professional team's work:

project manager - ensures team synergy, deadline control and overall coordination.

accountant - financial foundation and stability guarantor, ensures transparency and legality of all processes.

literary editor - keeper of style and warmth. Transforms conversational stories into artistic, but sincere and "living" words.

journalist - main researcher of human souls. He extracts those very "brightest memories" and funny incidents.

content manager - project voice in information space, attracts audience and creates a warm community around the project.

Your donation is:

  1. Your city's voice, which thousands will hear.
  2. Identity support: we'll prove Dobropillia is not a "war zone," but a warm, living and unbreakable community.
  3. Memory: we'll preserve what they try to destroy.

Let's preserve Dobropillia's soul together. Every hryvnia is another line in the great book of our life.
