Biography

Irina Davidian Founder of U.T. H Relief Inc.

No matter where I go, Ukraine forever remains my motherland. My name is Irina Davidian (Kasatkina) and I was born in Odessa, Ukraine into a military family. From a young age on, I had to relocate a lot, but my heart and my soul have always been and are with Ukraine. My memories of spending many happy, carefree days during my childhood and youth carry me through the tough days that are today.

In the early 90s, I immigrated to Germany, where I successfully ran a small business and raised two sons.  My eldest son is a corporate lawyer in California and my youngest is finishing up high school in Saskatchewan. Now, my husband and I live in Canada – but my family and closest friends are still in Ukraine.

Throughout my life, wherever I was, I remained passionate about the fate of my homeland and my people. I cherish the memories I’ve had and am hurt by the destruction of the places that are so close to my heart. My mission is to help!

I founded the Charitable Relief Fund, which allows people to make a difference in the lives of my Ukrainian people and which I will continue throughout my life.
