WHO WE ARE.

“I visited Lviv to meet the Ukrainian people and look into their hearts and minds. They are the most courageous people I have ever encountered and I came back knowing this is something I needed to do. What great people. I truly want to go back and continue to help my friends."

. . . . . Bill Poland

Bill Poland has been involved since March 2022, shortly after the Russian invasion, in directing much-needed supplies of all sorts directly to the Ukrainian people. In early September, he started the Ukraine Freedom Foundation, now called the Ukraine Relief Fund.

A real estate entrepreneur, Bill is founder and President of Bay West Group, a commercial and real estate development company committed to creating value in the development of vacant or under-utilized parcels and breathing new life into existing buildings, plus significant new multi-family projects.

Bill and his foundation has had a close partnership with Roelof Quintus, who started early on a grassroots effort delivering essential supplies to help Ukrainians defend themselves and to support their many refugees. Roelof passed away earlier this year. Angelika G. has taken over and has been committed to helping support Ukraine since day one of the war.

The Ukraine Freedom Foundation also has an affiliation with Andy Kurtzig who has a San Francisco-based company, JustAnswer, with an office in Ukraine. They have over 250 employees who help connect people around the world with vetted experts and needed services, and are actively involved in helping the people of Ukraine.

Together, Bill, Roelof, Angelika, and Andy mobilized a global humanitarian network of volunteers, donors, and partners to provide the much-needed supplies to the people of Ukraine.
