Heartbeat with AP is a charitable organization founded in 2014 by Ukrainian singer, composer, and public figure Anastasiia Polo. Established with a mission to serve vulnerable communities, the organization initially focused on supporting children battling cancer and later expanded its care to the Mykolaiv boarding school for children with hearing impairments. Rooted in compassion and action, Heartbeat with AP has grown into a trusted humanitarian voice dedicated to protecting dignity, fostering hope, and creating meaningful impact through community-driven initiatives.
Since the onset of the full-scale war in Ukraine in February 2022, Heartbeat with AP has significantly expanded its efforts to respond to urgent humanitarian needs. The organization has led aid initiatives for Ukrainian refugees at the Mexican border, supported the U4U program, and helped Ukrainians adapt to life in the United States while advocating for Ukraine through collaboration with American partners and organizations. Under Anastasiia Polo’s leadership, Heartbeat with AP continues to unite the Ukrainian community as a powerful force for advocacy and cultural resilience through projects such as UNBROKEN GEN and DYAKU.U, the first Ukrainian gratitude festival in the U.S.
