Founder of "Angels of Ukraine," a nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles. Advocacy of the American Coalition for Ukraine. Mother of two and proud sister of a veteran who has been fighting for Ukrainian freedom since 2014, and also a California Licensed Massage Therapist. 

At the age of 17, she immigrated to the United States from Ukraine with her mother, Svitlana Veljanovski, facing numerous challenges along the way. Despite these difficulties, by the age of 20, she found success as a runway model in Los Angeles and New York, fulfilling her dreams. In 2013, she achieved the title of International Supermodel and received the Global Top Model Award in 2018. Her work has graced the covers of magazines and novels, and she was living what many would call the American Dream.
 

However, her journey took a profound turn when the war broke out in Ukraine. When her mother and brother was in Ukraine, and her brother was  in critical condition, she felt compelled to act. Thus, "Angels of Ukraine" was born out of a deep sense of duty to her homeland. Initially focused on ensuring the safety of her family and volunteering, she soon expanded her efforts to organizing fundraisers in Los Angeles and providing aid to Ukraine: orphanages, the elderly, children who lost their parents and homes, and animals in shelters. Despite the enormity of the task, she found unwavering support from incredible individuals who became integral parts of the Angels of Ukraine family.

 

Together with her dedicated team, she is committed to making a difference, not just during the conflict but long after peace is restored.

 

Angelica deeply grateful to everyone who has supported and continuing supporting Angels of Ukraine .
