In August 2022, Mac Hughes traveled from Canada to Ukraine with his father to support Ukrainians through volunteering. They settled in Kharkiv, where they founded HUGS, a volunteer organization dedicated to helping local residents affected by the war.
In 2025, Mac made the courageous decision to join the Ukrainian army and stand against the occupiers. Just a few months later, he suffered severe injuries when a drone strike hit the vehicle he was in. Trapped beneath the burning car, Mac miraculously managed to escape. He sustained 30% burns to his body and is now undergoing recovery.
The community is rallying around Mac and supporting him for costs associated with his recovery, support and reequipping.
