David Beckham Lends Instagram to Ukrainian Doctor in Kharkiv to Highlight Life-Saving Efforts
Beckham, 46, announced on Sunday he'd be "handing over my social channels to Iryna, the Head of the Regional Perinatal Centre in Kharkiv, Ukraine, where she is helping mothers give birth."
Explained the retired soccer player, "Head over to my story highlights to learn more about the amazing work Iryna and health workers like her are doing to save lives in Ukraine. Please give what you can to support @UNICEF and people like Iryna using the donation link in my bio."
In the videos, Iryna — who was not identified by her last name — explains that normally, "in peacetime," she's the "head of Kharkiv's regional perinatal center and a child anesthesiologist."
Since the start of Russia's attack on Ukraine in late February, Iryna explains in later Instagram Story posts, her responsibilities have expanded: "I unload cargo, I work on logistics and I offer emotional support david beckham biography for kids."
In the comments of Beckham's feed post, humanitarian agency UNICEF — who has been working with the former athlete to raise funds for Ukraine — commented, "Thank you @davidbeckham for handing over your account, to Iryna for your heroic work, and to everyone helping children with a donation. "
