Under attack from Russian forces, Ukrainians must rely on one another. Here, three brave local people share their stories of helping their communities as a doctor, a caring neighbor, and an urban planner. They are connecting to their life purpose in order to face immense challenges.
On the first day of the war, Khrystyna heard from her mother, who said, “It seems the city is being bombed.” A few hours later, as she was grappling with her own fear and panic, Ksenyia decided to embrace her medical background. Now, she is working to supply people in Kharkiv with free medicine and medical assistance as well as food and transportation.
At first, Khrystyna turned to her personal network for assistance. Just days later, with the help of social media, she succeeded in spreading the word far beyond her friends and colleagues. “Now everyone is helping each other, and that’s the way it should be,” she says. “Of course, people are also getting more cautious, but many are ready to risk their lives to provide other people with medicine and food.
“I see people helping each other on a regular basis, even though it is stressful,” says Oleksandr. “Our world and our lives will never be the same again, but everyone is patient and understanding with each other.” “When I moved into my house two years ago, I didn’t even talk to most of my neighbors,” Vasyl says. “We were in the midst of the pandemic, so it definitely wasn’t the best time for housewarming parties. The extent of my involvement in the community was limited to online chats about trash disposal.”
