Yana
Yana’s family lived in Kharkiv in the northeast of Ukraine. Her mother raised Yana and her two siblings alone after her father passed away three years ago. During the full-scale war a Russian rocket hit the family’s home directly – killing everyone inside except Yana.
Yana survived only due to being in another room at the time of impact. In one moment, she lost everything. Yana currently lives with her aunt, whom she asks to call “mom,” and spends every evening reminiscing about her mom and siblings.
