Maryna Lazorenko is a businesswoman who has created a powerful volunteer centre in Bila Tserkva. For Maryna, the war began in 2014 when her husband went to serve in the ATO zone.

With the full-scale invasion, her husband went back to war, and Maryna and like-minded people started helping. This is how the volunteer organisation "Together for Peace" was born. The team consists of local entrepreneurs who actively raise funds, find resources and deliver the necessary supplies to the frontline.

The war brought Maryna not only new challenges but also bitter losses. "I buried a lot of people. My best friends," she admits, and recalls all the boys who died at the front.
