Lana Nyland moved to Ukraine in 2003 to pursue her passion for dance. But when war came, she found a new mission—helping those on the frontlines survive. As the founder of Ukrainian Patriot, she leads efforts to provide humanitarian aid, medical supplies, psychological support, and essential equipment to soldiers and civilians in Ukraine’s hardest-hit regions. Her story is one of resilience, courage, and unwavering dedication to the people of Ukraine.
"Heroes Among Us" highlights the inspiring stories of international volunteers in Ukraine, who, amid Russia's aggression, are making a significant impact through their dedication to humanitarian aid, medical support, education, and rebuilding efforts. This project celebrates their courage and global solidarity in the face of crisis."
