Olha is the head of a district in the Zhytomyr region. On February 24, 2022, she woke up to a phone call from her daughter. Panic and fear immediately took over — most of all, fear for her child. But already at 7 a.m., Olha received a call from the military enlistment office, and as the head of the community, she understood: she had to act. In the first days, she organized checkpoints and helped with mobilization. The community took in displaced people from Borodianka and Makariv — more than 150 people within a week, 50 of them children. Later, volunteer initiatives began: they gathered vegetables and prepared homemade food for the front. Women from the community also constantly weave camouflage nets, coming voluntarily after work or from their fields.
