Support and Care for Border Guard Veterans — Unity Across Communities
During her visit to Ukraine, Liliya Podkopayeva, Olympic champion and founder of the Health of Generations Foundation, together with Tetiana Lendiel, Honorary Consul of Ukraine in Atlanta, visited a hospital where wounded border guards are undergoing rehabilitation.
The purpose of the visit was to share care, gratitude, and support. The team brought essential items — vitamins, fruit, and hygiene supplies — and most importantly, spent time with those recovering. Sometimes presence, conversation, and attention can mean more than anything else.
A particularly moving moment came when children from the Ukrainian School of Atlanta sent their drawings filled with messages of peace and gratitude. In return, the soldiers shared artworks created during art therapy — each piece reflecting resilience and inner strength.
The initiative was made possible thanks to the Health of Generations Foundation, the Ukrainian diaspora in the United States — Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (Georgia Branch) and Dancing Stars for Humanity.
Such moments unite people across generations and continents, reminding us that shared compassion helps preserve humanity and hope even in the most challenging times.
