This is the story about Lianne who 10 days ago rented a van to drive down to the Ukrainian border to help in any way she could. 72 hours later she found herself driving back with 8 women and children who had fled the Russian invasion of their homes. As we speak, these people are being housed in her friends' extra rooms as she prepares housing for new arrivals. Lianne does not wait for things to get better, she acts the right away. And for these 8 people she has made all the difference; a real force of nature.
