Six-year-old Alisa Kulzhynska isn’t the only child disfigured during the 15-month war that Russia is waging against Ukraine. But her journey to recovery is unique.
In Alisa’s case, it was a mortar attack that demolished her family apartment, and a piece of shrapnel that took out her eye.
But while other child victims of the 15-month Russia-Ukraine war have found help from international doctors traveling to the battlefield, Kulzhynska’s route was different. She found healing in an unusual way: an American benefactor brought her to the United States, and gave her a new eye.
