HELP ME BRING AID TO UKRAINE
I'm heading with the LHI team to Ukraine in January, 2025 to photograph many of our projects there and the beneficiaries they support. Sharing the stories of real people affected by this war is my goal. But I don’t want to go empty-handed. I’d love to bring much needed aid to those who need it most. It’s logistically not possible for me to bring supplies in my suitcase, but I can personally assure that any monetary donation you make here will go to the people of greatest need throughout Ukraine this winter. Many are without power and struggling to secure basic needs all while the real and ever present threat of war surrounds them.

In the image above, she was volunteering with Hayley on the trip to Lesvos, Greece that inspired Hayley to start LHI! Many of the touching photos you see on the LHI website were shot by Shannon.
Shannon accompanied Hayley and the LHI team to Ukraine in February, 2024 to make site visits to our programs throughout the country where the war is still ongoing. These images capture the many faces and places of both our Ukrainian partners in carrying out the relief work and the beneficiaries we support.
