She initiated the fund "Starving for Color" with her exhibit of black & white photos of orphaned and abandoned children of Lviv, in October 2002 at the Ukrainian National Museum in Chicago, Illinois. Through the auspices of Sts. Volodymyr and Olha Parish and account was opened for the purchase of infant formula to nourish the infant orphans.
