In June 2022, Alisa simply invited children from small neighbourhoods to paint pictures together. The group started with two young girls, then expanded to twenty boys and girls, aging from four years old to fourteen. This group is dedicated to making art together during the pains of war and to encourage the Ukrainian defenders on the frontlines.

November 2023, Alisa expanded her audience to single mothers who lost their husbands due to the war. Together, they also continue to create art as a therapy to bring healing and encourage community.
