In Honour of Vladislav Goraj: Support His Family

We are Lifeline Express, a small organisation supporting Ukraine through cultural and humanitarian projects.

Two years ago, we staged a powerful performance of Tosca in Odesa, reimagined to reflect the bravery of the Odesa Opera Theatre in wartime. The lead roles were sung by Vladislav Goraj and his wife Nadia — extraordinary artists and soloists of the Odesa Opera Theatre.

That project made us family.

While Nadia and their two young sons (11 and 13) found safety in London, Vladislav returned to Ukraine. He continued performing at the Odesa Opera and spent his time volunteering — helping others.

The only way they could reunite was when we brought them together for concerts.

Now, with broken hearts, we share that Vladislav was killed while on a volunteer mission in Sumy.

He gave everything. And now Nadia and the boys are left without a father, partner, or protector.

We are raising funds to support them — for daily needs, education, and to give them some peace in this time of grief.

Please help if you can.

Let’s honour Vladislav by caring for the family he loved so deeply.

With love and thanks,

Lifeline Express
