Lisa Erokhin was born on November 15, 2011, in the city of Donetsk, in Eastern Ukraine.

In 2016, Lisa fell seriously ill and was admitted to the pediatric oncohematology department of the National Children’s Hospital “Ohmatdyt”. A few years later, this very hospital would become tragically known across the world, following a Russian missile attack on July 8, 2024, that destroyed one of its main buildings.
