💬Received confirmation from Franklin that one more of my donated tourniquets reached Kharkiv🇺🇦—now part of life-saving ⛑️first aid kits for the heroes on the front lines.
📣Every act of solidarity—from donations to conversations—makes a difference.
The story of the blue doll🇺🇦🇺🇸
🎁A gift from an incredible woman—Mrs. Olena.
She remembered me from my last volunteering in #Kyiv.🇺🇦
When she’s not weaving camouflage nets, she crafts handmade dolls for frontline defenders, too.✨
This one found its way to Malden.🇺🇸
I’m thinking of her. And the people of #Ukraine 🇺🇦

Friends of #Ukraine.🇺🇦
I recently joined Coach Nate on the Truth in the Arena podcast to share my #humanitarian #volunteer journey—from the #Poland -Ukraine border in 2022 to the continued work in Lviv, Kyiv, and Kherson.
I’ll never forget the resilience of displaced Ukrainians—or the strength I witnessed in our collective effort.
Every act of solidarity—from donations to conversations—makes a difference.

What kindness have you seen from volunteers?
“At @RepairCafe_Barry we have an Autistic boy who comes in every month with his teddy. One of our volunteers spotted a very similar teddy in a charity shop for £1 and bought it for spare parts as needed.”
What a kind volunteer to be thinking about the repair cafe and that boy specifically while going about their everyday!

"It's the idea of health professionals 'literally prescribing you a community activity or resource the same way they'd prescribe you pills or therapies,' she [Julia Hotz] explains. The prescriptions include exercise, art, music, exposure to nature and volunteering, which are known to have enormous benefits to physical and mental health."

Update from Kharkiv 🇺🇦
I just received word that the ⛑️tourniquets I sent were added to first aid kits—and they’re now with the heroes of the 44th Brigade.
This is one of five batches I’ve sent to friends across Lviv, Kyiv, Kherson, and Kharkiv. 🇺🇸Since 2022, I’ve supported Ukraine both as a humanitarian volunteer and from home. That promise continues.
You are not forgotten.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Why I Support and Volunteer in #Ukraine: A Personal Reflection
I often get asked—both here in the U.S. and in Ukraine—why I choose to #volunteer.

👉🏽 I just received a photo from Ukraine—three defenders holding the tourniquets I mailed, sharing their thanks. This is one of five batches I've sent to my friends across Lviv, Kyiv, Kherson, and Kharkiv.
⛑️Since 2022, I’ve supported as both a humanitarian volunteer on the ground and from home—standing with the people of Ukraine every step of the way. That promise continues.

🇺🇦 Kherson, this is for you.
📦I just mailed a package of CAT-7 tourniquets, a U.S. flag🇺🇸, and a card honoring my friend Oleg—a humanitarian volunteer killed while delivering aid. Since 2022, I’ve stood with the people of Ukraine. That promise continues.
You are not forgotten.🕊️
