🇺🇦🇺🇸 I’m an American, and I’m not giving up support for #Ukraine. Not now. Not ever.

💪🏾 Today was my last workout session at the #Fitness Court in Malden before heading out in a few days on my sixth #humanitarian volunteer trip. I hope these efforts, however small they may seem, carry a message of resilience and unity to the people of Ukraine.

✨Every act of solidarity—from donations to conversations—makes a difference.

#Ukraine August #Volunteer Update 🇺🇦✈️

⏰In less than 2 weeks, I’ll be heading back to Ukraine for my sixth #humanitarian trip. As of today, transportation and housing are set across several destinations. I’ll be reconnecting with trusted local #Ukrainian partners and supporting new community-led efforts—from peeling potatoes 🥔 to delivering essential aid. ⛑️

➡️ I’ll share more as departure gets closer.

🙏🏽Our collective efforts continue to make a real impact.

The father of 5 fled to Pakistan with his family in 2021. There, Zia applied for an #SIV, while his youngest brother—already a US citizen—applied for #humanitarian parole on Zia’s behalf.
In April 2024, the #State Dept approved Zia’s SIV application, acc/to a letter from the US Embassy in Kabul. He also received humanitarian parole that year, which temporarily granted him & his family entry into the #US.

Zia worked as an #interpreter & cultural adviser at Camp Mike Spann in Mazar-e Sharif, #Afghanistan, from about 2005 until 2009, Petersen, his attorney, told The Post.
Because of his work, Zia “suffered & continues to suffer threats to the life & property of himself & his family members by enemy forces & criminal elements,” says a recommendation letter from a supervisor who oversaw Zia’s interpreter work.

“Faced with a deepening #humanitarian crisis in #Gaza & mounting public pressure, western governments were compelled to act. Most have chosen the symbolic & comparatively cost-free approach of #recognition. They have done so in large part to avoid…concrete measures, such as an #armsembargo, #tradesanctions, or #diplomaticisolation. Yet their response has also demonstrated that…protracted public campaigns…can indeed force governments to change course.” | Middle East Eye https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/Israel-meltdown-western-recognition-palestinian-statehood-deepest-fears

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.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 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.

🗣️During my humanitarian trip to #Lviv in March 2025, a university student posed that very question. My answer was simple: To me, Ukrainian sovereignty represents the frontlines of the global struggle for freedom today.

In 2022, when Kyiv…
