🇺🇦 Supporting the Heroes on the Frontline | Kharkiv
📦Weeks ago, I mailed tourniquets, bandages, and hemostatic napkins⛑️ to Chervona Kalyna. Today, while volunteering, the team picked them up—and surprised me with two chevrons

For my Friends in Kharkiv 🇺🇦
While volunteering here in Odesa, I received a message from a friend in Kharkiv. Before this humanitarian volunteer trip, I sent him a box of first-aid bandages and hemostatic napkins to get to the heroes on the front line.
Whether it’s a small donation or a message of encouragement, every action of solidarity matters for Ukraine.

1/2 🌅🇺🇦 Odesa #Sunrise | Before the Work Begins
It’s my first day of humanitarian volunteering in #Odesa. I got up early to catch the sunrise before the work begins.
In every city and village I visit, I see Ukrainians striving to live with dignity and normalcy—even under daily attacks. That is a profound form of defiance, a refusal to surrender to terrorism. But let’s be clear: Russia’s targeting of civilians is a grave violation of international law. The cost is real. The trauma is daily.

Today, I’ll be connecting with Coast of Life, a grassroots Ukrainian group supporting frontline defenders with trench candles and warming balms. Their work is vital, a small act of care that brings a morale-boost with each delivery.

🍋☀️👮🏽♂️Community Building
On my way home from a meeting today, I saw something that brightened my day. A young girl and her mom were selling lemonade, and a Malden Police Officer had pulled over to support them. Inspired by that simple act of community, I stopped too and grabbed a delicious $1 cup. That kind of presence builds trust and helps bridge gaps in our community.

🧵National Night Out 2025✨
Community isn’t built in a day—but it starts with showing up.
A few years ago, I had a conversation with then-Captain Cronin—now Chief of Police here in Malden. I thanked him and the Malden PD for doing something simple but powerful: walking the streets, talking with residents, and making sure minority voices weren’t just heard, but respected.
That kind of presence matters. It’s how we start building bridges in our…

…community, which is why I’m proud to support events like National Night Out, happening this Tuesday, August 5th at MacDonald Stadium. Free food, music, and a chance to meet the officers and community public safety partners who serve our city.
Thank you to the Malden Police Department for their continued dedication to building trust and showing up for our community.

1/🚨 Heat Wave Reminder: Check In, Speak Up, Save a Life☀️
After teaching my strength class at the Milano Senior Center in Melrose today, I was driving home when I noticed an older woman sitting alone on the curb. It didn’t feel right—especially in this dangerous heat. I turned around, flagged down a nearby police cruiser, and let the officer know I was an EMT-B and concerned.
We found she…

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.
