🇺🇦 Today at Coast of Life in Odesa, I donated CAT 7 tourniquets I brought from the 🇺🇸 U.S. to Olena K, who bravely delivers essential aid to heroes on the frontline.

She’s an inspiration.✨

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.

monday morning starts off with the sentiment, "at least it feels better than yesterday", a subjective statement when there's a fever involved and still no vocal cord control. I don't want another day of bed rest, very tired of bed, tired of downtime. stupid covid.

🇺🇸🇺🇦Just received confirmation and photos from trusted Ukrainian friends in Odesa, Kyiv, and Kharkiv—my donation of bandages and ⛑️ hemostatic napkins have arrived and will be delivered directly to defenders on the frontline.

➡️ Every act of solidarity matters.

⏰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.

📣Bridging the Gap: #Fitness and #Healthcare for Healthy Aging

📌With over 20 years in the fitness industry and as an EMT-B, I’ve seen firsthand the unnecessary divide between the #medical and fitness communities. It’s time we break down these barriers and work together to build a healthier future.

🎯Preventive care is the cornerstone of healthy aging. That’s why I always encourage my clients, no matter their fitness level, to schedule annual checkups. These regular appointments are …

An Israeli airstrike has killed one of Gaza’s most senior doctors in a “catastrophic” loss to the already decimated healthcare system. A number of family members were reported to have been killed alongside him.

Dr Marwan al-Sultan, a renowned and highly experienced cardiologist and director of the Indonesian hospital in the #Gaza Strip, is the 70th #healthcare worker to be killed by Israeli attacks in the last 50 days, according to Healthcare Workers Watch (HWW), a Palestinian medical organisation.

“This is part of a much longer and systematic atrocious targeting of healthcare workers sanctioned by impunity. This is a tragic loss of life, but also an obliteration of their decades of lifesaving medical expertise and care at a time when the situation facing Palestinian civilians is unfathomably catastrophic,” Alser added.

“He was a prominent scholar and one of the two remaining cardiologists left in Gaza. Thousands of heart patients will suffer as a result of his killing. His only fault was that he was a doctor. We have no option but to be steadfast, but the sense of loss is devastating.”

FINAL EDIT: forgot to update but I got surgery! I do have debt for it so this will stay up at least until I can find a job:)

Mutual aid post! cause guess who scheduled his top surgery :)) It's scheduled in June.

I'm a physically disabled trans man trying to afford top surgery. I'm a student and a cult survivor, and my family isn't willing to help with this. I also recently had to quit my job for disability reasons, making my situation even more challenging. With the state of the world I want this done as soon as possible.

With my current savings, I need about $5K to pay for the surgery and the associated costs.

Please don't donate if you can't afford it, and please consider also donating to someone in Gaza (gazafunds.com), they need it more than I do <2.

EDIT: gofundme finally restored my fundraiser, so you can give there too!
