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.

Solidarity from America 🇺🇸🇺🇦

📻Old school hip hop in Odesa 🇺🇦
My taxi driver 🚕, Volodymyr, had 2Pac’s "Only Fear of Death" 🎶 playing softly. On his console sat the Odesa flag. I recognized it instantly, and he looked surprised.
➡️ I told him it matters to me—to learn, to honor, to understand the culture and history of where I serve.
Moments like this remind me of the universal language of music and that hip hop has no boundaries.🌎

💪🏾 Pull-ups for Ukraine 🇺🇦
Day two, early morning in Odesa. Before the work began, I found a calisthenics 🌳park for a mini workout.
As a 50-year-old humanitarian volunteer, I've learned that my well-being is part of the mission. When I take time for my mental and physical health, I can show up fully—ready to give all my energy and focus to the people of 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.
Ukraine Humanitarian Trip Update 🇺🇦
I have safely arrived in Odesa and was greeted by a friendly kit 🇺🇦 after a long bus trip. It’s time to rest up.
✨Tomorrow, I’ll begin volunteer work alongside a small Ukrainian community-led group and will continue sharing updates along the way.
➡️ Together, our collective effort can make a positive difference for Ukraine.

Stand With #Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇺🇸
Just received a video from Olena, who bravely helped deliver the tourniquets⛑️ I donated to Coast of Life in #Odesa. The heroes on the frontlines sent a message saying "Dyakuyu" (thank you in Ukrainian).
➡️To these defenders: The world is witnessing your bravery. You stand tall against impossible odds, defending your nation with unwavering resolve. You are an inspiration to us all.
