Retired from my job to focus full time on my not-a-job and to sharpen my kindness skills. Currently mourning loss of my cat. After a little time to reflect I’ll be visiting the local shelter to look for another bff. Please, no DMs thank you.

One of four evac ambulances sent to Ukraine with fundraisers by Newton MA based NGO ‘Sunflower of Peace’

The ambulance is named in honor of Myroslav Nataliutkin, a 27-year-old defender from the Lviv region. Myroslav had fallen in October 2024 while defending Ukraine.
