We welcomed NAVKA for a concert & were honored to meet her husband who is a🇺🇦defender.
We asked what we should know about🇷🇺’s invasion.
1)We must be more aware of the vast reaches of🇷🇺’s propaganda machine
2)The war in🇺🇦is not an end-point. It’s a starting line. ukrainedefensesupport.org/blog/startin...

"My happiness is limited because my friends are still there."

This man spent nearly 3.5 years in russian captivity.
Today, he was finally freed. A bittersweet feeling, as his brothers-in-arms are still there.

He's home, but his heart is with them💙💛

If you support Ukraine from a different state, please consider reaching out to your state or local departments of health to see if they have recently expired gloves or other PPE & send it to Ukraine.

What do you get when you combine a determined UDS volunteer & a great state Department of Health willing to “think out of the box” & save both money & lives?
You get 8 pallets of medical gloves sent to 🇺🇦 where they’re desperately needed.
