$13,000 For Ukraine...Thank You!

Thank you everyone so much for your generous support. 

I'm putting a close to the campaign. We far exceeded our initial goal of $5,000 thanks to all of you. 

I'm incredibly proud to know so many amazing people willing to contribute to a global cause. 

Thank you to all who shared the campaign with their friends and family as well. 

I've created a slideshow presentation which was presented to a few organizations. Thought some of you might enjoy the full update. 

Feel free to reach me with any questions or if you'd like to chat about the experience, etc. 

View the slideshow here.

The Week in Medyka

I've spent the last week at Medyka the Polish-Ukrainian border town.


People cross into Poland after traveling sometimes for 3-4 days from Mariupol, Kyiv, Kharkiv, Donetsk, and beyond. 


They're tired, cold, hungry, and anxious. The future is unknown. The next destination often is unknown.


Volunteers attempt to greet these tired souls with open arms, open hearts, full pots of soup, kartoplya (potatoes), hot cocoa, and supplies. But, it's not a rose colored welcome party.


Lurking in the shadows are human traffickers the sickest side of humanity. Preying on a vulnerable population to sell into slavery...police and military attempting to crack down on random suspicious activity.

Volunteers on alert as well. Two pit bulls spot a small pug crossing through the gate and launch towards him. Clenching their teeth into the unsuspecting dog's neck. It takes several volunteers poking at the attack dogs eyes to stop the scuffle. And a team of vets to save the pug who thankfully is now fine.


An 85-year old grandma...shares the story of her journey with a Ukrainian immigrant who grew up in the States. The grandma left Mariupol, a now flattened city. She crawled under tanks and over dead bodies 7Km to her transport. On to Kyiv before arriving in Lviv and then to the Medyka border. A 1,300 Km journey. Forced to leave her husband behind because he was too frail to travel. Thankfully, her daughter and son live in Berlin so she at least has a safe haven.


Through all this struggle there is still a sense of wonder and hope in the eyes of children. Entertained by clowns, and candy, and the curiosity of their journey. No doubt asking how much further until their destination...which may remain uncertain.
