Stories of Kindness from Around the World

'tis The Season :)

I sent another two packages to my friend in Ukraine. They have both arrived, including one that the USPS erroneously sent on a holiday across the UK (glad that one, which was classified as "missing" for several months, finally arrived!).

The packages had more warm socks, sweets and treats, several other special requests that otherwise cannot be found in Ukraine, and a box of funfetti cake mix and a tub of sweet, sweet funfetti icing :) his daughter had a birthday recently and the cupcakes and special requests were most welcomed.

United24, the official fundraising platform launched by President Zelenskyy, started a new fundraiser for Christmas: their goal of $1,000,000 USD is to purchase generators for schools so the children may study with light and heat (https://u24.gov.ua/bring-light-back). Happily donated, and sent the link on to many others, encouraging them to contribute as well.

A non-profit is collecting funds to provide Christmas gifts to Ukrainian and foreign legion soldiers on the front lines -- happily contributed to that as well to provide a gift to a soldier for Christmas :)

Brought gifts to everyone at work: coffee mugs and a gift card.
