Dyakuyu! (Thank you in Ukrainian)

On my last day in #Lviv before heading to #Kyiv, I got some amazing unexpected gifts from Lyuda, one of the founders of Lviv Volunteer Kitchen. I've been supporting them since my first visit in 2023, and it's been an honor.

Working with Ukrainians and volunteers from all over the world has been incredibly inspiring.

Join me in supporting the people of #Ukraine. Together, we can make a difference.

Global support for #Ukraine!

Flags from around the world symbolize the unity at Lviv Volunteer Kitchen. Today, on my second visit (first in 2023), was truly inspiring. Volunteers from Belgium to New Zealand joined local Ukrainians to prepare meals for the heroes on the frontlines.

Their work is critical, and they rely on partners, donors, and #volunteers to make a difference.

Please help my dear friend Derrick “Baseck” Estrada get back on his feet after a horrific road collision with a semi-truck took the life of his dear friend Láwû Mango and destroyed most of his music gear as he was moving to settle in a new home.

I can’t stress enough how his creativity, genuine love of his craft and community have been benefiting the Los Angeles music scene ever since I met him in 2007. He needs our help.

I am so honoured and excited to be the new Social Media and Community Manager for @dweb!

I also feel a very big responsibility, it is such an important role for me, but at the same time I am working with a stellar team, doing things I love and I truly believe in.

Between this and connection weaving at @VillageOneCoop, my plate is going to be quite full in the next few months… I love the challenge, and

always

ROCK’n’ROLL!

These two are always checking in with each other.

When Henry realizes he’s alone in the dark and can’t figure out where the others are (Henry is partially blind and can’t see a thing at night), it’s Abner who comes to his worried calls and leads him back to the herd.

May we all have such friends, and be such friends to others.
