Hi, Reddit! Today was a really shitty day. There are many days like this now. Today is different because the guy who was supposed to receive our help was killed. This is the case when the parcel did not reach the addressee. I feel terrible.

  1. I am sorry. That is terrible. We can see that you are doing your best to help every day.

  2. In fact, someone is killed every day. There are hundreds of these deaths caused by russia. My brain can’t comprehend the horror of it all, so it just detached itself from it. I don’t let all the grief pass through me so as not to go crazy. But still, you cannot abstract yourself from the nightmare around you. And one day, something like that knocks you out of your rut. I had never even met this guy Igor, who was killed today. He was a friend of the paramedic Andriy, whom we had helped many times before. Andriy asked us to buy two charging stations for this guy and helped him to complete all the paperwork to get our help. I raised funds in Ukraine and today I bought the two stations. Then I wrote to Andrey to clarify the delivery address. Andriy said that Igor was killed, russian artillery destroyed their position. In the evening, Andriy will go to pick up his friend’s body. This time we didn’t make it. Andriy said he would soon help the other guys with the paperwork so that I could send the chargers. And now I have a lump in my throat because I want to cry and howl for a stranger with whom I have not even spoken on the phone. At such moments, I am flooded with hatred for russia and everything connected with it. https://www.reddit.com/u/CF_Siveryany/s/o5uCiEYY1d

  4. You are a *real* angel to those fighting men and women. Igor is in a better place now, but you can and will help many others. You are a wonderful human being and a great example for us all.

    This war brings a lot of darkness to Ukraine, but you bring the light. May God bless you infinitely.

  5. It will end. Not today or tomorrow, but it will end. I know words does not make a difference, so I will not say much. But your day of victory will come, and this will be over. Godspeed

  6. An unnecessary war. But through tough times the strength of the few shows the many what it means. Freedom isn’t free, it is earned and at the end of this you guys and gals will have earned it. Ukraine is fucking awesome. Stay strong.

  11. Heartbreaking to say the least. Stay strong, we believe in you.

  12. I can’t imagine how hard it is for you and for other ukrainians including families that have sacrificed their fathers and brothers etc…to prevent what is effectively Mordor from invading. The wee here are committed to supporting you.

  13. I’m so sorry u r a very brave soul and that comes with lots of sad times these are the close loses that u will c more and more of and I’m very sorry for this but one day it will all be over also till then u help so meny .I will have the cup of coffee with u then.stay safe

  14. I supported a foreign volunteer (through PAV) and the morning we transferred funds to him to buy a good anti-drone EW system he had selected, he was killed. And yes, drones played a part in his death. This was gut-wrenching. As if the heartbreak of losing such a wonderful man wasn’t bad enough.

    I am so sorry for your loss and your pain.

  15. Hold on. We in Europe will try and force our leaders to do the right thing and help you push the invaders out and pay for what they did. Stay strong.

  16. I’m so sorry! I’m giving you a hug from California. Slava Ukraine, Slava Heroym💔
