Andriy Sadovyi: There's no need to fear leaving something for the next year.
On this tree, there are chevrons, among which anyone can find their own, their brigade, or a familiar symbol of a loved one.
It's fascinating to watch how people search and discover. And if they don't find it – they give away their own.
Just a few hours before 2025, this might sound quite strange, but everything wonderful that could have happened to us this year actually did.
Yesterday, 189 more Ukrainians returned home from Russian captivity.
In Lviv, this year, 110 children found what matters most in the world – a new family.
Roman Oleksiy, a boy who survived a missile strike in Vinnytsia, recently took off his mask. Now we will recognize him not by the blue fabric that protected his burned face, but by his wonderful dance.
There is a country that launches rockets, and then there is Ukraine, which cherishes every individual.
Yana Stepanenko lost her legs three years ago, yet she ran the distance at the Boston Marathon in April. Not everyone here even knows what the Boston Marathon is, but this girl made it.
My Kateryna created a choir with displaced women, and this year they toured in Bibrka and beyond. It’s a small victory I want to hold onto. But just Google this city – it deserves attention :)
My team and I traveled a lot this year as well. And these kilometers are literally reflected in millions of dollars of humanitarian aid for a city that heals.
The people of Lviv, together with “Come Back Alive,” launched a campaign called “Weapon Bearers”. It has been a long and difficult journey. But we will close it too, although it will be next year.
In general, there’s no need to fear leaving something for the next year. Regardless of all superstitions. We need to think about life. There is so little of it lately.
But first, let’s not forget to remember those who didn’t make it to this day. May there be a place in heaven for all who now remain forever in our memory.
And our best wish has already been expressed by Krychytka:
My
Christmas
Wishlist
Consists
Of names
Of Ukrainian
Cities.
Happy upcoming holidays! Thank you!
