This is Chris Manson, an ordinary American who has done something extraordinary for Ukraine.
Chris is not a billionaire. He is not a politician. He is not a celebrity. He is a former firefighter who works in healthcare.
In 2022, his 7-year-old daughter Lily asked him a simple question: “Daddy, can we do something to help Ukraine?”
He could have told her that Ukraine was thousands of miles away. That there was little they could do. That it was someone else’s problem.
Instead, he decided to act.
In March 2022, Chris founded US Ambulances for Ukraine. On March 29, the first ambulance was on its way to Ukraine.
What started with one ambulance became something extraordinary.
125 ambulances, fire trucks, and rescue vehicles have now been sent to Ukraine.
These vehicles are saving lives. They are helping Ukrainian soldiers, doctors, firefighters, and rescue workers. They are evacuating the wounded and bringing help to people whose lives have been shattered by russia’s war.
One little girl asked her father a question. And because he decided to act, countless Ukrainians have received help when they needed it most.
Chris has no intention of stopping. He plans to continue helping Ukraine for as long as necessary.
There are people who have billions of dollars, enormous political power, and millions of followers. And then there are people like Chris Manson, who simply see suffering and decide to do something about it.
You don’t need to be rich or powerful to make a difference. You just need to care enough to act.
Thank you, Chris Manson.
Thank you for showing what true American generosity looks like.
Ukraine will never forget your kindness.

It's embarrassing to admit that I grew up with Adam West Batman reruns in the 1980s and as a kid thought the show was funny but embarrassing & corny. Now I find it completely delightful & realize the writers knew exactly what they were doing.

Had this man not found the courage to fight back after being repeatedly attacked with an axe capable of cutting through metal—while bleeding profusely—and had the presence mind to trigger the hijack/emergency code, initiate the emergency response and open the cockpit door to allow passengers to assist him, the aircraft’s subsequent dive could have had catastrophic consequences.
Had that aircraft not been recovered, the geopolitical consequences for the Middle East could have been profound and potentially irreversible.
Sometimes history turns on the courage, resilience and presence of mind of one person.
Yes. One Indian man.

I could like this a million times...
A pizza shop owner sees a homeless woman digging through his garbage for food.
He brings her inside, heats up a slice and gives her water.
Then he puts up a sign: If you’re homeless and hungry, come in. I’ll feed you.
No judgment, just humanity at its finest. ❤️

This visit broke my heart.
I visited an elderly man with a free food parcel he had requested. When I arrived, he asked, “Can you talk to me for five minutes, or do you have to go?”
I told him I could stay.
He spoke about his life, grieving his late wife and losing his only child to addiction. I stayed for an hour and listened.
As I left, he said, “Thank you for listening. It’s been a long time since anyone listened to me, Tasha.” I’m sure he meant me. Either way, he went back into his home smiling.
With his permission, I’ve passed his details to a befriending service.
I learnt a long time ago that a food bank is about more than food.
It’s about connection, being heard and being seen.
I hope I made his day.
I know he made mine. #foodbank

Trump and Natalie Harp in real life.
This Hour Has 22 Minutes does the best Trump impersonation on television.
This Canadian show absolutely nails it. 🇨🇦🤣

At least the loon is on our coin and not running our country. 😆
