I think I’ve found my mission. While all the world goes to hell, finding the goodness is making it bearable for me.
There are many, many good people working hard to help Ukraine, I’m going to highlight two I ran across today.
Acts Of Kindness: Thinking of UkrainePost + Comments (86)
Lyrics in English:
In the meadow, there a red kalyna (Viburnum), has bent down low,
For some reason, our glorious Ukraine, has been worried so.
And we’ll take that red kalyna and we will raise it up,
And we, our glorious Ukraine, shall, hey – hey, rise up – and rejoice!#StandWithUkraine Link to all streaming platforms here: https://bit.ly/KiffKalyna

Andriy Khlyvnyuk, the frontman of top Ukrainian band Boombox (Бумбокс) dropped his tour of the US to defend his country. He was kind enough to let me remix this recent video of him singing a Ukranian folk song, й у лузі червона калина (Oy u luzi chervona kalyna).
Thank you to the whole @familyboombox team & Adnriy Khlyvnyuk for making this video possible. I sincerely hope that you stay safe during this time. Special thanks to Manja and her mother Lada for their support.
My love & thoughts are with the people of Ukraine & with all the people in Russia who are against this senseless war waged on the people of Ukraine by President Putin.
I hope this video helps in some small way. With love from South Africa ?? ❤️ ?? As promised, we agreed that all royalty earnings from this video will be donated to humanitarian aid for the Ukrainian armed forces.

The response to this song has been incredible! In just one day the song has accrued over $7000 in royalties from Facebook, Bandcamp & Youtube. It gives me great pleasure to give all of that back to Ukraine’s aid. It’s now available on all streaming platforms: https://bit.ly/KiffKalyna
