  • Have a small walk together with me and Brandon in Hostomel and listen to his story. Canadian volunteer, serving with the Ukrainian Hospitaliers, talks about the front lines, supporters of Ukraine, ‪@JohnnyFD‬, Yana Zinkevitch, fundraising for his Battalion, and the day he nearly lost his life while saving the Ukrainian civilians.

    I am a Canadian and on the side of the Ukraine 100% and wish I were half my age so I could be over there helping you in the struggle against the criminal Kremlin and drive those monsters out of your nation. I wish you well and that you come out of Russia's aggression on top and drive them out forever. Ukraine you are worthy and need to always be part of what is good in this world,join with those who want democracy and freedom and never back down in your drive for both. Mr Starsky we here in Canada want the best for you and yours!

      Gentlemen. There are things that need doing that can be done at home or over there, at any age. Keep in mind, Russia is sending men as old as 60, to the frontlines. You are not useless has-beens...... regardless of what your wives might say. :)

    I am an American of Canadian descent and I couldn't be more proud of this man for all that he is doing if he were my son despite having no children. It is frustrating to be old at this point in time. I would be there in a heartbeat if I were even 20 years younger but I can't so I watch I share information and I donate more than I can afford for medical care, military and other supplies because I can't be there. I have been watching Putin since he came to prominence during the war in Chechnya and I read the reports that the "terrorist" actions like blowing up Russian apartment buildings that led to the mass bombing of Chechnya were all false flag actions done by members of the FSB. It sickened me and it made me realize that Putin was a psychopath and would do anything that he chose to do and it did not matter who died be they Russian or his targets. I watched as Europe and the US appeased him and I had this sinking feeling in my stomach when he annexed Crimea. I knew he would not be satisfied but the West collectively had shown that they were weak and you never show weakness to a psychopath because it just emboldens them. I wrote to the US Government, the UN and any group that I thought might be powerful enough to see what I believed would happen next. I prayed someone would hear me but no one did, or if they happened to read my letters or emails they discounted them as some nutter who thought she could see the future. They tell us to study the past lest we repeat it and yet here we are. God bless this man and all the men and women of Ukraine and foreign countries who provide medical care or fight for Ukraine. You will never be forgotten.

      Thank you for your efforts! As a single mom, theses past 10-15 years have been challenging. I haven't always been able to act on political or international issues. Having an ex who turned out to be a chip off of tRump's block didn't help. I've really appreciated those who've been out there saying what needs to be heard and fighting what needs to fought. 💜✊

I am so honored to participate in it and, like you, lmcsquared, I wish I were young and fit again so I could offer my skills as a licensed psychotherapist, or a meal server or rubble-clearer. Yes, Putin is a pure sociopath, who wouldn't mind blowing up the world if he thought Biden and the rest of the west would cave in to his threats. Greetings from Oregon, USA.

    Brandon is an amazing guy, and he inspired me to run humanitarian aid deliveries from here in Poland to Kyiv, but I don't have the balls to put myself in the situations he finds himself in. I remember one video where he picked up a load of children when the Russians were in the same village and couldn't fit them all in the car. So he took as many as he could and then went back again, risking his own life and drove down a road and faced a Russian tank, quickly taking a sideroad, he managed to find the rest of the kids and grandmothers and took them to safety.
    I am in total awe of this guy.

    Canadian here: Brandon, born in Scotland, moved to Canada (Miramichi, New Brunswick), and began a life of service....and never stopped. (His incredible mix euro-scottish-canuck/miramichi accent is as unique as an accent can be.) Sometimes it's nature, sometimes nurture -- but it seems to me, Brandon was really born (again) as a Ukrainian; his love for animals, humanity and his quiet courage are very much Ukrainian traits:)
