Times are tough. The news is heavy, and the systemic failures are real. Sometimes, we need a break from all the doom to recognize the repair. For every broken institution, there are a dozen people quietly holding their community together with duct tape and grit. This weekend, look for the helpers🙂💙

Kharkiv hospitals operate in basements now. Surgeries run on generator power. Oxygen gets delivered during air raids. Three years of bombardment taught them what NATO hasn't learned: resilience is infrastructure, not courage. euromaidanpress.com/2025/12/06/i...
