Dear People of Ukraine,

It breaks my heart at what all of you have to endure, what you’re living through right now and for those of you who have lost loved ones and friends. You’re all on my mind and tucked tightly in my heart.

Yet in the midst of the ugliness it warms my heart and gives me hope to see the entire world standing behind you, sending prayers, love and support. You are an amazing group of people who are doing what you can to stand strong through the ugliness happening all around you and even with all that you’re going through, you’re filled with gratitude for all of us showing you our support. I’m truly humbled by that.

I’m one person yet I’ll do whatever it takes as “one” person to show my support, to send my love, and to keep you in my prayers.

I can use my words through my writing to share your stories with others.

I can use my voice so that others may hear what they can do to help you.

And I can use my time to pray for your safety and for peace for you and the world.

We need to stand together so that we can stand behind all of you in Ukraine.

We need to speak out together so that the world knows that there’s strength in numbers.

We need to pray together because there’s strength when one or more pray together.

I truly believe that together we can heal this world.

You’re in my heart, Ukraine, and I’m keeping each and every one of you tight in my prayers.

With all my love,

~Anne~
