A war that has changed us forever. When strangers became like family. When volunteers became guardian angels. When each of us did everything we could — and a little more.

We bow deeply to our defenders, who stand strong, hold the sky and the land, and protect our right to live in our own country, speak our language, and raise children under the Ukrainian sky. You are our shield. Our strength. Our dignity.

Boundless gratitude to the medical professionals saving lives despite exhaustion, to the utility and energy workers who restore warmth and light to homes, and to the rescuers who are first on the scene in the most dangerous places. To everyone who works, volunteers, supports, and donates.

We hold on. We believe. And we know: after the darkest night, dawn always comes.

In loving memory of all those taken by this war.
