I made the best decision today..out n about on a beautiful day running errands

[Deuxcents]

And I passed a church doing a charity car wash. I figured mine could use it so I pulled in n the man at the front taking money had an accent I didn’t recognize around here. He told me the car wash for for a member of the church going to someplace I couldn’t make out. I thought..it’s charity so I pulled up and there were about 4-5 young men about 18-24 and then a couple more a little older and 4-5 that were maybe 8-10 years old. I looked at one guy who was standing getting ready for my car when I saw his tattoo under his forearm..a great big beautiful crest of Ukraine! I got my camera out and pointed to his arm n he looked surprised n then I showed him my photo a DU sent with the same crest that I had copied n he said “Ukraine! You know!” I said yes, and then another guy showed me his Ukraine tattoo! I don’t know what this charity car wash was for real but I like to think I made a good decision and drove around to the entrance and gave another donation b/c after all, they did a good job! I left feeling like I made a good choice today 🇺🇦

5. Great little story!

As a 2nd Gen half Ukrainian-American I will go down to "Little Ukraine" in Manhattan in the warmer part of this Spring.


Only had not been bc of Covid way limiting my travels, and I had a lot of upheaval in my life soon after that war started (OK now but very unexpected circumstances for the whole year).

7. Sounds like a great cause. There's more to that story. Would be interesting to interview them. Thank

you! What state was that in?

10. I think you're right..the cause for the charity was a little hard to understand

I’m used to Spanish accents here in Florida and it was one I did not understand well. I’m in Ft Myers..I may pass that way again and see if they’re there..I wondered why they were here n not in Ukraine but..who knows as long as they’re on the up n up
