Inspiring Acts of Kindness Happening in Ukraine

Russia recently launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, displacing over 650,000 civilians who fled to the border. Neighbouring countries have welcomed them with open arms, but the logistics of helping that many people at once have been challenging for local authorities.

Declining necessities, ranging from medical supplies to introductory food provisions, have made it challenging for people to leave Ukraine to avoid the war.

Despite the challenges, the world has come together with a massive outpouring of support for Ukrainians. Here are just a few of the many inspiring acts of kindness happening right now.

Ukrainian-Canadian journalist Christian Borys launched Saint Javelin through Shopify. The available inventory is all based on Ukrainian designs. The site's goal is to raise money to send funds to the orphans of deceased war veterans.

“I put our Shopify store up in like 30 minutes,” Borys said, “and the next day, I woke up to a thousand orders. I printed 100 stickers and thought I’d give $500 and be done.”

Over $650,000 has been generated since the storefront opened. The entire collection is found here: https://www.saintjavelin.com/collections/all.

Christian and Scooby are seen at NBA games across the United States. Although you won’t see them get a game-winning basket or hit a huge three-pointer from the corner, the stadium still erupts in applause whenever they’re on the court.

These two are a performance duo. Christian works with his chihuahua while showcasing many acrobatic moves, proving that the partnership of “man’s best friend” is alive and well.

Each halftime performance's video often goes viral as Scooby runs on Christian while he rolls down the court. If you give the pup a squishy basketball, he’ll dunk it on a chihuahua-sized hoop. Music plays as the two perform, with the tricks synced up to the rhythm.

When Dogs of Instagram re-shared their clip in February of this year, it generated over 91,000 likes – and lots of praise! Many people don’t know that these two besties have been performing for quite some time. Christian Stoinev might go viral because of what Scooby can do on the court, but as you can see in the video above, he’s immensely talented. He performs strength and balance activities as part of the halftime shows.

A crowd favorite is Christian balancing on one hand from a podium while Scooby sits on his back. The first large-scale exposure Christian received for his talent occurred on Season Two of America’s Got Talent. Unfortunately, he was eliminated in the Las Vegas round that year. He made it to the finals in Season Nine before being voted off the show.
