I lost my job in December, and now I’m floundering and out of money
Money. They say it’s the root of all evil, right? It’s, unfortunately, something we can’t live without because even the most basic of needs – food, clothing, and shelter – all cost money.

He joins periodic campaigns in multiple Ukrainian cities, operating on hundreds of animals. His primary focus is controlling stray dog and cat populations through spaying and neutering, while also treating war-related injuries.

Serhii Gromov, Ukraine’s Peace Museum in Kyiv: UN Peacekeeping History, and the Žepa Legacy Amid War
By Scott Douglas Jacobsen and Milana Olefirenko Bennett (Translator English-Ukrainian) Ukraine’s Peace Museum in Kyiv, founded by former UN peacekeeper Serhii Gromov, documents the country’s contributions to international peacekeeping missions since the early 1990s. Through personal archives, mission artifacts, flags, and correspondence, the museum highlights deployments in the former Yugoslavia, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Angola, and beyond. A central narrative focuses on the 1995 Žepa operation, which Ukrainian accounts credit with saving thousands of civilians. Operating during Russia’s ongoing invasion, the museum presents a paradox: a peace institution functioning in wartime. Its mission is both archival and aspirational, asserting Ukraine’s identity as a peace-contributing nation while enduring active conflict.

JH Overton-Bey: An Atlanta Homeownership Program Model Built for Real Families. AI-Generated.
Atlanta’s path to homeownership can be especially steep for low- to moderate-income households, not because people lack drive, but because the process demands everything at once. Buyers need upfront cash, a lender-ready credit profile, clean documentation, and the ability to make fast decisions in a market that can shift week to week. Community programs make the biggest difference when they remove friction across the entire journey rather than offering a single class or a one-time grant. This whole-pathway approach reflects the kind of practical, protective community standard often associated with JH Overton-Bey: clear steps, clear guardrails, and support that lasts beyond closing.
