To the People of California Affected by the Wildfires, From across the world, in Ukraine, our hearts go out to you during this unimaginable time of loss and uncertainty. While our circumstances differ, the emotions and experiences that connect us—leaving home with no certainty of return, the aching silence when loved ones can’t be reached, the devastation of losing animals and cherished places, and the struggle of displacement—are all too familiar to us. In the wake of the wildfires ravaging your communities, we want you to know that we see your pain, and we share in it. For us, war has torn apart homes, displaced families, and stolen the comfort of familiar streets and the laughter of loved ones. For you, fire has devoured landscapes and homes, uprooting lives and leaving trails of grief and ash. The details may differ, but the pain of loss is universal. As Ukrainians, we’ve learned how important it is to lean on each other and the kindness of people around the world. Your pain is real, and your strength is incredible. From Ukraine, we send you all our love, solidarity, and hope for brighter days ahead. With Love, The Ukrainians at Saint Javelin
