  • We all know what it is like to make sacrifices, but one B.C. woman is making a major sacrifice of her own by leaving her family to volunteer in Ukraine.
    April Huggett has been helping civilians and soldiers in the war-torn country for 17 months, even though she had originally planned to be there for just 20 days.
    Mike Armstrong speaks with Huggett about what inspired her to help on the front lines.

    What is wrong with the people commenting here, is a reflection of what’s wrong with the world. If she were my mother I would be proud of her. She is not always going to be around for her children, however she gives them an extraordinary example of being committed to something you believe in. Of walking the talk and going out and making a difference in the lives of others. Nobody on earth can has the power to save the world, but each person can contribute in one way or another. I remember my father’s words today when I discussed difficulty with completing a goal and the obstacles others presented in the way! He said, no problem, simply tell them the goal clearly and their role in achieving it and if they resist, simply tell them to get out of your way! I admire this woman for having the courage to help in Ukraine, to give of herself for a while to help in their cause. I am sure that if she volunteered, she was certain her children would be well taken care of. The World needs more people like her! There are those who sit in the bleachers and watch and talk and those that go to the plate, win, lose, or draw. You go girlfriend, blessings and that you return safely to your loved ones. 🙏
