Heartbreaking. My friend Yael was there volunteering in Poland the same month, I wonder if you met her. I pray for peace and an end to this horror.

Kim p As soon as I saw the news, I thought of you but not that you would know anyone, just that you were someone who showed up in a disaster to nourish and love people. I am so sorry for your loss which is such a loss for the world. When will we ever learn?

Thank you for such a moving tribute. Damian was the first person from WCK I met when I was in Przemyśl in May of 2022. He was an unbelievably good guy. I am truly heartbroken 💔.

so beautiful, as usual, Kim. you capture the spirit and light of Damian perfectly. his was a quiet presence and a subtle strength, always kind, thoughtful, and always there. what ever was needed and wherever it was needed, Damian was almost there before you asked him, and he was always so protective of the teams working at the train station especially at night. thank you for the beautiful tribute xo

Kim - thank you for sharing. These losses are heartbreaking. I've learned that a friend of mine was friends with Zomi, and you make me wish I knew them both. May we carry it forward.
