🩸 A 10-Year Journey: Iryna Rumyantseva’s Story of Donation
For over a decade, Iryna Rumyantseva has been a blood donor. She does so quietly, consistently, and with a profound belief: one simple act can grant someone a second chance at life.
During our conversation in the studio, Iryna shared her personal journey and highlighted the critical importance of regular blood donation. She also discussed how modern digital tools play a vital role in connecting donors, responding swiftly to urgent needs, and ultimately saving even more lives.
“Blood Solidarity” is not just a campaign—it is a powerful movement where every single drop represents solidarity, care, and an invisible bridge of humanity connecting Ukraine and the UK.
🎶 From Canada to the UK: Tradition and New Beginnings with Natalka Jaddock
We were also thrilled to be joined by Natalka Jaddock, a woman with an inspiring journey and a vibrant heart. Years ago, while living in faraway Canada, Natalka passionately supported Ukrainians through her singing. Now, her path has brought her here to the United Kingdom.
Today, Natalka is an active community advocate and a proud new mother, raising her 3-month-old son, Tristan. Despite the busy joys of early motherhood, she remains deeply committed to cultural activism. During the live broadcast, Natalka completely captivated our listeners with her beautiful voice, performing traditional, ancient Ukrainian songs that resonated as a true testament to the resilience of our heritage.
