I received news that moved me to tears.
I contacted my first writing professor, 1979 (teacher appreciation week, you know) thanked him for a job well done, and sent him copies of Chicken Soup for the Soul books in which my stories are published.
He said since I refused to accept payment from him, he has made a donation in my name to a worthy cause. Indirectly Chicken Soup for the Soul and I are responsible for feeding Ukrainian people.
No matter how small the effort, I can confirm one person can make a difference.
I consider this HUGE. The monetary donation has been made in my name to World Central Kitchen.
I am deeply touched by this gesture.

Very moving gesture on the part of the professor!
Your professor is a high-quality human being trying to make a difference in this bloody world.
That is wonderful, Linda. It's great that your stories in CSS have contributed to helping people in need at this time. That is a story all on its own. So happy for you. : )

What a nice gesture!
Linda, that is absolutely great. To think that you are helping feed some of those dear people who have lost everything is truly an act of deep charity. I am so proud of you! Hugs. Susan
