This is a great story. Czech volunteers delivered humanitarian help in active war zones and they witnessed how an old babushka gave eggs to ZSU soldiers. Fighters took it and she received some canned food in return. Czechs were amazed and asked soldiers why they took the eggs when it was everything she had? And they answered that she is old and weak yet she still wants to fight against invaders and contribute on her terms. Knowing that soldiers will eat the eggs gives her a purpose.

A Czech businessman Jan Bárta heard this story and was so moved that he decided it is his turn to do something about Russian invasion. He wrote this status on Twitter and promised to donate 100 dollars for every retweet and he really kept the promise. He paid more than 50 million Czech crowns to purchase drones for Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Great inspiration, contribute any way you can.
