In 40+ years of interviews I've met the rich, the famous, the funniest, and the most fascinating people I can honestly say I've never been more impressed than I was with Halia Didula from Ukraine, who I recently talked to on WLS AM 890.

She has spent her young life rescuing orphans and studying social work...to take that skill home to Ukraine. She is upbeat, even optimistic, and very inspirational, even as she does not know the future fates of her family and friends in this ridiculous war. Hear her here with me from The Steve Cochran Show on 890 WLS.

SHOW NOTES

This organization helps the Ukrainian Army, and Halia recommends that your support goes there during this time. Thank you for your generosity!
