My name is Kristina Synia I’m 23 years old and I’m Ukrainian, from Kherson. I am woman from Kherson who, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, remained in her native city, in her native country. From the first days of the war, Kherson was occupied for 9 months. During that time I was with my family: mother, father, and 76-year-old grandmother. I had the opportunity to leave the occupation to the free territory of Ukraine, but I could not leave my family (they categorically did not want to leave the city), my home. I could not imagine my life in another city or country. At the age of 22, I became acquainted with the war on February 24, 2022, survived a terrible 9 months of occupation in my hometown, and now I live for 19 months, as I call it, in the “second nightmare” – a period of daily shelling from the Russian occupiers, who are on the left bank Dnipro.

Two immigrants from south of the border told the City Council Monday they were harassed when using hotel vouchers for shelter in Denver. Speaking through an interpreter, Leivy Ortega and Henry Aguilar said they received vouchers for hotel stays from an unnamed non-profit. But they had problems using the vouchers, they said. Ortega said she came to Denver from Connecticut and lived in her car for 15 days. She received a three-day hotel voucher, she said, but hotel staff initially would not honor it. She did not name the hotel. She said staff finally looked at her paperwork and gave her a room, but they wanted to charge her. for it. She said they initially weren’t going to allow her to stay because she has a service animal.

Cats of Kansas City

Now that we have all had our fill of grilled burgers and fireworks, let's look at some unsung Americans--cats. Did you know that there are nearly 100 million cats living in the United States? I'm not sure who counted all of them, but that's a lot of cats. Enough to sway an election were they given the right to vote (which, of course, they should be). Unfortunately, many of those cats don't have a place to call home. Here are six cats, all in the greater Kanas City area, who would love it if you might consider giving them a bed, a litter box, and a bowl full of kibble.

One of these six spectacular cats may be your next pet
