Vasyl

Nathalie Halbout is feeling happy with David Halbout in Kyiv, Ukraine.

What makes your day? Talking to a defender I long considered dead, makes mine!!!

Back in July, in a Kyiv hospital I met Vasyl. He was very heavily wounded and was extremely emaciated. I was worried that he died, as I never heard back from him. I saw his face today on social media- he was awarded a Golden Cross Medal!

I tried dialing him up and he answered!!!

He is still not out of the woods- missing 2.7” of his femur. Still a “ model weight” of 135 lbs compared to 185 prewar (with a towering height of 6’3”). I am honored to have been able to do little things for him, like holding a towel (during a haircut) so that the hair would not fall onto his bed.
