Jan Krediet, a Logistics Plus company, continues to deliver humanitarian aid to cities across Ukraine. For their latest delivery to Odesa, the Jan Krediet team was assisted by the ‘Drivers for Hope’ agency, who set up a convoy with five other local carriers.
The load contained power generators, medical equipment, medical clothing, wheelchairs, washing powder, and children’s toys to supply the hospitals around Odesa. Upon arrival, the cargo was offloaded in the village of Liubashivka, where the goods were then distributed based on the needs of the local hospitals.
The mayor of the region, who is praised by the Ukrainian army for his commitment and help, thanked the convoy drivers. Photos of the convoy and delivery can be seen below.

I know you may not be a Bills fan (or a football fan). And some of you folks overseas might not even know much about football at all (though I know the folks in England, Germany, Mexico, and Brazil do, and our BIG fans 😉).
But I am a big Buffalo Bills fan and was at the game Sunday. It was an amazing game. Came down to the last play. The Bills did not play anywhere near their best game and still won. That’s not easy to do against NFL competition. And Miami’s quarterback Tua Tagovailoa played GREAT!
And though many of you know I am often critical of Bills’ coach, Sean McDermott, I think this was a very ballsy call to go for the winning FG as he did.
- It was over 60 yards. Longer than Bass has ever hit and longer than any in Buffalo Bills history.
- TBass (the Bills kicker) has had a rough year plus. He seemed to lose his confidence toward the end of last year and has been shaky.
- McDermott going for the FG in that situation took guts. The safer bet was a Hail Mary or even a punt to go into OT. The danger with the FG attempt is that 1. It could be blocked and returned for a TD or 2. If Bass misses (and who thought he would make it, honestly?), the Dolphins get the ball on the Bills 49 with only a few seconds left but with 2 timeouts. One 15-20 yard completion the Dolphins they could have kicked a much more makeable game-winning field goal. Gutsy call.
Now, I know how much McDermott and the rest of the team have had TBass’ back. And no one would have blamed him for missing a 61-yarder at the buzzer. But had he missed, and had the Dolphins scored a last-second FG, McDermott would have been pilloried for going with a guy who has been inconsistent all year (including missing an XP earlier in the game).
So, my hat’s off to McDermott for sticking with his guy, for having faith in him, and for putting his own rep on the line by bringing him out in that situation.
And clearly, you can see from the video how happy all of Bass’ teammates were for him.
And I would not be surprised if this kick (hopefully 🤞) restores Bass’ confidence, turns his season around, and maybe even saves his career.
Good for him. Good for McDermott. Good for the team. A good lesson for all of us. We have to keep faith in each other, lift up those who are down, don’t give up on them during tough times. What makes a team stronger.
Go Bills! -JB
