So darn proud of my friend Charlie Hewitt and Lewiston city officials. There is no doubt this is a message we need not just in our state or country, but throughout the world.

If you'd like to learn more about how to bring Hopeful to your community reach out! I'm happy to help.

Hewitt said it's a small gesture of solidarity with the Ukrainian people as the war stretches into a third year.
