Summary

On this episode of The Jason Jones Show, Jason shares the story of Roman Oleksiv, who survived a Russian missile strike on Vinnytsia in July 2022 when he was just seven years old. Severely burned and having lost his mother in the attack, Roman endured 36 surgeries and long rehabilitation in Ukraine and Germany. Wearing a full-body compression garment like a superhero suit, he has become a symbol of resilience and hope. This episode reflects on courage, recovery, and the strength of a child moving forward after unimaginable loss. 🌍 Learn More & Support Jason Jones / VPP: • Vulnerable People Project (VPP): https://www.vulnerablepeopleproject.com • Jason’s Substack: https://thejasonjonesshow.substack.com • Instagram: @thevulnerablepeopleproject • X (Twitter): @Vulnerable_VPP
