Slight chance of bombs: an anxious man. A shopping cart and unlikely journey to the Ukrainian border

He went to the Ukrainian border to help. He brought a shopping cart. He had no idea what he was doing.In March 2022, as millions of Ukrainians fled the Russian invasion, Patric Crevier was sitting safely at home in Canada, watching the war unfold on television.Then, almost on a whim, he bought a plane ticket to Poland.No humanitarian experience. No organization waiting for him. No official role. And, as someone who had struggled with anxiety since childhood, not exactly the profile of a fearless adventurer.Armed mostly with good intentions-and eventually a supermarket shopping cart-he began helping women, children and elderly people carry their belongings between Ukraine and Poland.What followed was a deeply human journey filled with unexpected encounters, moments of fear, absurd situations, laughter, and the quiet courage of ordinary people caught in extraordinary circumstances.Slight Chance of Bombs is not a war story told by a soldier, journalist or aid professional. It is the story of an ordinary man who decided, for once, to stop listening to the fears in his head and simply go.Told with warmth, honesty and self-deprecating humor, this memoir is as much about anxiety, purpose and getting out of your own way as it is about Ukraine.Sometimes you don't need to know exactly what you're doing.You just need to show up.
