CEO and Founder at Intercom Eogham McCable has offered $5000,000 to fund painting hundreds of murals of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska in major cities nationwide.
23-year-old Iryna Zarutska never saw the blow coming that killed her on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina on Aug. 22.
The refugee fled from war-torn Ukraine to come to the US where she was fatally stabbed to death by Decarlos Brown Jr., 34, a career criminal and homeless man.

For some reason, major media outlets didn’t report the crime until they were called out by conservative media.

I am so disturbed by that new video circulating of Iryna. She didn’t even realize what had happened. She didn’t know she was dying. Her life slipped away from her and not a single person helped her. As a mom of daughters it breaks my heart to think of her as someone’s little…
