And finally tonight, a reminder that sometimes miracles do come true.

A Bergen County teen was so inspired by the true story of a young Ukraine refugee, he wrote a book about it.

Finding Massie, The Miracle Cat from Kiev describes the young girl's quest to find her beloved pet who went missing when Ukraine was invaded.

While gently explaining the impact of war on families and the magic that can happen when a community rallies together, Senior correspondent Brenda Flanagan has their story.

This story is about how two teens connected to create a children's book about the war in Ukraine and a much loved cat named Mercy.

The plush kitten belongs to Irina Chernick, who was 11 years old, living in Kiev when Russia launched the first missile strikes.

Like many families, they fled for their lives and left pets behind.

In the book, Irina tells her beloved Mercy.

I will be home soon.

My Kiska on the road with refugees.

She remembers explosions and siren sirens.

Yes.

So scary.

Irina speaks in halting English.

Her mom thought they'd be home in a couple of weeks.

All my things.

What about me?

It was about Matthew.

How she stay alone at home.

Family and friends tried to rescue many, but the terrified cat escaped her carrier in Lviv.

The news devastated Irina, who urged her mother to post Internet photos in a desperate search from their hotel room in Warsaw.

Irina forced me to post in the Internet that is it.

We lost mercy.

I do not believe in that.

I don't believe I said It's not going to help because it's a war.

Who find some kid.

But she said, Mom, you need to do both.

You need to the post.

Being nervous about where she was.

If she was ever going to see Matthew again.

Kind of just made the whole situation a whole lot worse.

Trevor also felt a high school junior from Turner Fly, who met Irina during a trip to bring humanitarian aid.

Ukrainian refugees.

His synagogue, Temple Emanuel, delivered £9,000 of supplies for families stranded by war.

As Irina told their group about how she needed to find mercy.

It reminded Trevor about his own pet rocket.

Just like losing another thing.

Like a best friend, like Rocket is.

I spend a ton of time with Rocket.

Trevor's family also has deep roots in Ukraine.

His great great grandfather was executed during pogroms there.

His own family fled persecution.

It's not easy.

Fleeing is a little little child with your small family going to a new place where you don't speak the language.

Meanwhile, the search for mercy continued.

People sent photos and finally, miraculously, one of them was messy.

Irina, stepdad, carried the little cat to Warsaw and Arenas arms.

Her mom translates.

Yeah, well, I think it was one of the happiest days in my life.

I started to realize that the story is, number one, inspiring by showing how many people came together in a time of war to help a girl get her cat back.

As Trevor worked on writing the book, he took care to present a story that helps children understand what it means to be displaced by war.

Finding Mercy.

Who, Yes, was named for the soccer star resonates with kids.

It's a story of community arenas, determination and hope, says crisis counselor Jen Veltman.

Having a very specific goal and not giving up on that goal meant just a world of healing and possibility for her.

When everything else was shattering, when bombs were raining down, she felt in her heart.

I can and I will be reunited with this animal.

Even if you don't understand completely the politics of the war.

The effects of the war in terms of data.

Almost everybody understands what it's like to lose a pet.

The book is selling briskly, and all of the proceeds go to benefit refugees of the war in Ukraine.

As for Michigan Arena, they're doing okay.

Arenas 13 now in seventh grade.

Mercy's back in Warsaw Group.

She's so happy, I think.

How are you?

Good.

They're hoping for another miracle to go back home to Kiev.

The book is dedicated to the children of Ukraine.
