Roman is a man with a remarkable story of resilience and compassion. He came to the United States when he was just five years old, leaving behind his homeland of Ukraine. The reason for his family's migration was to practice Christianity, which was a significant challenge in Ukraine at the time.

In Ukraine, Roman and his family had to navigate through an environment where practicing Christianity was not widely accepted, and there were many barriers to doing so. They had to be careful about how they expressed their faith and had to find creative ways to gather and worship. On top of that, they faced many economic challenges, including having to wait in bread lines just to get basic necessities.

Despite these hardships, Roman and his family persevered, and they eventually made the difficult decision to leave their home country and start anew in the United States. They arrived with nothing but the clothes on their backs, but they were determined to build a better life.

Once settled in the US, Roman's faith and compassion for others led him to foster children. Since 2018, he has taken in 29 children and has treated them as his own. He has provided them with a stable home and a nurturing environment, helping them to heal from past traumas and to thrive in their new surroundings.

Through his journey, Roman has demonstrated a remarkable level of resilience and compassion. Despite facing numerous challenges in Ukraine and starting from scratch in the US, he has built a life full of purpose and meaning. His love for his family and his commitment to helping others are an inspiration to all who know him.
