MADISON & YURIY PEREKOTIY

We are the Perekotiys – a fully Ukrainian and American family! We have been entrusted with four beautiful children: Chambers (2013), Lev (2015), Mila (2016), and Remington (2019). While visiting family in early 2022, the war broke out in Ukraine. We decided to remain in the US for the 2022-23 school year and support our partners who are still serving in Ukraine. Through the War Relief Fund we have sent medical aid, vehicles, food, and education supplies to those in need. The needs of the vulnerable will only increase as this crisis continues, and we are committed to partnering with our friends and partners to meet those needs. 

Our story began when we met in Ukraine in 2008. After living on the Gulf Coast of Alabama, we packed up our gang in 2018 and moved to Odesa, Ukraine, a beautiful, historic port city on the Black Sea.

Our heartbeat has always been caring for the vulnerable and fatherless. Our vision is to see Christ proclaimed as we serve vulnerable children and families with national partners and churches. We also serve the unreached deaf community in Odesa and provide training and trauma resources for families and volunteers. Thank you for journeying with us!
