Many have asked how I became so connected to Ukraine and the City of Goodness, a place that now feels like home. My story, written by journalist Mitzi Perdue, shares this journey—please take a moment to read it.

 

It all started with a desire to make a difference. As I watched the Russian invasion unfold, my heart was drawn to the suffering in Ukraine. I began humanitarian work, focusing on helping children.

 

Each visit deepened my connection to the people and the land. The City of Goodness became a sanctuary—a place of hope and compassion. After 17 visits, Ukraine is now where my heart resides. The City of Goodness is not just a destination; it’s a homecoming every time I return.
