Why These Words Exist
My name is Andrey. Nadia is my mother — her name means "Hope." Over 20 years ago, she carried my siblings and me from Ukraine to America for a better life.
For years, she wrote poetry in the Notes app of her phone. Quiet, prayer-like verses about faith, love, and the land she left behind. Nobody knew. I believe she has a God-given gift that was never meant to stay hidden.
So I translated her words from Ukrainian into English, built this site, and published her collections — so that her poetry could finally reach the people it was written for. She is the most kind, selfless, and loving person I know. I hope her words bring you the same peace they've always brought me.
