Summary
Join Eva May on the Women’s Radio Station as she interviews Billy, a humanitarian volunteer from California who traveled to Ukraine during the war, and his new bride Roxy, a Ukrainian English teacher. Their extraordinary love story began when they met through a matchmaking app while Billy was delivering aid to front-line areas and refugee camps. After just a few months of meeting across war-torn Europe, Billy proposed in Czech Republic on July 14th, and they married in Ukraine just 10 days before this interview. Billy shares harrowing accounts of his humanitarian work delivering food and supplies to elderly villagers near the Kherson border, often under heavy shelling and missile fire. The couple discusses their cross-cultural relationship, with Roxy helping Billy learn Ukrainian and the Cyrillic alphabet, while they navigate building a life together amid ongoing conflict. Their story represents the unexpected connections and resilience of human spirit that can emerge even in the darkest circumstances of war.
