More Than Restoration — We Help Restore Lives
At Water and Fire Restoration Team (WAFRT), our work isn’t just about repairing homes. It’s about rebuilding lives and creating real change where it’s needed most.
From Building Mansions to Building Hope
Before founding WAFRT, Yuriy was a successful luxury homebuilder. He had everything most people dream of, but inside, he felt empty. The money was flowing, but the meaning was missing. Seeing people on the streets, struggling with addiction, hunger, and hopelessness, while he worked on multi-million dollar homes, was something he couldn’t ignore.
He found himself on the edge of losing his faith, asking, “What is the point of all this if people are suffering and no one is helping?”
So he decided to stop waiting for someone else to step in.
He Took Action, And Never Looked Back
With no real help available, Yuriy started his own outreach, using his time, skills, and resources to serve people living on the streets. He began by offering support to the homeless and those fighting drug addiction. That hands-on effort grew into strong partnerships with organizations like:
- Life Change Centers of Texas – helping individuals recover from addiction through faith and structure.
- God Will Provide Texas – a ministry focused on building spiritual strength and serving the community.
A Heart for Orphans in Mexico
Yuriy’s mission expanded beyond the U.S. when he learned that Mexico has no foster care system. Children without parents are often left to survive alone on the streets. That’s why WAFRT proudly supports the God Will Provide Orphanage in Mexico, which gives these children shelter, food, education, and love.
It's Not Just One Man, It’s a Movement
While this journey started with Yuriy, he’s not alone. Everyone at WAFRT shares in the mission. Many team members volunteer through the ministry, others support nonprofits, disaster relief, or help in personal, meaningful ways. The heart behind WAFRT is built on service, faith, and community, together.
WAFRT Gives Back
Today, WAFRT donates a meaningful portion of profits to support all these efforts. From our job sites to our outreach programs, we believe real success is about helping others stand back up, not just fixing buildings.
For Yuriy, this isn’t a side mission. This is his calling. He found purpose not in wealth, but in lifting others up, and that purpose is now at the heart of everything we do.
Helping Hunt, Ingram, and Kerrville After the Flooding
When major flooding struck communities in Hunt, Ingram, and Kerrville, our team responded immediately. We delivered emergency supplies to residents who were displaced or impacted by water damage. These included essentials like bottled water, hygiene kits, clothing, and cleaning supplies—everything we could offer to help people get back on their feet.
We’re grateful to say another truckload of supplies is already on the way. Donations have been coming in strong, and we’re committed to getting them where they’re needed most.
We also encourage our employees to volunteer their time during events like this. Whether that’s helping clear debris, delivering goods, or offering a listening ear, we believe in showing up—wherever and however we can.
As a Christian company, we are not here just to make a living. We’re here to serve. Our mission is to help people recover and rebuild, one person, one family, and one home at a time.
