Car of your dreams?

Sometimes, someone gives you a gift and it’s just ... well ... awful.
 

But once in a while, “awful” can be a true miracle.
 

Today is one of those “awful miracle” days.
 

Workers at a shelter for abused and abandoned children, outside of Minsk, urgently needed a vehicle.

They had no way to buy one.

But then one appeared.
 

It needs repairs. But there’s no way the shelter can afford this, either.
 

I hope our New Thing family can meet the need.

$1500 is all it will take — for work that would cost THOUSANDS in the U.S.
 

Could you be 1 of 30 friends who give $50 to meet the need?

Or be 1 of 20 who give $75?

Or 1 of 15 who give $100?
 

Whatever you can give, I thank you in advance.
 

If you’d like to “see before you buy,” I couldn’t blame you.

Here are some photos, and a very brief video.

(The car runs! You’ll see for yourself — and you’ll hear the chatter and laughter of JOY in the background.)
 

I hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks for journeying with New Thing!

Much love,

Doug Brendel
