When you step out of the shower…

When you step out of the shower, you reach for the towel, right?

Now imagine — instead of your bath towel, all you find is a thin dish towel, from your kitchen.

Happy? No.

But this is how 118 children are living, in the town of Novogrudok, in Belarus.

They’re speech-impaired children, being cared for in a year-round boarding school.

Their “bath towels” are miserable, thin, old dish-towel-sized rectangles of fabric.

I hope we can fix that.

A friend of mine has offered us a Matching Challenge.

If you give enough for a BIG, FLUFFY bath towel for one of these children, he and his friends will match your gift.

meet the children here — and get all the details on the Matching Challenge.

I think you’ll love these kids!

(Widen your browser to enjoy the photos fully.)

Or you can simply give a tax-deductible contribution to New Thing here.

And everything you give will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, up to the total of the Challenge.

I hope you can help.

Thanks for journeying with us!

Much love,

Doug Brendel
