Our Cause

Chernobyl started it all. Most of the radiation fell to the north of Ukraine, in the land of Belarus. People got sick. Kids have underdeveloped immune systems, so they suffered the most. The nation took a huge hit.

​

This work, officially and gratefully recognized by the government of Belarus, is all-volunteer in the U.S., so every penny you donate goes into Belarus. Any contribution you make to New Thing is eligible for U.S. income-tax deduction to the full extent of the law.
