13 days

A quick update on the children with disabilities and their need for medicine-cabinet meds and supplies:

1. The Matching Challenge expires in 13 days — Thanksgiving Day. 

2. IF we make the $3250 goal, the Challenge will double every donation.

3. Reaching the Challenge goal, we’ll be able to provide a year’s worth of meds and supplies for the children at Osipovichi: aspirin, Bandaids, all the basics for all 80 children. (It’s only 23¢ a day but with 80 kids it adds up.) 

4. I’m grateful for the 4 households who have given a total of $325.89 so far, but we still have a long way to go: As I write, we’re $2,924.11 short.

I hope we have 50 friends who can give $58.48 each.

Or maybe you could be one of a hundred to give $29.24.

Whatever you can do for the children of Osipovichi, I know they — and their devoted caregivers — will be truly grateful.

So will I.

13 days isn’t much time. Please let me hear from you right away. Thank you!

Much love,

Doug Brendel
