Success Report!

We've loved the children and workers at Osipovichi in Belarus for a long time.

This photo was taken on my first-ever visit, almost 10 years ago.

When we learned they had no money for ordinary medicine cabinet meds and supplies, friends of New Thing started helping.

The American Thanksgiving holiday became our time each year to meet this simple but very real need.

This year, with a $6500 need, we received a Matching Challenge:

Give half the total by Thanksgiving Day, and every gift would be doubled to meet the entire need.

34 households gave generously, and made the goal! 

God bless all who gave.

Every gift given will now be matched dollar-for-dollar, the impact of every donation doubled.

The children — the workers devoting their lives to their care — will be so grateful.

There will be a little bit of an American Thanksgiving in Belarus this year, thanks to you.

At Osipovichi, they’ll count their blessings, and you’ll be on their list.

Thanks for journeying with New Thing.

Have a terrific Thanksgiving!

Much love,

Doug Brendel
