Tatiana was fascinated by my beard. This was back when she was just 11. Today she’s sweet 16!
Tatiana is one of the 70 or 80 children with physical and mental disabilities who live in the boarding school at Osipovichi, Belarus.
Every year, it’s our Thanksgiving-season tradition to provide a year’s worth of ordinary medicine-cabinet meds for the children there.
This way, their caregivers don’t have to provide aspirin, Band-Aids, and a long list of other basics out of their own meager wages.
If you’d like to help, the children and their caregivers at Osipovichi will be hugely grateful. So will I.
It only takes an average of $1.44 to provide medicine-cabinet meds for each child for a week.
A gift of $75 meets the need for 1 child for the entire year. (Total goal for all the kids: $6000.)
Anything you can give, large or small, will be a real blessing to them.
Thanks for being part of our Thanksgiving tradition of compassion for the children, and for journeying with New Thing!
Much love,
Doug Brendel
