This is going to be a terrific surprise!

Hello again!

I’m so happy to report that friends gave generously to New Thing in honor of The Great Kozovaya’s upcoming 70th birthday….

So the mentally disabled children of Molotkovichi will receive all the laundry equipment and appliances they need. (The little ones will get toys, too!)

I’ll give Kozovaya the news at her 70th birthday party on the 25th.

She will be delighted!

So will the 177 children (including 71 orphans) — and the workers who care for them day and night.

Thank you to all who gave to make this birthday surprise possible. I am grateful.

And of course I’ll send photos from the birthday celebration.

(If you’d like to help other children and workers in the former Soviet Union, please use the links below to make your donation.

You’ll make a beautiful impact!)

Thanks for journeying with us!

Much love,

Doug Brendel
