What a child is thinking

When “home” is too difficult or dangerous for a child to stay ... they need a friend.
For children who find themselves in a Belarusian shelter ... you’re a friend. Support for New Thing over the years has helped workers here give kids the love and care they desperately need.
You can never know for sure what a child is thinking... But I think they can feel the love here.
Thank you to all who have been a loving friend, through your compassionate generosity. More adventures to come! Thanks for journeying with us! Much love, Doug Brendel
