Little Veronica will be in third grade in August. She is a leader among the girls in Children’s ministry at New Breath. She was about 4 years old when her family fled the war in Ukraine and came here and yet nothing about her now would cause one to realize she lived through such trauma.

When she walked into New Breath yesterday, Pastor Alekseyi told me she had cut her hair, 40 centimeters of hair, to donate for women battling cancer. She was happy to do so and smiled when I shared with her that it was a wonderful way to share the love of Jesus.

The example children are for us for simple acts done out of love is something we can tend to overlook. Jesus does not overlook children. During his earthly ministry, he blessed the children and gave a dire warning for anyone who would harm a child about judgement day.

I have a feeling little Veronica will donate more hair in the future. May we all be like little Veronica in acts of kindness.

Thank you for reading. God Bless.

    What a beautiful act of kindness. Veronica is a wonderful example of generosity and compassion at such a young age.

    1. She is a precious little one

  2. It’s incredible how a young girl who has already endured so much can still have such a compassionate desire to help others. I can only imagine the overwhelming emotions and trauma that would lead someone to retreat into a shell after fleeing the horrors of war. Yet, this is not the case with your young friend.

    1. She is precious. Fortunately she is surrounded by love in her family and at New Breath

  3. I think that’s one of the reasons Jesus tells us to come like a child. With the innocence and the desire to do good

    1. We can learn from such examples

  4. A beautiful act of love! 🌺

  5. What an amazing act , she sounds so kind

  6. I did that a long time ago for ‘Children With Hair Loss’. They actually take colored hair whereas the other groups do not.
