From fleeing war and crisis zones &#8211; to children who have been abandoned or even abused by their parents &#8211; to neglected children whose parents (or more often their single-parent household) are doing their best in very difficult circumstances.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During a recent event at which CBN supported its partner Die Arche Bremerhaven, one girl in particular caught my eye: she was boisterous and cheeky. She had big blue eyes and long, wavy hair. At first glance, she seemed like a typical child, until I spent more time with her. I could see that she craved attention. When we first met, she gave me a big grin. I cringed inwardly because I hadn&#8217;t expected her teeth to be rotten. This is avoidable at such a young age. It made me sad that this wasn&#8217;t the case with her.<\/p>\n<p><strong>She had come to the facility with an \u201cempty emotional tank\u201d. But thanks to the attention she received, it was full when she left.<\/strong> I received a simple gift from her that meant a lot to me: she colored a drawing of an ice cream cone and handed it to me. I felt honored that someone who had so little gave so much. I decided to frame it and hang it in my office to remind me to appreciate the little things. I want to pray for the children who are neglected and traumatized.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 120%;\">Help us to make a lasting difference to the lives of many children!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Donate now<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n            (function() {\n                var u=\"https:\/\/spenden.twingle.de\/embed\/genericorganisation\/genericproject\/tw5f771b48d81ff\/form\";\n                var id = '_' + Math.random().toString(36).substr(2, 9);\n                var d=document, g=d.createElement('script'), s=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0], t=d.createElement('div');\n                t.id = 'twingle-public-embed-' + id;\n                document.currentScript.after(t);\n                g.type='text\/javascript'; g.async=true; g.defer=true; g.src=u+'\/'+id; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s);\n            })();\n        <\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A cone of ice cream &nbsp; Small things with a big impact &nbsp; Trauma can have a lasting impact and affect every aspect of life: mentally, spiritually, physically and even emotionally.
