25 years…anniversary..continues…from Sandy assistance now to more than 800 families, to helping fire victims..to building homes for Vets..to changing the lives of a janitors family..
To seeing single moms with the strength of ten men…to becoming revitalizers of whole neighborhoods…..an amazing journey.
Today companies like Greystone capital come out and help make us change a neighborhood..they will bring one hundred strong, a small army to our sites..
They will help us build and rebuild..they will help us paint and plant, hit nails and sow seeds..share love and bring hope..in team building, in corporate giving back and more..
They come rain or shine, in hope and in help..in giving and in sharing..so many do that..
And our individuals come regularly all the time…our Hopes retirees, our weekend warriors, our regular high school leaders..
Our congregations..they all make up our success..for sure..
With that in mind, we embark on the next 25 years, encouraging us to go green, to make a world with less flooding, green homes, green gardens, less concrete and more love….
Last nite I visitied four families in Yonkers, who just moved in…they waited till we could put a sewer in..till they could put a long line connection, till the earth froze over it seemed..
But they are in…their homes beautiful..their faces beaming…a family member said never did we really how blessed we could be…they are blessed.. you are part of the blessing…thank you!
