We move ahead..we had a great Veterans blitz build…and the whole week was filled with addressing veterans, helping to build homes, helping to make it a great day and week for all involved…..our work building, no better. Mike and his family cant wait to get in..no question..they are both marines..another marine from yonkers comes in..we want to help, we want a home..can you help us..

God is good..along with that we work to help others, like those in the fire in Mt Vernon, four people died, the others in the house needed an apartment..we are there with them for furniture..no question.

God is good, God is great.. we have every second in life.

We also work in the Sandy areas..another dad last Thursday came in…we have five kids, I had to live in the house with mold growing…my God help us help them.. God is good, you are too, help us help them this holiday season, please..

Election day…election day is important..voted already..

Affordable home ownership is the number one issue to Westchester and nyc today.. we work and move ahead..we see that God has blessed us to help carry this torch,

In the form of a hammer, in the form of a local project committee, in the form of people helping people. To this end we move, we breathe, we continue..

We are blessed to help in Mt Vernon,…we saw four people die in one of our neighborhoods recently…illegal housing, peoples electric turned off.

Energy is one of the most important issues of our time our lifetime…cant have high bills.energy bills can hurt a family..can stop a family from living safely..we saw it this week.

We continue…to build green affordable simple decent homes. God bless you ..join us in the most important issue of our time.

Our Gateways Initiative..

Our work continues..turning over neighborhoods that desperately need help.

Four people died in a fire on S. Bond St….two minutes from our Restore..one minute from our work on Mt Vernon Avenue.

Our Local project committee will continue…it is vital families are careful with their apartments..people are cold, heat is going on..

Important for us to share safe apartment living for families….no question..

We move ahead…it is a sad week. I spoke in Spanish and English to the Domincian club…be safe, make sure your exits are clear..dont use electric heaters..

Four lives lost.  The teenager son survived, yet the others died…

We have only just begun..
