The year Christmas pasts 2014…we have volunteers this Christmas Saturday and Christmas days two Jewish families took their time to spend with us, an honor..

The essence of lifes success is to volunteer…like Mike who is out in Breezy helping today, Tuckahoe high school, who is helping and the many churches like the Greek Orthodox Church of new Rochelle

Who helped us this past Thanksgiving. Its time your church, syngagogue or company gets involved..dont you think..or your family..

Or you being home from college,

With that in mind,we work to continue to change homes, to change lives, to be blessed in all we do.

So grateful this Christmas for our new Restore..

What an honor it is to always be helping people….just got off the phone with my good friend JimPate of New Orleans, a great director and friend.  We had helped a number of families in NOLA, who returned, those who got displaced to NY.  We have another family to get back in, but with Sandy hitting, we have been a little busy.

The cost of living, is really pretty amazingly out of control…..in NY. The imprudent overdevelopment creates another nightmare ready to happen….are we ready..for Katrina, for Sandy, for who comes next.

I think not…to that end we move and breathe and fight and build and rebuild.

Grateful to all my construction workers to sesh and Steve, and all grateful to all my board, to all my HOPES volunteers, who help us, build and rebuild…like Tom and Norma and Mary and Jim. I am grateful for Claude Jeudy mon frere dan Haiti, who we keep supporting and tithing, grateful for all our habitat leaders.

To that end we work. And continue………

May God bless you, in all you do. help us help others, the HolySpirit guides us each minute.

As move ahead, I get inspired by the #youth volunteering… the future is bright..we have #volunteers from all over the country..from #Michigan, from #Maryland, from #Virginia, from #NY ,

All over.

It is one of the most exciting things there is..

These youth become Habitat heroes their whole life..

Jess from Pelham High School Habitat club led their first Gingerbread house event last nite raising support for the builds they do..

Americorp volunteer with us on sites and help lead.

#Lizbeth helped with #NewRochelle high school habitat members this Sunday.

At the end of the day we are all put on earth to help..no question…no matter what age.

Then we have our #retirees …youthful in another way,, who help….Tom, Mary, Bill, so many help…

Thank you all!

 

To that end we continue..

In the #Sandy relief efforts…

In fighting for #NY, to have homes, ins rebuilding and building, #green and smart.

We have our two command centers now and a third and fourth are on the way..

Stay tuned…to that end we need #disastercaptains, for our model..we will be making our #restore adaptable in case of a disaster as well as our command center at Chrsit Community Church.

 

We have learned from experiences and now are experts in #disaster relief…from the Nodine Hill fire, to fountainplace fire in New Rochelle to rebuilding Mamoroneck to rebuilding in the Rockaways..

Your support for these efforts is vital. God bless you!
