The week that was that is..

Our builders camp started again this week,more than 100 strong working with us, from all over

Helping to learn how to hammer, make bird houses, tool boxes, tables, bookcases..in our #MakersSpace, and in our

Space where we will redesign Westchester, yes that’s right, in our new Headquarters, God has put us here, now we need you to make a special extra blessing

Gift to us..ten dollars, 100 , 1000 or more..recognition to help us buy and purchase this important Gateways #SoNo NewRo building that will help us

Change the face of Main St, in NewRochelle. This holy place helps us help moms and kids daily,

Like those that are evicted, or potentially evicted, those three moms who came to me this week..or the two seniors homes the Mayor of Pelham asked us to help

Hit and help us to rehab seniors homes, who could not maintain their home…

All of this we move like a SWAT team for good, for LOVE , from the A team to the HOPES team, we make it happen.

With that in mind,  we continue…come visit, as we will be giving tours constantly, both inside and out.

And tomorrow is National Thrift Store day, it gets even better at our #restore.

May God bless you and yours..go to our website, habitatwc.org…the Excitement is building!

Another day, another blessing…another family from our #Gateways neighborhood, calls, can you help us, we have little insulation, we are paying too much and it is cold in the winter..my sister has sickle cell, my father retired..

Please help.

These calls about rehabbing homes, that are in desperate need of repair, are called Brush with Kindness…no question..

We work hard to help so many from Seniors to Vets to average families who are burdened by high taxes, no little about home maintainance in our world of computers…and need our help. This family was in Mt Vernon..last week two in Pelham..another call from Ossining, our Brush with Kindness Repair program is in great need.

We also are in a crisis of lack of affordable home ownership in NY.  We continue, we are blessed to help move ahead. But we can do it without your help…

With that in mind… join us in this vital mission! Habitatwc.org

Early morning, sat..volunteers coming, at the Restore, have been to our mcquestin Gateways community garden, watering..

We love and live by volunteers……..we ask you to pray now, as we see horrific conditions of families who cant afford to live in NY, …working, but the rents are too damn high, zombie houses abound, but take years to turn over, and luxury high rises go up like large weeds within walking distance of our headquarters while people get gentrified..

It is a horrible situation that people and officials pretend they care.. we definitely needs God s grace and guidance during this time,..your prayers and donations and sweat equity..so all in the capital of the world,…can go to bed at nite in a simple decent home.

With gratitude, jjk
