A story about storms coming, tampa , florida..

Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Sandy, we continue..

Our work vital..Stacey calls, Jim I got reproved on appeal, I can build my house again…years later, her kids will be in college when her home gets rebuilt.

Regulations, specific contractors..new mayors old mayors,  never before happenings, we celebrate her call this morning this Labor Day weekend.

With Stacey, like Janet, llike Eileen, like Tom, like Capt Dalton, like theMcCarthys and the Kellehers, like Erica in NOLA and so many we have continued to help thousands..across the board, from Katrina, El Salvadors earthquake, Haiti, Sandy, Mamoronecks Storm, Hurricane Irene, we are disaster experts…we continue to move ahead…we are ready, we are ready to be blessed to help so many with the thousands of volunteers and lots of love and support.. we are worthy of your support.

 

Our lessons for disster in our country, have yet to be fully learned, we are in a changing world, changing country, changing times for the way the world exists, and how we live within it..without having people ready to respond, we loselives, homes, neighborhoods…

We continue on with our evolution.

 

Along with that today, we prepare for a thousand volunteers for our #911 buildathon! We prepare for our work to continue on Veterans homes, to move 15 veterans into a home we will expand.  Yesterday a veteran mom and 12 year old comes in, I am living in my car she says..

I need to get into living. We want her to have a home!

We have so many who want to dream of a habitat home…Your labor donation helps us move ahead..your congregation company family foundation..

It seems there is always plenty going on, for sure.. people suffering, people huring, trains crashing in Hoboken, terrorists attack in NY,

Hurricanes, tornadoes and more…how do we live, how do we  succeed, and then people come across our door, the housing is horrible, people cant live here, the taxes, highest in the nation, are burdensome….we need change.

It is only through prayer, Gods grace and action we continue! We have to…4000 a month for a shelter is three of our mortgages interest free.

Families suffer, they hurt, they live in fear of being moved around, moved out, rented out with higher income.. and more

Our mission now more than ever is vital..

We also embark on continuing to help our Veterans…Ivan was securing Laguardia last week, one of our homeowners, who served in Afghanistan, called out after the Chalsea bomber did his thing.

Aura calls us today, my daughter and I are homeless or near homeless…I am a veteran, they wont give me HUD vash….

We have to show more love, compassion, help and mission…please contribute to our vital cause..like us on Habitat for Veterans, sponsor our Veterans buildathon week,

Help us help non veterans as well.. many come to us everyday, with Gods grace and your help hands heart and support, we can change this obscene situation.

With gratitude

Building in #chappaqua today, can you believe, 1/4mile away from a former president and secretary of state…1 to 2 miles from where another wannabe president lives/////on the same street, an au pair asks,can I help..and the workers in                                   

In the deli where we eat,there was a shooting…cant afford to live there….this sounds like a television intrigue series…

Whats intriguing is that more people have left new york than ever before…in the daily news today it talks about over 50,000 homeless families, the most ever in NY.

Developers make 600,000 to7000,000 per unit, 1,000,000 per unit,while we built them for a quarter of that,for ownership….we give no political contributions.. as a matter of face, when we move into a neighborhood, we help the whole neighborhood, we have already helped two neighbors there, and have more to go..

We also move into totally run down neighborhoods and make them #NMU….not as sexy maybe as specialized press conferences with high powered agencies…

But we move ahead, from Sandy to #chappaqua, from the lower east side where I was board member of nyc habitat, and worked with the homeless to the tip of Westchster, from Santo Domingo and Haiti, to Somers and the Hill, battle Hill where we build for Veterans…

Its time we take back all the Hills..for the people, so people can live, so that thru #volunteerism, everyone can live in a simple decent home.

Sept 14th, our work continues, more than 400 for our #911 buildathon..

Our world that we are in, we need to make it better everyday, from water to energy, to sustainable food, to

Helping people have a home..its time!

We are in a critical time in our world…presidential candidates who are working .what have they done for affordable home ownership in New York.

The AmericanDream while they have been here…a fair question.

With that in mind we continue…we have to work together to make sure the quality of our communities is making it happen. May God bless all our efforts today.
