As i get ready to take my two sons to new orleans, thanks to a great donor who always helps. we will plan a trip for the late winter to bring a group there as part of our continued New Yorleans Express, New York to New Orleans, New Orleans to New York..one dream one team..Our efforts have seen Stacy and her family get housed, Sharon and her family have hope, Mary Luz and her family have a home and the list goes on...

An american city, now needing to be rebuilt...in our lifetime..some aruge no, but as we often hear, i believe charity and help should begin at home in our own country, and this is certainly something tht could happen to any American City, in some ways...like Mamoroneck ..etc..In February we will hold a Mardi Gras event and silent auction, more info to follow...this is part of a Christmas journey if you will, after having seen Millard Fuller the founder and JimmyCarter in Ga. last week, with a "faith" trip, this is more an Action trip to prepare for rebuilding there...needless to say this takes nothing away from our work starting in Yonkers this week...four more homes..four of four hundred Ihope...be blessed as one of my New Orleans families always says to me, as they call me Mr. Jim...be blessed to all of you this holiday season..jjk
