Santa claus is coming to town, in the form of a home..bringing toys to new habitat homeowners…some people lost their home though in Katrina and two of the families called me yesterday…Rodney and also Devante..they are waiting to get back in their home…they landed here with their families in hotels, displaced like refugees…and have been waiting to get some permanent homes for Christmas..this Mardi Gras season we will raise money for Devante, a six year old and his mom…sharon to get back to their home in Gentile and will go to rehab it in the near future…in feb and march…

Having seen the house, in December I will work with a plumber to start the plumbing and set up an electrician thanks to Habitat for Humanity of Westchester raising support in our events for nola….and thank to our partnership with Jim Pate of Habittat New Orleans guiding us to good contractors….i give the city of white plains and yonkers credit for housing these displaced families many of them…and know that there is a Santa Rodney and Devante for your families and we will help you get settled..

 

So whether you have a little or a lot this Christmas for gifts..know that having a simple decent home is gift enough for some, many who still don't have one, not only because of Katrina but because of the lack of creation of affordable homes here too in Westchester..this is the year it all changes.. God blessyou, help us with the solution , make a donation now and pray about our work and then help us…
