Often many state I should write a book…my blog to a certain extent adds pages of pages…How do we change our neighborhoods and substandard living to Green rich living in our Urban areas.  How do include affordable homes in towns that systematically have denied people of color and race, ethnicity, usually guided by the portals of realtors doors…and out the door..to places of inclusion….

Many stories come to mind, including changing parks back to active places of engagement and health and green space, from concrete jungles and barren  activity less areas…to empty burned out homes that can be made whole again with Habitat.

This is our daily challenge…as well as entering IVY league towns, if you will ones, where the kids are going for the gold of Goldman Sachs and IBM..while other urban kids have no after school programs in the next municipality  This is our challenge of Habitat of Westchester..the book is starting, going to print, stay tuned… God bless you all..pray for those who have no heat tonite, unsafe neighborhoods, burned out homes next to theres..and no HOPE, but there is HOPE WITH YOUR HELP..

Now more than ever..thanksgiving is every day in Habitat!  I have so much to be grateful for…like from you and others…who help us…or the Lanza family foundation, or the Keller Williams realtors office..or the Integramed company..all go great to us!

We are so grateful…never before have we seen the need for foreclosures to change the need for affordable housing to be created..the need for love to be shared, and greed to be dared…

Time for us to change it during this time of HOPE AND HOMES FOR THE HOLIDAYS!  Also thanks to Jazzy Jeff of Sony Musics gospel label, as well as for those who will sing with Rev David Lyelry and I at the Martn Luther Kng gospelfest…

Today we welcome Holy Child students volunteering with us..helping us..in White Plains..building with us…

 

WE need to pray for Gods power to take over our communities..for action to take place and communities to be rebuilt..join us!  IN ALL WE SAY AND DO WE GIVE THANKS FOR YOUR PRAYERS, YOUR SUPPORT..DONATE TODAY, WE CAN HELP ANOTHER FAMILY WITH YOUR HELP!

What a week..we started off with two articles in the newspapers..one in the Sunday Real estate section of the NY Times, the other honoring Bill DeKnaetel volunteer of Eastchester..

Then we were able to help welcome so many volunteers this Holiday Thanksgiving week.

We also presented at the Flood summit and am proud to speak up and create a Facebook page on The Mamoroneck Flood Watch..stay tuned. We have a world to change..a first responders family called and asked us to help yesterday.. an email from Tajikistan and Haiti say thank you for our support. The city of Yonkers calls us to help rehab a home..

May God bless you, help us with our HOMES FOR THE HOLIDAYS NOW!

Election DAY 2010..a debaucle of 3.5 billion dollars spent..not one foreclosed home save..not a job created..what could we have done with that money…how many homes built..how many lives changed..time to help us get back to basics with the HABITAT MISSION..now that we will be building homes, aggressively across the country and county, time to  make it unacceptable for substandard housing and homes here….we will change it..

Last nite at our volunteer orientation which occurs at 6pm..a photographer, a lawyer and son and a bicyclist join us..how do we help..where can we help.

Plenty of places….from

MENTORING ..with our families

HELPING WITH EVENTS..like our Buildathon, our WALK FOR HOMES, HARLEY DAVIDSON EVENT, AND MORE…

BUILDING.. homes, weekly, daily as much or as little

LOOKING FOR REAL ESTATE, research, helping us check out what we can do…

And building communities again, strong, green, healthy for the future..

SO thank GOD election day is almost over, time to get the real work done…we need your help, prayers, donations, now…God bless,jjk
