The pundits babble on radio..while people wade in water, suffering, no homes, no city, no placement…I cant always understand it, but can turn it off.

The relief effort is vital..we are accepting gift cards for Houstonians, that will assist.  Today is the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina…NOLA is getting hit by rain today as well….we pray for you NOLA and all our friends…there…

Yesterday on News12 we had coverage of our efforts to help. Houston, we are accepting gift cards now, and or donations..we will do our music festival Oct 8^th for helping to raise money for there as well…email me or go to habitatwc.org to make a donation…we have families on the ground, and organizations…Houston@habitatwc.org

Also congrads to Mike Valesquez, who goes to Kuwait, but gets married today..he and his lovely bride an honor to be with him….he is one of our Soldier Sons..One Team one Fight..so blessed that you will be married to such a great woman..we got your six!

With that in mind, the world is fragile, but with Gods help, with prayer and action, we get through it…

We challenge everyone to realize we are only a disaster away…be prepared,..and when people need help..help us help them…God bless you!

The mission continues…on the phone yesterday w Huoston and some of our partners, groups are calling to see what we can do bring supplies, we will be there to help…thank you! we have so many who know we are real, we are supportive and will be there to help!

With that in mind, we are planning  a trip there and will get back shortly to you on exact date. The long term rebuilding like Sandy will take Gutting and mucking, supplies, money, labor, and more to help people get whole……for a long time to come..like we rehabbed in NOLA, and Mamoroneck and Sandy, and Yonkers, we have rehabbed thousands of homes, flooded, and zombie homes, that now families returned too.

Lessons learned…for sure, look at prudent development…cutting corners, costs lives…more to follow on that one..email Houston@habitatwc.org

 

Just returned from an early morning visit in #Portchester looking at the Grove ST Initiative, I love Portchester, we love Portchester…I started there 25 plus years ago, and became on the board, then the vicepresident of the board and then the President of the board…and finally CEO..we built on Grove St in Portchester, and the Grove Street Initiatives are upon us.. we will build again there…and look forward to working with the great Village of Portchester, and all its citizens and members and leaders to help!

 

The county is made up of 47 towns and cities, all over..multiple police forces, schools, administrations..oh vey…but Portchester is a small locally run town, home of Ed Sullivan by the way..and it is on the move..

 

We love Portchester, if you want to get involved there, email me jim@habitatwc.org calme t 914 403 4821…the 30 anniversary moves ahead..

Houston, under water, very sad…the big one was coming, last year in March 2016 dire warnings were made from Ike that Houston was so vunerable..

Along with that our lessons as a country, need to be reviewed..overdevelopment, throwing the dice is so risky and we have risked much, our country, our lives

From Manhattan to Rockaways from Mamoroneck to Rockport and from Houston to Hurricane Katrina areas…we have not thought long range..

The young history of our country has produced greatness and challenges, life and overdelopment, wealth and extreame poverty…to that end we continue

Today we have en email Houston@habitwatwc.org and those wanting to help with our relief…please email..or donate

I am contract with boots on the ground and we will also help displaced Houstonians who end up here. We already have places we know that will be made available to help…

It is a time we need to pray, act, and help one another, our lives and America depends upon it.
