Today, we pause to honor a life that mattered.

We were recently asked by the family of Salvatore Keyes Pelonero if, in lieu of flowers, donations could be made to Creative Restorations INC… and we humbly said yes.

But this is bigger than a donation.

This is about a man… a father… a son… a human being who was loved deeply, and whose life left an imprint that will never fade.

Sal passed away at just 51 years old in Buffalo, NY, leaving behind four children and a family who will carry his memory forward every single day.

On June 13, 2026, friends and family will gather at Emery Park to celebrate his life—not just in mourning, but in memory, in love, and in the stories that keep him alive.

And that matters.

Because too often in our community, we gather like this far too soon…
Too often we say goodbye when we should still have years left…
Too often addiction steals moments that can never be replaced.

But today—this isn’t just about loss.

It’s about legacy.

It’s about choosing to turn grief into something that helps someone else live.

The Pelonero family made a powerful decision… to have Sal’s life continue to impact others through support for people still fighting their battles.

That’s strength.
That’s love.
That’s purpose.

At Creative Restorations INC, we see this every day—the fight, the setbacks, the comebacks, the hope. And we also see the reality:

We still have an uphill battle in our communities.

But because of people like Sal… and families like his… we don’t stop fighting.

We honor him by continuing the work.
We honor him by showing up.
We honor him by helping the next person get another chance at life.

To the Pelonero family—thank you for trusting us with something so meaningful. We carry that with humility and respect.

Rest easy, Sal.
Your life mattered.
And it still does.

Today in the community — this is what looks like.

Huge shoutout to our Screening & Navigation Team Lead Desiree, who was on-site making real connections and helping community members take the next step toward stability. This is the work that matters — sitting down one-on-one, breaking things down, and getting people actually linked to services through the Medicaid 1115 Waiver.

This isn’t just information — this is access.

Through the 1115 Waiver, individuals can get connected to:

* Housing supports & transition services
* Pre-tenancy & tenancy sustaining services
* Nutrition assistance
* Case management
* Transportation for health-related social needs

📍 Location: Frank E. Merriweather Library
1324 Jefferson Ave, Buffalo, NY 14208

🕓 Time: 4PM – 7PM

💥 On-site enrollment is happening — FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED

If you or someone you know has Medicaid Managed Care, come down and get screened. You could walk out connected to services that directly impact your housing, food, and overall stability.

This is exactly why we do what we do.
No barriers. No runaround. Just real help.

🚨 WE’RE EXPANDING INTO NIAGARA COUNTY 🚨
📍 30B Heritage Court – Lockport, NY

Big things are happening at Creative Restorations INC.

We’re putting the finishing touches on our Niagara County location, and this one hits different. This isn’t just another office… this is a space built for the community, by the community. 💯

Two local high school students stepped up and volunteered their time to help paint and bring this space to life. That’s what it’s all about—giving back, taking pride, and being part of something bigger than yourself. 🙌

From bare walls to a place of purpose… we’re almost there.

Soon, we’ll be providing the same boots-on-the-ground support Niagara County needs:
✔️ Basic needs (food, clothing, hygiene)
✔️ Case management & navigation
✔️ Harm reduction & outreach
✔️ Transportation support
✔️ Real people, real support, real impact

We are READY to serve Lockport and all of Niagara County.

This is just the beginning… 👀
More on the horizon. Stay tuned.
