I have so many people to thank.......

In memory of my grandmother Hazel Florence Elizabeth Specht Tanzola, you and grandpa showed me what love truly was and were always my biggest cheerleaders; here she comes, Ms. My Great Grandmother's Sadee and Angelina; My Grandfather George, Great Grandfather Matteo, and Great Great Grandfather Gregorio; Aunt Linda Tweed; you will always have a special place in my heart, My Grandparents James and Jeanette Tweed. To my husband Neil, thank you for your strength to continue this ride of life with me. The Turkot's you are all the first to help me getting me started on this journey. Lawrence and Debra Casha thank you for being my rock and for adopting me into your family. To my Russian, Ukrainian, Ashkenazi Jew and all the ancestors that suffered to make sure I had a better life then they did, your sacrifices have not been forgotten. You have all inspired me and kept me going in life, without all of you and the love I wouldn’t be alive today. I am strong because of all your strength. Grettel Hernandez and my family in Costa Rica; TQM. To my family that adopted me from Overlook Hospital, my fellow light workers, I love you all. Dr. Ryan C and all the other medical professionals that never turned their back on me and advocated for me when I couldn’t do it for myself. Samia, you capture true love though the lens. Joe and Judy Parenta, I have known you for 42 years and we still have that love; Rachael Parenta, my first friend (that says it all). The Princeton House trauma family, thank you. My mother Dara and father George, you created one strong woman will never stop fighting for the rights of others. Carol Katz Beyer you are the first person that opened up all these avenues for me and have still been a support. Jessica Blanchard Holton thank you for all the education, you are the best at what you do and I am so grateful.

Please donate what you can and help us help those in need. All donations should also be labeled “July Donations” and left on the table closest to the garage.

2. Please also note that we will be taking the month of August off. If you are planning on donating new or gently used clothing, you are asked to do so during the remainder of July or hold your items until September. Please private message us for drop off address in Montville. Thank you.

Our collection for the month of July will be ending soon and we are still desperately in need of diapers and new or gently used backpacks to support our friends at Future Star Productions help children in need. I’ve been told that Five Below, Amazing Savings, Target and Walmart have some great prices and many of you have been dropping off donations at our location in montville. Please donate what you can and help us help those in need. All donations should also be labeled “July Donations” and left on the table closest to the garage. My goal is to see this collection quadruple in the amount of specific items that we are accepting for them. Please help!!

Hey Supporters! Please join me in celebrating and thanking Jonah, a young man with wisdom and generosity far beyond his years.

"I have always had a love for sneakers and have been interested in all different types. So, when I learned we had to do a project to help our community I chose collecting sneakers for the homeless in places like Newark, Paterson and NYC. I always love it when I order a new pair of shoes and they show up. So while I was doing this project I learned that there are a lot of people who never feel that joy. Some people don’t even have any shoes to wear. This project made me feel good because it helps me know that even at 13 years old, I can help others and change people’s lives." -Jonah
