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.

I cannot thank our supporters enough, for once again coming out in full force and supporting our efforts with donations for the children connected with Future Star Productions in the Bronx. Your donations of toiletries, diapers, backpacks and even clothing, will be making a positive difference in the lives of these young people and their families. Rita Jones, I now leave this all to you to distribute accordingly!
Thanks so much everyone. Enjoy the remainder of your summer.

We are now officially on vacation for the entire month of August. This means that we will not be accepting donations of any kind at this time. If you do have clothing donations that you are unable to hold onto through the remainder of the summer, our friends at Howard's Mission, The Gellman Foundation in Cedar Knolls will happily accept them. Thank you all. Enjoy the remainder of your summer.

Two important reminders regarding The Hazel Project and for our very easy drop off address in Montville. Thank you:

1. Our collection for the month of July will be ending on Thursday of this week and we are still desperately in need of diapers and new or gently used backpacks to support our friends at Future Star Productions - helping children in need. Please donate what you can and help us help those in need. All donations should also be labeled “July Donations” and left on the tables 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. If you are looking to drop off clothing donations in August, we ask you to support our friends at Howard's Mission, The Gellman Foundation in Cedar Knolls.

Grateful to Tracy and Carmine who both donated a TON of items to support Future Star Productions. WOW!!

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!!

Grateful to Agnes and Lauren for purchasing these items for our July collection.
