Thank you so much for giving up your time to help give shelter, meals, companionship, laundry services, children's entertainment and kindness to our IHN families these past two weeks. On behalf of the four families and their children: Montero/Sardinas (children Hailey and Yennier); Paden/Scott (children Jahmerah and Naomi); Knuckles (son, Al); and Short/Mackey (children Tavia and Destiny) THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.
There are people who don't have email who deserve mention -- Angela Bukwich, Dot Huber, Barbara Sanok, Roseann Sharo, Margaret Coughlin and the custodial staff of St. Joe's.
A special thanks to the volunteers from Our Lady of Sorrows; the many confirmation candidates who came to entertain the kids almost every night....to the committee members who were my right hand(s): Vince, Liz and Grace Petroccia (setup and breakdown); Chicky and John Visicaro (food shopping); Fran Stanzione (meals); Scott Bertha (overnight hosting); Carmen Acevedo and Mary Boehner (children's activities); Mary Chris Brauchli (OLS liaison); Lynne and Don Blaesser.....to the parish staff for their support, especially Liz Petroccia -- I can't thank you enough for all that you've done; and of course to Fr. Michael.
I want to make mention that if you have any luggage with wheels that you no longer use or know of anyone who might be able to donate luggage, the families don't have any. They carry their belongings in garbage bags. Please let me know if you have any to donate. Will coordinate where to drop off and by when.
Again many thanks for putting your faith into action. I will leave you with a link below of a you tube video of the Servant Song (Brother, let me be your servant, Let me be as Christ to you, Pray that I may have the grace, To let you be my servant, too)
