HCH's Semi-annual Diaper Drive

Help!ComeHome! recently partnered with organizations in Massachusetts and New Hampshire to carry out its semi-annual diaper drive, great thanks in part to the contributions of generous donors at the Kingston Fair earlier this month! Help!ComeHome! volunteers distributed diapers to various organizations in the Northeast, including Operation Blessing in Portsmouth, NH and Salvation Army centers in Middlesex and Rockingham Counties. All of these organizations do a great solemn work nationwide and are worthy of any donations anyone can give.

Yearly Mid Summer Yard Sale and Diaper Drive!!

Good Afternoon!

Help!ComeHome! has just wrapped up its second Yearly Yard Sale which took place in Kingston, NH on August 6 and 7th 2016  - the same time that the town held its second summer Festival for families. We have delivered and will continue to deliver diapers to Moms in need. In addition, we sold bottled water at the event and bought extra to donate to Rockingham and Strafford County local shelters.

 

THE CHARITY'S WORK IN NY BOROUGHS!

Good Afternoon America!

HelpComeHome! partners and works with many Non Profits across the Nation, and most recently we worked with NewYorkCares. It is the largest Charity in NY, working to help all 5 boroughs to be able to more fully aid those in need. This journey took us to the areas of Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan. The poorer areas cannot afford park custodians, so NYCares enlists the aid of other Non Profits and Individuals to help make these areas a better place for families to come with their children and seniors. We also helped out many Homeless with food, water, and in some cases, monetary aid. Great and Loving Thanks to all The Volunteers that rallied for This Gracious Cause from Maine, New Hampshire, New York and New Jersey!!! (Pictured Kevin Murphy, Allen Ramsay, Alice D Richardson, Keri Gauthier, Mark Shelton, Nancy Bardsley, Darla Gould, Coleen E Mayo, Angela Risden, and Antonio Peppers... Lynn Nicholas stepped away lol) Those who joined us later were fellow Boardmembers Renee Anderson (and her wonderful husband Leon=-) ) and Sarah Cooper, and Michael De La Cruise.

BITTER SWEET MEMORIES FROM COSTA RICA!

Chairwoman and Board Member's Journey To Costa Rica!

Good Evening,

As many people know, myself and another Board member, Mark Shelton from HCH, traveled on a relief mission with The Apopka Ministries out of Central Florida to Costa Rica. This organization for 16 years has brought not only The Message of Jesus to this area, but has also helped the communities here build homes and put food on their tables and clothes on their backs. Needless to say, the journey has been a very great Blessing - but not without heartbreaking tears and sorrow for these beautiful people. I was recently invited to come to their church. No one was in fancy robes or in a fancy building performing ceremonies with pomp and circumstance... But I did see a humble open structure, with some wooden benches and a pulpit. I also witnessed very loving beautiful people who Honor Commandment Number 4, having a wonderful and amazing service! Those lucky enough to have a Bible shared with the person next to them. I never felt so much brotherly kindness and love coming from those who basically live with little or nothing. It was truly Heart-moving.........

Take Care and God Bless!

FOOD BASKETS FOR THE SEACOAST!!! =)

Greetings!

As everyone knows, The NH Seacoast Area has many wonderful non profits and they have helped countless weary souls... but one gap that will never be filled is the feeding of families in need... HCH oftentimes has volunteers come together to purchase food and put together food baskets. By God's Grace, we were able to do so recently. I would like to give a Special Nod to The Director of The Portsmouth Public Library, Steven Butzel, and Barbara Weizmann, for helping us out! Great Thanks to all of The Help!ComeHome! Volunteers who came and rallied at such short notice! A special love and gratitude to a Market Basket Veteran and Great Friend, Fannie Molasky, who really helped out with the huge purchase!! =)

Keeping Kids Safe: Portland, Maine

Good Afternoon!
Recently Help!ComeHome! attended a very special event in Portland, Maine hosted by one of the most important nonprofits in America. It's called Keeping Kids Safe. Its founding member is Mr. Michael O'Neal. He is a law enforcement veteran who witnessed not only the old, familiar dangers that kids and teens face, but also a new, clear, and present danger that is claiming our kids’ attention, sound reason, and unfortunately many of their lives. The unwitting enemy? Technology. This nonprofit brings forth the most excellent programs to help both parents and kids to fully understand how to protect themselves from all clear and present dangers that exist in our society today via technology. Co-hosting the evening with the same purpose was the organization Ridin Steel’s Bikers Against Bullying. Please, parents, look up these two nonprofits. The information they have may one day save your child's life! (Pictured below: HCH Chairperson Alison Mayo; Founder of KKS Michael O'Neal; and Kevin Murphy, HCH Field Tech.)

Take Care and God Bless!

New England 2016!

Good Evening!

Help!ComeHome! has hit the ground running in this new year with various projects focusing on New England. Thanks to the generosity of the citizens of the Seacoast, we are now able this week to make substantial diaper deliveries to local shelters. Recently, we were able to make a special delivery to a South Boston non-profit. Last year, when bringing them food, they said they could really use diapers. They were the reason for starting the project. Also, we have been in Northern Maine to bring food baskets to those who live in rural areas. This undertaking is still ongoing. A warm thanks to Shaws and Walmart of Elsworth Maine who gave their support in our endeavors, in the fight against hunger. We also visit those who are down trodden in hospitals. Recently we went to Beth Israel Hospital to visit and aid someone in the Psychiatric Ward after a call to HCH came in asking for help. Please remember to aid your local non-profits as behind the scenes, they have given countless souls a reason to hope and have turned many tears into smiles... God Bless and Be Safe... (pictured in album: Dedicated worker Olive Fagan at SA Social Services, Mark Shelton and Allen Ramsay of HCH, and The Gracious Pastor of The Church of The Nazarene in Elsworth Maine who aided us in distributing a portion of the baskets in Jesus' Name.)

Flint Michigan and HCH ongoing Water Project

Hello Everyone!

I pray this message finds everyone in safety and in good health. My prayers are with all who have fallen on hard times in these current days... The world news and our country's news haven't been great. As we walk into the future, there is actually a lot to seriously think about - especially when considering at the water crisis of Flint Michigan. The Government is finally being forced to step in... Thank God for all the agencies and folks from California who have come to aid our American Family there. This could well have been ANY of our communities... It's scary... This is one of the major reasons why Help!ComeHome! established THE WATER PROJECT over 3 years ago and continues help prepare communities across the nation for these very kinds of emergency situations.  We foresaw these days by God's Grace... if you want to know more about Flint, please go to http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Flint_Water_crisis to educate yourself and your children. You can also simply google Flint Michigan water crisis! You can also get involved with the HCH water project by going to helpcomehome.org. No matter where you live, please find out how you can best help your community to prepare for any tough times ahead...Take Care...

Good Evening,

Help!ComeHome! has been doing meet-and-greets with non-profits in the Seacoast and surrounding areas. Recently, HCH distributed coats at St. John's Church for their Friday Weekly Common Table Luncheon. In the future, we are hoping to partner with The Church to sponsor a second day for the CTL. God Bless them and all that give a hand in The Great Work of Jesus... Pictured is The Gracious Pastor Rob Stevens of St John's doing the Work of The Lord at The CTL speaking with Help!ComeHome! board member Sarah Cooper.

FILL-A-BUS EVENT!

Hello Everyone!
I pray this day finds everyone happy, safe, and content as we walk forward into 2016. Help!ComeHome! recently partnered with The Coast Bus Company (Head Supervisor, Mr. Rad Nichols) to host a fund raiser called Fill-A-Bus. The Portsmouth U-Haul Company (Jason Becksted, General Manager) also came forward by God's Grace and supplied us with one of their trucks at no charge! This was amazing! I want to give a special thanks to two HCH Board Members who worked tirelessly to put this together: Michelle Impey and Renee Anderson! Special thanks also to our dedicated HCH volunteer, Karen Howe. I also want to warmly thank the Portsmouth Hannafords Manager Alysha Mosher, (PICK AND PAY FOR LIFE FOR THE LOCALS LOL) Portsmouth Shaws Manager Mr.Pelitier, as well as The Portsmouth Rite Aid! Above all, I want to give a special thanks to our own community of Portsmouth and its surrounding towns! Thank you one and all! Every donation is greatly appreciated and will go a long way for so many mothers... Whoever still wants to donate, by all means go to a charity within your community. To donate to HCH, please visit http://www.helpcomehome.org/donate/
God Bless!!!

Navajo Nation Trip!

Help!ComeHome! just finished a heart wrenching journey to Navajo Nation to bring clean drinking water to America's FIRST Americans. The need is great; years of corporate mining in the early 20th century have polluted the Navajo water supply with toxic heavy metals. This "basic" necessity many of us take for granted on a daily basis is a precious commodity on the Reservation. We will be making another journey out there, God willing, within the next 4 months. Any water donations will be most greatly appreciated; there are so many who live in areas with a limited clean water supply. It's a never ending void!!! Look into the history, and you will find out sadly why!!! A special thanks to our Board Member Andrea Arnstein Willie and her WONDERFUL husband Wilbur Willie and their family, who are Native American. They live on the reservation and were able to give us a first hand summary about the needs of the communities. They are also making preparations for HCH's upcoming trip to the Reservation, in which clean drinking water, clothing, and food will be distributed among Navajo homes. Great Thanks!
