UPDATES 2019!!! =)

Good Afternoon,

Help!ComeHome! has covered a lot of ground already this year in Jesus’s Name abroad, here in the New England states, as well as in NYC working with New York Cares... Team members also brought a load of water and goods to a few shelters in Florida... Thank God for these gracious folks! The woman who won the billion dollar lottery prize has dedicated a portion of her win to helping Alabama... That allows so many charities like ours to help out some of the other many endless middle class communities that make up small town America... Follow us as we prepare for our spring and summer excursions back to NYC, Philadelphia, and the Mid-Atlantic states. In June, we will also be going on the yearly journey to Costa Rica, headed up by Pastor Scott Shelton and his wife Gail. If you have any questions about our work or would like to join us in our efforts, don't hesitate to reach out! We would love to have you on board!

Take Care and God Bless!

BROTHERLY LOVE IN GIVING

Good Afternoon,

As we all walk into what seems to be a future of great uncertainty for many Americans, I pray that everyone would stop for a moment to count your blessings, no matter how small or large. So many at this time are without a roof over their heads, have no adequate food on their tables, or suffer from failing health without any insurance or hope. Some are even without clean clothes. Countless others are unable to make ends meet as a result of jobs being taken over by robot technology. Right here in America, many are without clean water!! The list goes on and on before God and increases day after day... no matter where you are, remember to help the less fortunate if you truly have something to give... No one has walked one mile in anyone's shoes and judgement is God's.

Take Care and God Bless,


The Team At Help!ComeHome!

WORK IN THE NORTHEAST MARCHES ONWARD IN JESUS NAME!

By the Grace of God, Help!ComeHome!’s efforts have mainly been focused the in Northeast. In the past few months, we’ve brought our love, prayers, hope, food, and bill relief to countless hearts in our American Family... We’ve also lent a helping handing to many of our dear school Departments... This summer we will be leaving on our yearly journey into various cities and towns across America... Our love, tears, and prayers go out to Alabama, where we are planning an emergency trip.

Special Thanks to Sarah Cooper, Mark Shelton, Karen Howe, Coleen Mayo, Michelle Impey, Lynnette Nicholas, Terry Flower, Carolyn Thomas, Rossine Mayo, Matthew Walsh, Allen Ramsay, Darla Dee Gould, and Renee Anderson 🙏❤️

HONORING OUR CORE VOLUNTEERS!

Good Afternoon,

I pray this message finds everyone well. Here at Help!ComeHome! we always try to honor our very own "Minuteman." They are a special group of volunteers who lay down their lives continuously and effortlessly for our American family in Jesus’s Name whenever called... Beautiful love and thanks to our core team: Lynnette Nicholas, Karen Howe, Renee Anderson, Melba Martell, Rossine Mayo, Coleen Eagan Mayo, Michelle Impey, Mark Shelton, Antonio Peppers, Allen Ramsay, Carolyn Thomas, Matthew Walsh, Darla Dee Gould, Alice Derochemont Richardson, Michael Damour, Sarah Cooper. Many thanks also to Terry Risden, Larae Cantave, Kevin Murphy, Mike De La Cruz, Terry Flower, Bear Freeman, Keri Gauthier, Thomas Cooper, and Shawn Day, who are always ready to lend a helping hand when needed.

THE NEW YEAR AND FUTURE AHEAD... AMEN

Good Morning America!
As everyone walks into the future of yet another year, please remember to visit, see, love, and physically reach out and hug those that are near and dear to you. Please spend quality time with those whom you highly regard in your hearts... Artificial Intelligence is a wonderful tool when seeking your loved ones out, when trying to help people from a distance, or when reconnecting with those you haven't seen in years.... But please do not EVER forget that human contact and interaction is a gift from God. More and more with younger generations, this gift is being lost to machines... Help!ComeHome!, no matter how long it takes, tries to help countless souls in need by using vehicle which was here in the beginning of mankind: love through human contact... That which seems tedious is actually the way normal life is and was meant to be. It will always be the perfect way for us... God bless everyone no matter which way you choose or have chosen... If you choose the robots, God Bless You. If you choose the way it was in the beginning, God bless you. God bless one and all... You are in our thoughts, hearts, and prayers… Amen

REMEMBERING AT ALL TIMES THE PLIGHT OF THE WEARY AND DOWNTRODDEN IN AMERICA...

Good Afternoon One and All,

Thank God for anyone who has the blessing of being surrounded by loved ones or having a roof over your heads and food on your tables every day of the year, especially during your seasonal celebrations... Some Americans aren't that blessed and must depend on the kindness of others due to horrible circumstances through fate.... This is how some of our beloved American family who are still feeling from natural disasters are living through these times... In tent cities... Thank God For the patient love of the Panama City Police, the love of the nonprofit Samaritan's Purse, the love of Pastor Andrews of Panama City, and the steadfastness of Trisha Brown from Tallahassee, who represents the Florida Poor People's Campaign Assoc. God Bless them and countless others... 😔🙏🏾

Take Care and God Bless

WISHING OUR AMERICAN FAMILY THE BEST AT ALL TIMES.....

Good Morning to All!

I sincerely hope before God that everyone is feeling loved, safe, blessed, and with those they truly care for as they go forth celebrating their own personal holiday... Savor every moment with your loved ones no matter what day it is... Never forget the blessing of being on American soil.... and whether you have a lot or a little, Thank God you are not in a country such as this trying to live and celebrate ❤️ Please remember our own citizens recovering from natural disasters!!

Take Care and Be Safe ☮️

HCH TRAVELING THROUGH SOUTHERN AMERICA AND HURRICANE AFFECTED AREAS

Good Afternoon,
The Charity has been working in areas of the US ravaged by Hurricanes. Here, we have given our love, our time, our tithes, and a truck load of supplies. The aftermath, clean-up, and rebuilding is just in its infancy stages. It’s truly heartbreaking... Many people take so much for granted. You never know what a day might bring as we each walk in our lives before The Lord... anyone could find themselves facing a tragedy such as this... you just don't know.... We will dedicate our next posts to our American family affected in these areas... The press brings so much to its viewers and readers, thank God, but there's nothing like the naked eye, hearing stories, giving hope, and drying tears along the journey in the Name of the Great King...

God Bless and Take Care

WORKING TOGETHER WITH THE PINE STREET INN!

Good Evening!
As this year winds down, many people find themselves without homes, jobs, a car, their health… the list goes on and on. Nonprofits and charities are now needed more than ever before. Every year, HCH partners with various organizations but none makes quite an impact in New England like The Pine Street Inn in Boston, which Aids 1000's of Americans every year. Here are some memories from when we recently worked together with their volunteers. God Bless and Take Care... Special Thanks to Terry Flower, Darla Dee Gould, Alice Derochemont Richardson, Allen Ramsay, Mark Shelton, Sarah Cooper, Lynnette Nicholas (me lol), Tony Peppers, Karen Howe, Carolyn Thomas, and Coleen Mayo and our Wonderful Chairwoman: Ellie Mayo

HCH and Burlington Stores

Good Evening, America!

For those of you who don't know, Help!ComeHome! has been chosen to become a Community Partner of Burlington Stores (formerly Burlington Coat Factory). Burlington Stores provide both new and gently used clothing to the nonprofit organizations with whom they partner; HCH is now qualified to receive donations from the 524 nonprofit organizations within their charity network.

This new partnership will help us to continue in our mission to meet the needs of the homeless, destitute, and afflicted in the Name of Jesus.

Burlington Stores have already given us a literal truckload of new winter clothing items, kitchen supplies, and other assorted merchandise to distribute in our annual winter outreach efforts. Many of these items will go directly to hurricane victims in Florida and the Carolinas.

Take a look at some pictures of the HCH crew at the Burlington Store opening and ribbon cutting ceremony :-) Many thanks to all of our volunteers!!

Shout out to Mark Shelton, Allen Ramsay, Michelle I. Mayo, Coleen Mayo, Larae Cantave, Darla Dee-Gould, Alice DeRochemont, Shayna DeRochemont, Terry Flower, Lynnette Nicholas, Karen Howe, Renee Anderson, Carolyn Thomas, Mike Damour, Kevin Murphy, Matthew Walsh, Terry Risden, Evon Cooper, Sarah Cooper, and of course our chairwoman, Ellie Mayo.

MEMORIES FROM JOURNEY THROUGH CALIFORNIA: PART ONE! =-)

Help Come Home

Good Morning,
HCH would like to continue to share our memories from 2018. Here are some from our travels through California, where we met and partnered with several new organizations! Many Members of our American family helped along the way in Jesus's Name... Special thanks and love to Darla Dee Gould, Lynnette Nicholas, Matthew Walsh and his dear friend William, all of our new friends including Lydia Demi, and the lovely Nina DeRochemont, who filled all hearts with hope and peace in the journey.

God Bless and Be Safe!

PREPARING TO EMBARK INTO AMERICA HELPING WITH FLORENCE AND MICHAEL'S VICTIMS IN JESUS NAME

Good Morning America! As the charity prepares to depart from New England to embark on another journey into our dear, great land helping to fill a never ending void, we now go forward to help those who facing Judgement from Hurricane Florence and now Hurricane Michael. We have our heads bowed in prayer for all and are eternally grateful for all nonprofits and charities from the greatest to the smallest who have taken up the Cross to bring love, hope, and life to those who are fallen. In Jesus’s Name we come... Truly... Amen

God Bless xo

BEING MINDFUL OF THOSE WHO SUFFER EVERYDAY!!

Good Afternoon America!

We have so many in our prayers at this time, especially those who affected by the Judgement of Hurricane Florence and Her Fury... our hearts go out to all with great sorrow... Thankfully, here in the US, there are countless charities, nonprofits, and beautiful citizens that rally to help most of our American Family when needed!!! Help!ComeHome! will also be helping and partnering with sister charities and organizations to aid in a NEVER ENDING and desperately needful cause... Wherever you may be, if you have a little extra to spare, it can make a HUGE difference in the life of a person with nothing!!

God Bless and Take Care!

The Dire Importance of Jesus and His Love

Why is the mission of Help!ComeHome! so important? This article (“Americans Want to Believe Jobs Are the Solution to Poverty. They’re Not.”) from The New York Times Magazine gives some answers. HCH and organizations like it will only become more relevant as American poverty becomes increasingly inescapable.

Passing judgement without having all of the facts can only lead to separations, divisive groups, and prejudice everywhere. Please try to follow the example of Jesus and His Charity in Brotherly Kindness. We try. Thank you.

HELPING OUR LOCAL FAMILIES IN NEW ENGLAND! :-)

Good Evening America!
I pray all is well for many... there are those in every community that fall on hard times and must depend on the kindness of charities... Remember the unwritten law of kindness from Above as we come into the fall and winter months... if you have a little extra, help your community by giving to your local charities nationwide... They are a Godsend for so many... In recent weeks, Help!ComeHome! has been back in New England partnering with local organizations to help feed and clothe our dear citizens... One of those noprofits is the Seabrook Community Action Program, which has tirelessly helped hundreds of folks... A special thank you to Larae Cantave, Naara Cantave, Johannah Cantave, Tommy Caswell, Michelle Cowles, George (Bear)Freeman, Mark Shelton, Shawn Day,Karen Howe, Michelle Mayo Impey, Lynnette Nicholas, Carolyn Thomas, Raymond Harris, Coleen Mayo and our Chairwoman, Alison(Ellie) Mayo!! Also Thank God For the Portsmouth Panera Bread for their open hearts.... Many homeless were fed in Rochester, NH because of their donation!!! God Bless!

THE JOURNEY IN PICTURES CONTINUES.....

Good Afternoon!!

As we previously posted, Help!ComeHome! recently made one of the most life-changing and heart-wrenching trips across our great land... In hidden and sometimes forgotten small-town America, we introduced our organization and brought hope and help to the weary... Because it was such a long journey, we will share it in pictures... One of the most memorable parts was the time spent in Oregon. The Chairwoman, Ellie Mayo and one of our Field Techs, Alice Derochemont Richardson, have a beloved childhood friend there, Bobby Baker! It was a beautiful and tearful reunion... Thank God for the hospitality of his amazing wife, Leanne! Our prayers and our love are forever with them, especially now as Bobby recovers from a serious, life-saving medical procedure!! Here are some of our memories, including places where we introduced the charity!! God Bless!

JOURNEYINGS ACROSS AMERICA!!

Good Morning America!

I can only pray this message finds everyone well... The Charity is well into the work for 2018 and has traveled into various states across the US bringing love, support of all kinds, water, and hope! We also got many homeless off the streets!! Our journey began in Massachusetts and continued to Florida, Maryland, Ohio, Utah, Montana, Oregon, California, Navajo Nation, and Oklahoma! The Team and I then came back into Boston for our very first major fundraising event, which went off without a hitch!! We will be showing a picture-story of our journey within these next few weeks!! Special thanks with love to Alice Derochemont Richardson, Darla Dee Gould, Michael Damour, Matthew Walsh, Sarah Cooper, Thomas Cooper, Michelle Mayo, Coleen Mayo, Mark Shelton and Allen Ramsay !! Thank The Lord for your beautiful hearts!! God Bless and Take Care!! xoxo

HCH Benefit Concert a Success in Jesus's Mighty Name!

Good morning, America!

Here at HCH we've been relishing in the memories of our very first major fundraising event. As team leader, I had been working with a dedicated team of volunteers, planning for, and anticipating the event for months. To see everything come to fruition has we had envisioned was a true blessing from the Great King Above. 

Last Tuesday, residents from the Greater Boston Area and beyond came to Bemis Hall in Lincoln for an evening of music performed by HCH volunteers Thomas Cooper, Sarah Joyce Cooper (myself), Roland Clark, Darla-Dee Gould, and pianists Rachel Goodwin and Tae Kim. Featuring a variety of selections and genres, the program reflected the diversity of the individuals and communities HCH serves on a regular basis throughout the country. All proceeds from the concert have been set aside to support HCH projects throughout the country and Navajo Reservation.

The concert would not have been a success without the many volunteers who gave time, energy, and heart to make Tuesday night possible. We'd like to offer our deepest thanks to Michelle I. Mayo, Mark Shelton, Coleen Egan, Lynnette Nicholas, Matthew Walsh, Alice Richardson, Darla Dee-Gould, Roland Clark, Thomas Cooper, Rachel Goodwin, Allen Ramsay, Carolyn Thomas, and Bear Freeman. Of course without Chairwoman and HCH founder Alison "Ellie" Mayo, whose prayerful guidance has directed this charity since its conception, none of us would have the privilege or opportunity to serve in such a worthy cause.

Many thanks to the Boston Collaborative for partnering with HCH, helping cover production costs, helping us meet deadlines, and spreading the word. We are so grateful for the crucial role you played in making this concert happen.  

Take care and Godspeed!

Sarah Joyce Cooper

A WORD FROM THE CHAIRWOMAN...

FullSizeRender21.jpg

Good Morning!
I can only pray this message finds everyone safe and well... This year sadly has come with great sorrow, as our Team has witnessed many loved ones, including seniors, family members, and old friends, pass on in The Lord Jesus... many parts of our agenda were postponed as a result... Most recently, Help!ComeHome! has been traveling through western America. We will be sending updates on the Journey shortly... please remember to visit and call those you love, because human contact is God's special gift to mankind. Besides this, most importantly, no one knows what the future holds... technology is useful if you aren't able to immediately see someone because of illness or distance... but if you are able, get out and see your loved ones and old friends in person before it's too late.... God Bless ♥️
