Our CEO - Fr. John

I thought you would like to see a picture of our CEO - Fr. John Bellezza in his robes. That's him at the lectern. The man behind him is the Arch Bishop of the Orthodox Catholic Church of France. Fr. John is an Orthodox Priest with 4 grown children and five grandchildren. He is also the CEO of Holy Angels Children's Society, a charity that maintains a hospice in Port Au Prince, Haiti for desperately ill children. They work diligently to get the children US medical care which in many, many cases means the difference between life and death for these children.

Pat is BAAACCKKK!!!!!!!!

Now that Pat has been OKAYED by her doctors to resume her work with Reys of Hope, (YAY! WE NEED HER BACK IN ACTION!!!) She delivered in the period from June 1st until July 13th:

Baby clothing ~such as a few dresses, some nightgowns, Onesies, outfits and bibs. Also some needed supplies which included bottles, pacifier, bouncy chair, tub, car seat along with a crib and mattess. Baby room decorations, toys and some beanie babies for their two older children were also given. Mr is unemployed and Mrs is not working as she is due to have a scheduled "C" section soon ~Fairfield

Soon to be new mom expecting a baby boy in August given clothes, bottles, receiving blankets, crib sheets, socks and baby toys ~ Bayville

THANK YOU....We want to thank Kimberly who is stationed overseas. She sent us by mail: 7 girl Onesies,7 boy Onesis,1 PJ for a boy,1 blue bib,1 blue hat and socks. We appreciate this because she definitely went the extra mile to help. We thank her not only for her donation but also the fact she is serving our country.

We also need to thank Christine from Jackson who donated, men's and womean's clothing along with children's shoes for boys, baby blankets and books on expecting.

We want to thank Lori from Toms River for the bouncy chair, baby toys and brand new baby bottles.

Thank you to Marcy from Tabernacle who gave us a bag of mostly baby boy clothes - we have lots of little boys being born and due to be born.

Thank you to Bud from Ocean County who donated toys.

We need to thank a caring lady in Lakehurst who donated a $25.00 check so that our work can continue on along with some blankets, Onesies and bibs.

Our Newest Family in Need - URGENT

I got this from Peaches yesterday - PLEASE READ and help us if you can:

"You are the first to know that we have a new emergency type case. Though it's over the bridge it's important....very pregnant mom (will be size 5 after baby, small shoe size 7) due to give birth in less then a month...sex still not seen on ultrasound....

She has 2 boys age 3 and 4; sizes 4 and 5 summer, and 5 and 6 winter, shoe size 9+. She escaped with 6 total outfits for sons and 3 for herself...he followed and terrorized her for months, even burned her apartment up though the police do nothing because he is a city firefighter with cops and judges in his family. She drove until the gas ran out, 6 hours, and started fresh....or is trying to... She needs everything, including baby related. We've got a car seat, swing and possibly a bassinet coming...plus the bouncy chair and an umbrella stroller. The clothes will be limited until the baby's sex is known. Hope its a girl as we have more clothes for them right now as the summer new baby boys clothes are getting wiped out. If not we will work it out...

Thank You from a Pet Lover

Another thank you about the dog food -

I can't bear the thought of her going back to the pound. I appreciate this...I fear that if I do get put out of my home that I will have no choice to put her in the pound so that was also a deciding factor in my decision. For now though we are barely hanging in there but at least she now has food and we can keep her awhile longer. I hope a solution is found soon as I love her to pieces.thanks again for the food Princess should be happy for a while with that. And its a great help.
