Todays drop off
These items went to a Sandy victim.
She was unable to go get articles due to no transportation.
\\
cleaning agents,mop & scrub brushes
in the clean up kit that RED CROSS
put together for Sandy victims.
I wonder

to get items due to lack of transportation?)

THE DIFFERANCE OF AN EMAIL
Just read 2 emails that were sent to our holy angels
email.
no.1 email(the clothes for my son they fit him perfect
now where are the jeans I asked for?I told you I am also in
need)response;We do not have a warehouse nor store we can
only give what people have been generous enough to donate to
us.You should be grateful for what you have recieved.We have
your request written down and when and if we get some
we were planning on giving them to you.In the meantime be patient
or put a request on craigslist
no 2 email(Hello this is Sister Kathleen.Thank you so so much
for the new sleeping bags.We gave one this afternoon to a woman who
lives on the reservation in her van.The box of baby items went straight
to our center on the reservation.The center is filled with children and
babies.The parents suffer from abuse and are unable to care for them.
The center is vastly underfunded.A box of children's clothes and
supplies once in a while through out the year would be a blessing.
May God bless each and everyone who made this possible.
Sister Kathleen
response(We are very pleased we could help alittle.Wish we could do more.
We will put a request on our blog for baby and children items and just
maybe someone will read it and send a few items your way.God Bless

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
AMERICA's 10 poorest states
N.C.,Alabama,Kentucky,S.C.,Montana,Louisiana,West Virginia,
Tenn.,Ark., and Mississippi
AMERICA's 5 richest states
Mass.,Conn.,New Jersey,Alaska and Maryland
2012 hunger and poverty fact
Hispanics 26.6%
Blacks 27.4%
Romania & USA are the only 2 countries that have more than
20% of children living in relative poverty.RELATIVE POVERTY means;
a child living in a household where the disposable income is less than half
of the national median income.It is not the same as the hardships in 3rd world countries.
However,it is still a travesty.

More statistics on the Appalachian people
America's oldest mountains are rich in its natural beauty,but ;also 1 of the poorest .
Central Appalachia has 3x the national poverty rate.,epidemic of prescription drug abuse, shortest life span in the nation,toothlessness,cancer and chronic depression.Many support their families with selling moon shine, or day labor.There are some Baptist churches in the area that actually handle snakes,also called sign followers.Although its illegal to handle snakes they still continue to do it.Alot of their water is polluted with acid run off.Unemployment is 45%.Due to low education and poor skills it is difficult for them to leave their community.We are trying to find someone who we could possibly work with in delivering a bunch of winter coats and gloves to those in need.We have just been blessed with alot of extra coats. And we would really like to share it with those who are struggling.Even if they are outside of our area.

Homeless
There are an estimated 800 million people around theworld suffer from hunger.Each year 15 million children die from hunger.There are 700,000 people
homeless in USA.The number has grown
20% from 2007-2011.In just New Jersey
there was 7,847 adults & 4,117 children
in the year 2010.It has greatly increased
since the economy has gotten worse.
Many of the homeless suffer from Mental illness or substance abuse.Others have lost their jobs and have not been able to find employment.Many people turn to Food Pantries to get food to help them survive.A food pantry is a charitable organization that collects can and fresh foods.Food here is free for those in need.Without donations they would be closed.So next time you sit down and eat think of those less fortunate.If you have extra please donate to your local
food pantry.
Statistics on Appalachian Poverty
Appalachian Americans arenot generally discussed in text books or in classes.
They are the invisible minority.Appalachians
have low education,high poverty rate
and poor health.Their favorite drink
is mountain dew.They drink so much of it
that alot of the adults and children have
bad teeth.They are even known for giving
babies this to drink when they can not afford
to buy milk.
Some common racial slurs they hear from
others outside of their areas are (hill billies,red necks,white trash and trailer trash.Its bad enough for these people to deal with their poor economy nether mind dealing with the ignorance
of people about their plight.
We are considering the possibilty of sending
some of these people much needed Winter clothes also.Since we have been blessed with an abundance of clothes etc..

she has found more boxes for us.A church
in Manasqan was over whelmed with boxes
for Sandy victims.And this is 1/10th of what was left over.Because they desperately want to clear out the area we are taking them.
The man and woman are Steve and Maureen.
They were so happy to give it to an Organization that will give to those in need.

This is Father John
For the person who asked ifFR John was a minister.The answer is
NO he is an Orthodox Priest.
And everyone who meets him knows
he is a blessing and 1 of the most giving
people.He genuinely cares about
those less fortunate.
This is a typical poor area in New Jersey
Camden,Philadelphia,Trenton,Newark and other cities have
numerous abandoned houses.
If the houses are not knocked
down they often are used as drug
houses,places for dog fighting,
homeless take up residence or
some other type of illegal use.
A few questions asked on email
What does your volunteers actually do?
Why do I read sometimes Holy Angels
other times Reys of Hope?Is this the same
organization?
Why don't you publicize your organization
more?
Why do you drop off at peoples homes?
Where do you work out of?
What is the main thing you need?
Answers to questions;
our volunteers do a number of things.
We have 2 seamstress now who makes
homemade clothes,articles and even pj's
for our needy children.They collect and sort
clothes and toys.They deliver items for us.Christmas time
they wrap gifts and do a toy drive for us.They also
let us know if they hear of anyone in need.
Give us boxes to store items in.Take pictures
of drop offs and those receiving items for the blog.
Follow up with phone calls/reply to those who email us.
And the number 1 most important thing about our volunteers is
they all give from the heart.
Holy Angels Children's Society is the
actual name of our Organization.Reys of Hope
is the name given to our Project in the USA.
Originally Holy Angels started in Haiti,when FR John
was CEO of an orphanage that Fr Tony and him started.
We do not publicize our Organization more
because we would be over whelmed with donations
and our space to accept them is limited.
We try to drop off items to peoples homes because many
who we assist have no transportation.And have no
means to pick items up.Also we do not have an
actual building for someone to come to.
We actually work out of our home keeping
donations in our garage.Once in awhile we have to
ask people to hold on to the items alittle longer.Until
we make room in our garage.
The 1 main thing we need is gas cards since we
deliver items by a vehicle.The other main thing we
would like is a building.To give us more room.

THANKS AGAIN JOHN FOR ASKING YOUR BOSS TO HELP US
AND WE THANK PITT OHIO EXPRESS COMPANY'SBOSS FOR BEING SO GENEROUS AND CARING..
WORDS CAN NOT EXPRESS OUR APPRECIATION
FOR ALL YOUR COMPANY HAS DONE
ALLELUIA,ALLELUIA
John is a volunteer who
helps us usually at Christmas
time.Delivering gifts to those
in need.John works for a wonderful trucking company
named PITT OHIO EXPRESS.His boss decided to help us with our charity project.These 4 pallets
of Winter clothes will be shipped to
their other terminal .From there
they will be reloaded onto another truck
and taken to North Dakota.Our expense
is only to pay for second truck being
reloaded.Thank God we were blessed
with the money donation and a wonderful
caring trucking company to make this
wish come true.
John worked all night then
offered his services free to
load up these boxes on pallets.Fr John
was playing foreman.lol
As Debbie,John and FR John
emptied out the garage I was
dropping off items to Dorothy
in Hammonton.
Homemade articles for the indian reservations
We have been blessed.
Another seamstress has volunteered
to help us.Her name is Melissa
and she is from Lakewood.
These articles are going to the Indian Reservations.
Best of all she is mailing them to save us the expense.
Mittens & quilted jacket
These definitely should
keep the Native American Children
warm.We might be a very small
organization but our volunteers rock!
And with their donations we actually
make a difference in peoples lives.
We have truely been blessed.
