Emmanuel asks...
Can You Help?
Our hat’s off to: The folks at Our Lady of Mount Carmel who held a Bake Sale and bought gift cards for our families. We thank everyone at The Kentshire in Midland Park for their fundraiser this past month. We thank Weichert Realtors of Hackensack for the large donation of children’s toys. New Year -- new help needed: Amelia is now five years old. When she was almost two years old, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. She had surgery in Philadelphia and received chemotherapy. At the time, her prognosis as result of the surgery and chemo was cautiously optimistic. Sometimes, the surgery will not get all of the cancer and it will grow back. Within a year of the treatments, she began to have seizures and was diagnosed with epilepsy. She was 4-29-09 karen/janine transferred to a hospital for tests and care. The seizures EmmanuelHelp2x.75(4-29-09)past year, the seizures occurred on and off for awhile. This started happening again, and she received two surgeries in 3 x .75 New York at Beth Israel Hospital. She now goes for physical therapy, vision therapy, and medical care. The seizures are gone due to some new revolutionary surgery.
Amelia’s mom suffers from depression and really cannot provide care for the family. Amelia’s dad, Charles, lost his job because he has had to take over the parental duties. A variety of community groups have helped this family when medical care was not available. The family could use a variety of things, which we list here for your consideration: size 6 tops and pants for Amelia, a department store gift card so 15-year-old sister Samantha can buy a sweater and jeans, a gas dryer, microwave, dishes, pots and pans, and a cable and DVD ready television for some entertainment. We now need the following food pantry items: pancake mix and syrup, jelly, canned fruit, long grain white rice, lentils, kidney beans, red beans, black beans, dried beans,
corn meal, (Goya brand products work well), cooking oil, toilet tissue, paper towels, and detergent. Office volunteers are needed at the following times: Monday, 1 to 5; Wednesday, 1 to 5; Thursday, 2:30 to 5; Friday, 10 to 1 and 1 to 5; and Saturday, 10 to 1. Call us at (201) 612-8118 before you stop by. Please do not leave items at the center without checking with us first. Our storage space is limited. Our current hours are Monday, 10 to 1; Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, 10 to 5; and Thursday, 10 to 2. The Northern Regional Center is located at 174 Paterson Avenue, Midland Park, NJ 07432.
