Page 6 THE VILLADOM TIMES III • June 1, 2011 time to help make ends meet, but had to quit her job so she could make the numerous trips back and forth to the hospital. Dad works extra long hours to try to make up the difference, but the cost of commuting alone has thrown this family into debt. They are falling behind in their utility bills, and have been threatened with shut-off notices. Please help us keep the electricity, water, and gas turned on for this struggling family. We are also sending them monthly groceries. A check of any size will help us prevent shut-offs for this family and send the caseworker to their home to provide emotional support and advocacy. You can help in a variety of other ways. Consider turning your next event into a fundraiser, and collect checks or gift cards to help ECF’s families. Your efforts help us to help families like Jarrett’s in many ways. Kids can get involved, by holding a sale or a lemonade stand to raise funds for our families. If your Cub Scout or Girl Scout Troop needs to earn badges, give us a call. We rely on you to help support our families. Many of them do not have the financial or emotional support to help them get through a major illness like cancer. Please remember: We do not charge anything for our services. If you have a few hours a week to spare, consider becoming a volunteer or just stop by and meet with us, take a look at our pantry, and see what ECF is all about. 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. The Northern Regional Center is located at 174 Paterson Avenue, Midland Park, NJ 07432. Visit us online at www.emmanuelcancer.org. As always, thank you for helping the children and their families!
Our hat’s off to: Temple Beth Rishon in Wyckoff. We were the lucky beneficiaries of the temple’s annual Mitzvah Day this year. We are so appreciative of all the support they have given us. We currently distribute about 140 bags of food to our families each month. Please help us fill our pantry. When you go grocery shopping and something non-perishable is on sale, grab some extra items and drop them off. Our families appreciate it. ECF uses contributions to support the cost associated with providing free services to any child in New Jersey who has cancer. Approximately 70 cents from every dollar
goes toward direct care for our families. We are now planning a fall fundraiser and the 2012 Fine Arts & Crafts Fair. We are looking for volunteers to help with these events. Please call us if you would like to get involved. We just need a few hours of your time. Do you like to plan parties? Do you have experience in marketing or event planning? Please call us! ECF is seeking bilingual caseworkers all over the state. These are paid contractual positions. Six-month-old Jarrett was recently diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. His mom, Elena, had been working part-
