Here we are in a worldwide global pandemic, 7 years later and we are still going strong with Field Of Hopes. I am proud of everyone who has helped me along the way and made this experience so wonderful for everyone involved. Considering the circumstances I will not be hand delivering the supplies this year. However, I will still be collecting, creating and donating bags of goodies for the less fortunate. This year I will be making hygiene bags as I think they will go to great use. If you chose to donate, here are some options, but not limited.
1. hand sanitizer
2. disposable masks
3. mouth wash
4. tooth brushes
5. tooth paste
6. floss

ABOVE.. are two photos. The top photo is me and my three homeless friends from NYC. They all shared the same corner, and were freezing before I arrived. The man on the far left is rocking his new leather coat, the women in the middle was thrilled to have a matching turquoise jacket to match her hat, and the man on the right took a food bag, and a new hoodie. They were beyond grateful, and smiled so big when I handed them their new things.
The picture on the bottom was a homeless women who has lived on the same corner for a year now. She said "Welcome to my casa, please take a seat." My friend, cousin and I all sat in her little home and talked for about twenty minutes. She wound up giving us a bag of prepared gloves, and hand warmers to give away to others. I was beyond amazed and touched by this women's actions. God bless these amazing people. |

This mans name was Vinny. The coat my mom is helping him put on was donated from Red Bank Regionals nurses office. He was so grateful for the coat he had tears in his eyes. Truly made this mans day! NOVEMBER 16th 2014.

This young man had just turned 21 weeks prior when I first met him. Being able to see him again an entire month later in the same exact spot in NYC was so surreal and I was happy to be able to help him again. Nobody deserves to live this way and NOBODY should. These are ordinary people, and still deserve t be treated as humans. God bless him.
