Baby Ariana
I am happy to report I was able to meet for the first time Shannon (21) and Baby Ariana
(7 weeks)who lost their Dad/Husband in a car accident back in Sept.
We were able to deliver a trailer load of baby essentials listed below and shown in the above photo along with a HDHM check in the amount of $4,000.00 all made possible by the many HDHM subscribers, church groups, and corporate offices over the last 4 weeks.
Check out part-timer Grand-pa Pete who will never be called for baby sitting I am sure.
Cash= $765.00
Stop & Shop $730.00
Big Y = $20.00
Gas = $115.00
Walmart = $650.00
Target = $45.00
Once Upon a Child = $25.00
CVS = $750.00
Shop Rite = $45.00
Dawn’s Pizzazz Spa
(manicure/pedicure) = $50 value
Kohl’s = $100.00
Babies R ‘Us = $320.00
Costco = $25.00
Stew Leonard’s (value unknown)
Many personal articles in trailer (est $3,000.00)
Sub-Total = $6,640.00
HDHM CK= $4,000.00
Grant Total= $10,640.00
When one totals up all the items and financial support, Shannon and Baby Ariana will enjoy in excess of $10,000.00 worth of treasurers for the next several months.
Since many of you have asked to adopt with gifts or financial help Shannon and her beautiful baby for the holidays and thereafter, she has permitted me to give you her home address:
Shannon Lambert
18 Lambert Lane
Pleasant Valley, NY. 12568
The whole family including grandparents and friends of the family greeted us at grandmas home with a warm welcome including lunch and a couple of home made pies for our complete enjoyment. It was a very emotional Sunday visit, and one we will remember for a very long time.
Thanks to the 155 HDHM donors who made this day happen.
We have closed our garage from this point forward. Thanks

Laptop Donation Success Story
A few weeks ago I searched on Pete's Repeats for help in locating a lap top computer for a 22 year old Spinal Cord Injury patient who was rehabilitating at Burke Rehab in White Plains NY. This gentleman is no quitter and wants to attend college soon, but the requirement is a lap top or no admittance, and he could not afford anything close to the cost of a lap top computer.
Very generous HDHM subscribers Bob and Jane Rohr in Brookfield CT answered the call and they have picked up the entire cost of a new lap top which we delivered to Steven today at Burke in WP. We also received $300.00 from 11 other donors for this young man and we gave him a HDHM check for that amount to be applied to the purchase of books or any immediate need.
In addition we were blessed by an IBM employee John Dischinger who was instrumental in utilizing his employee discount and with his technical skills purchased at a savings the IBM lap top and included a docking station for ease of transfer for Steven.
What a smile. He is one happy dude.
It is folks like this that make this Ministry what it is, and we are very grateful for the support.
Pictured left to right:

Today represents one of the main reasons why "I Love My Job".
Pay Day for Steven. Check for $300.00.
To all of you who follow our Ministry, "Thanks for Caring".
