Dear Wenshaw Park Neighbors,
I must thank everyone for the donations that we received. The generosity and kindness displayed by this neighborhood was truly amazing!
Yesterday I saw first hand the desperate situation down in Long Beach and can tell you that everything you have donated will be greatly appreciated. At this time, the Long Beach site will no longer be accepting clothes.
Thanks to the overwhelming response for help, they have received tons and tons of bags! If that situation changes, I will let you all know.
Hats, gloves and scarves are still needed due to the cold temperatures and approaching storm. They can be dropped off at 84 Winifred Drive in Merrick.
Again, thank you so much for all your help!

The School board is a bunch of morons if they want to remove this designation! There were 0 problems…Read More like this when Malucci was in office, this new superintendent is a waste of space, money, and cares more about his own paycheck then our kids! Between school security, and now this, I motion that we get rid of that skell!

Bless you, Anthony. And though I know ultimately the "Judge" will have to be held…Read More accountable by a higher authority...those of us who do this work, have not forgotten nor will we allow the system to forget what her role in this travesity was.

Thank you for this wonderful article on a good man pushed to the brink. I appriciate the fact this…Read More came form the heart and did not hold back. As Sacristan at Cure of Ars, I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Rich (as I called him) for some time. He was a man of faith and a pleasure to see. Always with a smile and kind word, you would never know what was going on the way he acted. This was a wonderful and insightful article. It is heartbreaking to think that where there was once love between 2 people, things got to the point where one persons life was destroyed by those who could and did for no apparent reason other than having the ability to do so. God will have mercy on Dr. Rich and the ex-wife and "Judge" should pray for the same given their actions.
