Long Islanders Who Would Like To Help...

I've recently heard of a family that is truly struggling to make ends meet. There are three young children involved and both parents are working to support them. I've provided groceries (meats and produce) and have driven the mother to food pantries to get assorted canned goods.

Now, I've learned that these people have run out of heating oil. At the present moment I can't help them any more than I already have and am concerned about the children who still have chilly nights to cope with and no hot baths.

If any of the BWW family would be willing to supply this family with 50 or 100 gallons of fuel oil, please contact me and I'll steer you in the right direction.

United Way used to provide a free program in Long Island, but due to high demand, they've had to stop. There is an assistance program that they may qualify for, depending on income. http://www.ohili.org/assistance.html I guess it's worth a shot. I wish I was in a position to help.

Believe it or not, a lovely couple has volunteered to donate 50 gallons of fuel oil to this family. May God bless them!
