Crusade for Christine- building her a new Home
Donation protected
My name is Bob Bonanno. I received a phone call from Christine just after Christmas asking for electrical help on her house. She needed to tear down her old house and rebuild. After listening to her story, I almost didn’t believe that this could happen to someone. I said yes to helping with the electric, but I knew she needed way more than that.
I had done some charity work through my Union in the past with Habitat for Humanity, and more recently Teen Challenge. I reached out to the people I worked with for help. They do great work but they were committed to projects for the next 2 years. I asked for leads or contacts for anyone who could help. A friend of mine who helps Habitat, Chris Antonellis, reached out to a person named John Kinney, who
told me to call him. John, who started up a similar program called Gloria’s Gladiators, got a community together to help fix up the house of a lady in need. It became more than just helping a little old lady, it became a movement. He said, "Ask people for help, you will be surprised."
So, I started asking around, and the support I have received has been incredible. We have manpower to wire the new house (Thank You Local 103!), My friend Jim Dunn is tearing down the house, we have verbal confirmations on Plumbing and HVAC, and a new roof!
A personal Thanks to Larry Soares for creating the website and helping with the social media!
We are going to make this happen, but we are still going to need help and donations. Please be apart of this. Every little bit will help and most important, spread the word and spread the love!
Thank you!
