Happy New Year!
We wanted to say thank you so much for your generous donations and support the past 2 weeks. We are left speechless and overwhelmed with your kindness and generosity, and appreciate every single one of you!
As we manage our challenging new dynamic, we are reminded each day how fortunate we are to be surrounded by so many caring, thoughtful and loving people! We are so grateful for our family and friends who have created this platform and taken time to help us with our house and supported us in so many other ways, neighbors who are family and continually help check in on us and care for our pets, for shelter over our heads, and food to eat and share.
Thank you to everyone who has reached out and helped us including the firemen and police officers, the building inspector, plumber, contractors, structural engineer, and Royers tree removal experts—all who have lent a hand, their time, expertise and support.
We are so grateful to all those in the Needham community where we have lived for 35 years, the Newton community where Nick is an educator, colleagues and friends who know Sophia and Meilani, and the larger community of kind human beings who have shared with us so generously, though they may not know us personally. We hope that the challenges of 2023 turn into blessings for our family in 2024!
May all beings have such support, light and love in their lives!
Love,
Carolanne (”Mimi”), Sophia, Nick, and Meilani
Update- December 24, 2023
On behalf of the Wong/Oller family we would like to thank everyone who's donated! We are amazed that we reached our goal within two days. This just shows how much this family has touched many lives and speaks to their character. As the family is still processing what has happened and figuring logistics out about their next steps, they want to thank each and everyone who has supported and continues to support them. As soon as they are ready, the family be reaching out.
Please continue to support this amazing family . Thank you!
We are asking for your support for the Wong/Oller family- Nick, Sophia, their little girl Meimei, and Sophia's mother Carolanne, a sweet pup and two cats have lost their home. During the devastating storm that tore through town of Needham, MA on Monday December 18, 2023, an old pine tree fell on their home. Thankfully no body was hurt, but the childhood home was deemed structurally damaged and uninhabitable. The timing of this right before the holidays has made it even more heartbreaking.
If you you know this family, you know they'd drop everything and do anything for anyone in need. They're kind, loyal and generous. Their selflessness knows no bounds, and we are asking to help support with food and lodging until they are able to find permanent housing.
Here is an Amazon list for essentials as well: Amazon List Updated

Thank you for your support-- truly anything at this point will help this amazing family.
