Veteran #246 Bronx, NY Army Veteran 2/11/16

Beautiful day!!! Today I set off for an amazing day of charity work with Veteran #211 Ronnie & College Volunteer Vinny.

We loaded up in the bitter cold to make sure Veteran #246 would be able to finally sleep in her new home with a bed to call her own.

This move was so special since my Grandparents on both sides lived on Cruger Avenue same street she moved on. I lived here also until I was almost 3. It touched me heart, all aspects of our work make me feel blessed and so alive.

The hotel furniture to me is meant to be as well. They come from an older family friend from Yorktown Frank Wortmann. Through his work with Allied Renovating Hotels; we were able to obtain gorgeous hotel donations from the Holiday Inn Express in Hauppauge, LI. (Floors of it)

The furniture is all stamped "Made in the USA with either 10/00 or 11/00. Vinny passed away 10/26/2000 & his 21st Birthday would have been 11/5/2000. This is a symbolic gift and a hug from heaven.

We're blessed Westy in East Northport has donated 6 months of space that allow us to continue receiving this bounty. It's huge! I feel like family there when I show up. Beautiful place and I highly recommend to all.

Our Veteran wrote us a beautiful Thank you card and wanted everyone to know how truly blessed she feels. Here is her recent text.

Thank you. It's all so beautiful. Thank you. Your heart is so big. One person makes a difference the vet who asked for help in the beginning and you for responding. Look at what you both have done. God really is a champion of souls because He Loves, We Love and or are the recipients of same.

Hallelujah and thank you all so very much.

Thank you Donors and Thank you Vinny & Ronnie for sharing today with me. We will have multiple blasts ;)) Veteran #246 –continued

After our amazing time helping Veteran #246; we went to Long Island. This was due in part to the help we received from Mike Bottone of Reel Snow/Bottone Ironworks & Kenny Krasnow. Mike and Kenny did our 1st Yonkers 9 am pick up of Mobility Chair and Mobility Lift Chair.

My Brother Vinny Veteran #253 Sat Feb 20, 2016 Montrose, NY

Vietnam Veteran, Marine Bronze Star Recipient

This move was weeks in the works. Our Veteran was very concerned that he would not have the ability to start over once in apartment. He was told to go to DSS and see if they can help him once in home. Which would be readily available support and another lengthy wait for help.

I reassured Veteran every few days that he would be ok. I explained we do this because we love too and it's not a job. Which means, we will come through and he was very happy we did and even came on his first mission between his 2nd pick up for his move.

Today he was fully set up! By our MBV Crew that joined me. Veterans Wayne 190 and Ronnie #211; Maryellen Howard and Nick Matta from Mahopac HS.

Veteran #293 - WWII Veteran VA Manhattan Bronx, NY support

Army, enlisted in 1943

Today we helped our first WWII Veteran. I am thankful to be able to have the ability to support these Veterans and honored to do so.

Bright and early at 7:30 am; I went to storage to meet one of the best Veteran case workers around Devonne McMorris.

Devonne contacted me about a 91 year old WWII Veteran that was moving into his own home and needed our support. Of course I said yes, even with the walk yesterday and vacation tomorrow.

Since this just came Thursday, Devonne was able to pick up all she could in her SUV to help him. He will get support with the bed Tuesday from his Agency. If they can't help him definitely we will make a road trip to ensure he was a bed. He has been in a Staten Island Hotel after shelter waiting on transition.

Donations -

Bathroom/Kitchen Basket - Janet Hecken, Cortlandt, NY - Janet's father is a WWII Veteran himself still living happy and healthy with his wife.

Easy chair, night stands - Holiday Inn Express, Hauppauge Long Island

2 cases of water - Yorktown Self Storage and ACME water donations.

Please support our work! Please make a monetary donation to My Brother Vinny today. Our walk is not enough to sustain our services. We made less this year on the season and our Veterans are coming in quicker.

Special note - no furniture donations through July, 2016; unless scheduled. Our storage needs to be able to squeeze the remainder of our LI surplus up either by 6/1 or 7/1.

We're on massive distribution schedule to clear out space. With a storage bill of $ 1700 (even with great deals) a month and numerous other bills to help our Veterans start over. We need financial support only at this time and as always manpower. Even having someone donate our next Uhaul Rental since we have rented 56 since 2013; would be a huge help.

After this mission the guys went to Yonkers to pick up a beautiful sofa and love seat. .

It's a Beautiful Day! Today I had the pleasure of helping 2 Female Army US Veterans start over.

Our Montrose VA Veteran was very fortunate to have support through Putnam County to cover the cost of her rental. It was a huge help, and a rare support for services. Since both Veterans were single mothers, additional support is available. The moving company Always Moving out of Kingston, sent 2 great guys. They helped above and beyond, it was a pleasure meeting them.

For Magic Mike fans, One of the movers is Joe Maganiello's Cousin and Tyrone our other mover a Marine.

As an 100% Volunteer organization we try our best to ensure our US Veterans starting over have support. The hard issue for us on top of the procuring of furniture and delivery, is the balancing of distance, with limited time and expenses to run our services. Plus, my full time job.

We do not normally travel to Middletown, NY. I knew when I got the referral from the VA and a Putnam support group, he really needed quick support. Once I found out he was 83 and disabled, I knew immediately we would make the trip. He needs us, and we all need to do whatever is possible to help our Veterans, more so our elderly and disabled.

This Veteran is one of hundreds we have supported since June, 2013, 100% Volunteer.

It truly was an all-around great day! Our crew met up at 8:30, and went to our 1st stop a WWII Veterans family donating. It worked out perfect, we were able to take his items and deliver direct to Middletown.

MBV is not taking any new donors through the month of August. Unless, you have been previously scheduled.

We are 100% volunteer, and I need to work on moving the stock we have in our 1900 sq. feet of storage and setting up the Vets inventory. Plus, I really want to get my shelves up and maximize the space we have. (Been saying this for 3 years) The next 2 months are very important to our organization.

I appreciate all of the notes, support and donations. I am one person though doing 100% of all the paperwork, setting up pickups and donor support, organizing and running programs. We have Volunteers, but as the Founder/Director of My Brother Vinny with a very busy full time job. I need to take this time to get us set! — feeling thankful.

The Carmel Rotary has been a tremendous support to My Brother Vinny. We have been serving side by side for the past few months, and consider them a very important charitable partner. They have donated a large surplus of toasters and coffee pots, volunteered to team up on weekend moves and even recently donated $ 500. They saw the work we perform and understood our great need, and stepped up to lend and hand. I'm truly grateful for that :) and love working with them.

They even pitched in after move for a pick up of donations. :)

My Brother Vinny Veteran #322 Yonkers, NY Army, Post Vietnam Era

Thank you so much Veterans Wayne & Ronnie for delivering furniture today to our Veteran in Yonkers, NY. This move was a 3rd floor walkup. Which alone is hard, factor in heat on top of it that makes it even more exhausting.

All over the news you hear about what this candidate or that candidate will do to help Veterans. Social media posts cover my news feeds daily with the banter.

It's frustrating, many Politicians use Veterans as a great talking point to keep themselves in office, missing the human factor behind the known military service. The struggles, scars and stories many have and the lack of resources that we help with.

Our charity is very unique in our service furnishing homes throughout Westchester, Putnam, NYC. We are getting nonstop calls from Veterans, and I have to filter through it all, while working my full time job.

To think these Veterans would have nothing without us, places a large level of responsibility and necessity in our work. It's a very difficult task, but the beauty in knowing you are making an actual difference is priceless. Our charity, 100% volunteer!

I ask you to step up and support a group like ours that is struggling to furnish homes. We need help, more constant financial donations. #322 Veterans supported since June, 2013 knew they could count on us, and we came through. Today's support -

My Brother Vinny Veteran #323 Army - Vietnam Era Peekskill, NY

Day 2 of my staycation going perfect! I got an email in the evening from a Bronx, VA Social worker asking about furniture for her Vet, and checking to see if I could meet them Tuesday or Wednesday of any upcoming week. I suggest tomorrow and our amazing Bronx social worker sets it up.

I had not realized until at storage our Bronx VA Social worker had a Peekskill Vet on her caseload. They usually help city and down county like Yonkers and Mt Vernon area. This amazing social worker Camille wanted to help this Veteran so much, she traveled up in her personal vehicle to help Vet. Normally, the Bronx VA brings up cargo vans weekly, but still she wanted to help with no time to reserve. Since I'm on my staycation, I had time and Veteran #323 has been served!

Thank you @MyBrotherVinny Crew - Veteran #190 Wayne Reese, Veteran #211 Ronnie Hansford aka Snoop and Kathleen Corcoran. Wayne and Ronnie are delivering the last load now after New Rochelle Vet #324.

Nando is our MBV Artist, he was a surprise for Wayne on his Birthday weekend. He made a beautiful painting of "Muffin Marie", and a painting for our Army Reservist.

Every day I wake up feeling fortunate. Our 100% Volunteer organization is filled with the kindest, hardworking souls. This weekend we introduced 3 new members to our crew, and I always say, once you are on a move your hooked, its magic :)

Today, we had the pleasure to meet an Army Reservist with the most beautiful spirit. Although, the support we extend has been primarily for Veterans starting over. Once our Veteran #2 Luis told her about us, it we rallied to her side.

Our 1st Veteran of the day #328 Tim, was so overwhelmed with joy. He could not believe the beautiful items that were delivered. Meeting Veterans like Tim, continually remind us of the vital service we perform. Without the support of @MyBrotherVinny, he would be sleeping in an empty apartment, trying to figure out how to get furniture. As an American citizen, we owe it to our Veterans to make their house a home.

Today, we served Veteran #330. An Army Veteran living in Poughkeepsie, NY, without a bed. I was joined by Marianne Oros, who works with Senator Murphy's Office and decided to volunteer with @MyBrotherVinny.

It worked out great, being my last day of my staycation from DEP. I needed a copilot for this unexpected trip. The Veteran was in apartment without a bed. I thought on floor totally, but he was on a box spring only. Which is like being on the floor sadly.

It was a nice trip to Poughkeepsie to help him. We put together the hotel bed frame with "Girl Power" and a call to Wayne to figure out the steps. It's not your average bed frame. :)

Veteran #331, was a quick support for us, he needed minimal items, since he had some personal items of his own for new place.

Today was a massive day! One of the record books! 7 hours of jam packed work for; Veteran #190 Wayne, Nando and I.

I am thankful to have had them both working so hard, to ensure formerly homeless US Veterans have a comfortable furnished home.

We met at storage by 9 am. Our 1st group was already on site. Every one of these Veterans received Bathroom/Kitchen Bins from Janet Hecken of Cortlandt Manor, NY.

The first group shared a Box truck and made sure they also brought furniture back for two (2) Elderly Veterans. They also came back with Veteran #334; from the other day. They filled the 20ft truck up completely and may make another future trip. All came out of the same Bronx shelter, supporting one another on their journey.

My Brother Vinny Veterans #346-350 Bronx, NY September 9, 2016

It was a milestone day for us yesterday with My Brother Vinny! We supported 5 Veterans yesterday placing our support at 350 Veterans, since June, 2013.

All of our Veterans receive support from the Bronx, VA, 4 reside in the Bronx and 1 out of Brooklyn. This to me is what makes the Bronx, VA the best. They will pick up a Veteran in Brooklyn and make the trip up to us by 10 am, load up and bring a Veteran home and help deliver. They start very early on outreach days with us to make sure the Veterans can start over smoothly. Yesterday, they even picked up for disabled Vets that could not travel.

We loaded up their cargo van and mini the following.

Donations-

4 Bathroom/Kitchen Baskets - Janet Hecken, Cortlandt Manor, NY - 1 Veteran did not need items

5 Bed in Bags - last of donor Angel donations- 1 Christine Walters, 4 MBV general donation

Today, I had the pleasure of helping a female Army Veteran, Mother of 5 children. This outreach was made easier for us since Hudson River Housing Group paid for the moving truck to pick up from us. It was coordinated through a new Montrose, VA social worker that has been helping in the short period of time she has been employed with the VA.

Always Moving sent down a crew from Kingston, NY and My Brother Vinny did our part to make sure we have stock on hand to help this family start over.

I feel fortunate daily for the volunteer force we have. Without them, we would not be able to help our Veterans start over. The charity is nonstop and takes a tremendous team :)

Our Veteran has been sleeping on the floor in his home since 9/1. Without anything other than a TV set and blankets. To many Veterans we support they have been street homeless, It's absolutely unacceptable to me, they continue to sleep on a floor.

Once I heard from Veteran on Thursday, I knew we would do our best to provide some comfort and help make his house a home. We can only help who we are aware of, and there is only so much time in the day.

We will head back to help this Veteran at a later date. He still needs a dresser and other items. This was a last minute set up to get him off the floor.

We have come far, I think of the progress and the support we have given to Veterans. After I picked up the mini we went on a move and I figured I would give you all a snapshot on this special donation day.

Life is about perspective! When you can channel a deep hurt into a beautiful story, that to me is healing.

Today, on the 16th Anniversary of my brothers passing. I received a beautiful gift from Heaven. One of the two Veterans today, was named Vincent. I had my referral sheets, but when speaking to social worker we always referred to Veterans by last name. It was amazing to hear him say proudly "My name is Vincent and show me the name stitched on his jacket" I told him wonderful.

As I write this, I was even more special now that I reflect, because the Veterans were "Vincent and Charlie" now i'm crying happy tears. The connection just extra hit me, since my cousin Charlie that was like a brother to us passed away in 2011. The same year of my accident, absolutely meant to be that both Veterans were together today.

My heart feels full of love. Thank you all for supporting My Brother Vinny. Thank you for allowing me to honor my special needs Brother, and honor and support our needy year round, day by day in his memory. To walk into our new My Brother Vinny office headquartered at Yorktown Self Storage with Vincent and help him was down the stairs touched me. It was like I had the chance to help Vinny Walk again.

My Brother Vinny Veteran #361 - Army Veteran Bronx, NY 11/3/16

Family of 10, yes 10. They have 8 children, 7 boys and 1 girl. Sadly, they honestly fell through the cracks. Trying to set up a home that barely has any furniture to day. Thankfully, the 3rd Social Worker that took their case went back to the older files and tried to help them.

They have been living with sparse furniture since 2013. It's horrible to know, we could have helped them sooner. The wife cried, she could not believe what we have. It was like a dream to her. Kids sharing beds, will now have extra ones. We will be doing weekly visits with the Bronx VA to make sure they are super stocked up.

My Brother Vinny Veteran #366 - Marine Verplanck, NY - 11/18/16

Beautiful Day! It has been 2 years in the making this move. Our Veteran stopped me in Yorkto wn 2 years ago after hearing I was helping a homeless lady. It was the day before our Let's Give Thanks event 2014. He was living in a tent in Yorktown, I told him after event I can take him to Jan Peak since they house Veterans now, come and spend day since it's cold out and eat.

He ended up going into shelter and through VA program. Really special to me, he also volunteer ed at this past Sunday's event and will probably help again at the shelter,) this Thanksgiving will be his 2nd Shelter Dinner volunteer event.

Our crew started early, picking up furniture, setting up #366 and closing picking up more stock. No new furniture donors will be accepted through New Year, unless previously scheduled. We h ave our dates for 2 hotels donors. Huge amount of stock.

Veteran #367 was a special request for a resident in need from one of my Brother Vincent's former therapists. It always fills my heart with joy speaking with people that knew Vinny and cared for him. Since he was non verbal and reliant on special care, those that were blessed to know him shared a special bond with him connected by love.

Our Veteran requested a love seat to make their home more comfortable. After meeting family, it has also been brought to light an urgent need to assist this family. A hospital bed that is fully functional with all motor capabilites operation. If anyone has one, please let me know asap. They current have one that does not work the best.

Donation - Love seat - Kathleen Malara- Peekskill, NY

Our crew started extra early 7:45 am to head out to Yonkers to set up our Veteran. With a very busy schedule of Veterans coming up, I wanted to make sure he did not have to wait without furniture for too long. Thankfully, our crew was ready to start early and accommodate move.

He moved 12/1; from Breaking Grounds a privately run Veteran housing facility on Montrose Grounds. The support requested from us was all home furnishings items and housewares. He qualified for a bed via an SSVF Grant organization that the VA coordinates with. Hopefully, they will come through with the bed soon.

Our Veterans apartment was absolutely empty with only bags of clothing, pillows, sheets on the floor. After move, I contacted his caseworker and stressed the need for coordination and a rush on his bed. Temporarily he will push chairs together with Ottomans or I will send him an aerobed Monday. This is the hardest part, any support out of the VA takes forever and the guys that get a limited chance for a bed get stuck waiting.

Thank you generous donors. This Veteran resides on the 4th floor of a walk up with no elevator. The new hotel furniture was the perfect size.

Veteran #371, has been in his home for over a month. Once again our services are dependent on social workers outreach. If we don't know about the Veterans needs timely, we cannot help them. This Veteran came to us a few days before Thanksgiving. We already had Veterans on schedule and our hotel run pending. We were told he was obtaining his bed through SSVF. As of today, he still only had his air bed.

This morning before work, I had a Veteran picking up furniture from our storage with a box truck. On a rare occasion, the Montrose VA thanks to one amazing social worker coordinates a trucking service. (Our 8th truck they sent in 3.5 Years, majority due to her, last 6 months). The truck arrived and hour late and since I had to be at work. I called Marianne, she came to our storage and finished the support. Thank you :)))) Marianne. Donations-

One thing I have learned is the ability to be flexible with our schedule. On many occasions we have to be able to change things around when Veterans have pick up issues. We had a 9 am Bronx Veteran scheduled to pick up and a Yonkers Veteran delivery after soon after. We had to swap our schedule and do the run early to accommodate a schedule change. Which worked out amazing since our 2nd Veteran ended up with a beautiful kitchen table.

Our Yonkers Veteran also turned out to be a close family friends relative. It's amazing to me how life works out and our connections grow.

A few weeks in the making, this set up was beautiful once our Veteran got support to pick up. Although, he gets Bronx VA medical, he was not part of the normal social worker pick ups. With his young son driving him up in a rented Uhaul truck. We gave him the super set up for the large 2 bedroom apartment he has.

A Vietnam Veteran with the most beautiful smile was beaming with joy the entire time.

My Brother Vinny Veteran #376 - WWII Army New Windsor, NY 12/11/16

MBV Crew - Kenny Beck, Emily LaCava, Maryellen Howard, Ericka Tompkins, New Recruits Rita Teresa, Sean Rivers (Navy Veteran) and I (Paula)

Last Monday 12/5; News 12 Westchester story aired a story about a WWII Veteran Sparky that needs support and has been selling Christmas Trees to get by - https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1023069671136719&id=292493454194348

Ericka Tompkins my Dear friend reached out to me to tell me she was going to visit him the next day and see what we can do. After her visit, she told me about a need for new furniture and in home TLC.

We went up today and had the opportunity to clean his entire home. Ericka Tompkins and Maryellen Howard did an amazing job taking over the role of the overhaul. Emily, Kenny, Rita and Sean went to the local store to purchase more items once we knew what additonal needs he had.

While I was at the house I had the opportunity to speak with Carl his Caregiver, that became his primary support system since last year after News 12 ran a similar story about Sparky. It was beautiful to see everyone showing up to visit, purchase trees and bring him home cooked meals. Sadly, through after the Holidays this support tends to drop off just like it did this past year. Carl needs a network of helpers in his region or kind souls willing to travel from time to time to help him. We will coordinate and I will try to guide him through resources to make life easier. It made me happy to know someone stepped up in his community to take this role.

Our MBV Crew traveled up with a sofa, bathroom/Kitchen Basket, end table, blankets, tray of food and cleaning supplies. Once in we knew we could not change alot. Everything had to be put back in place and all items disposed of had to be cleared with Sparky. We were able to replace his twin bed mattress and all the bedding. He would not change sofas, but allowed us to put a sofa cover on the couch. He was given a deep cleaning and quality time with everyone. He loved the lunch from Yorktown Pizza and Pasta, the heater from Marianne Oros and expressed how much he loves visitors.

It was truly beautiful to meet the New York Riders a Veteran group that showed up to lend support and donate to Sparky. The beauty of seeing Veterans together helping one another is priceless.

As Carl informs me of Sparkys needs I will inform all to help him with resources. He helps him pay his taxes and will see what he has after this holiday season to keep track.

Keep Sparky in your thoughts and prayers. If you would like to lend him a hand or coordinate with Carl please let me know. Once the holidays end, please remember Sparky. I know we will always ♡

It was brutally cold today and that did not stop our crew. We were out with pins and needles in our hands helping Veterans:

Bronx VA had a cargo Van issue for 2 pick ups. Both new workers don't like driving them and one Veteran could not come up wiith his truck. We loaded up 2 mini Van's, before and after our Peekskill Veteran support.

Beautiful day! Our Vietnam Veteran had reached out to us on his own to give us the heads up to his move. Which was a tremendous help. We don't always get advanced notice and need time to book Vets on schedule. It was nice having our new recruit Tom Shane join us today. I'm feeling amazing, we have been fortunate to have so many new recruits join our 100% Volunteer family. I love seeing everyone work side by side helping one another. Veteran #382 actually become a new volunteer. Since he was not officially moved out of the VA, we offered to drop him off at the facility. In the time to travel up, we picked up Amazon donations and loaded up Van to help Veteran #383 in Peekskill.

After helping Veteran #382 in Yonkers, NY. He ended up taking the ride back north with us and starting on his first Volunteer mission. We went to pick up Amazon Wish Lists Donations and unload in storage and I decided to call #383 once at storage to see if we could deliver to him on the way back to VA.

Our Veteran was able to meet us since he's still residing on the grounds. He actually just got his key and our next available day to help would have been Christmas eve morning.
