#njsandy Immediate Supplies for NJ EMS and FIRE Depts affected by Hurricane Sandy reports:
"Yesterday was donation day to Union Beach EMS! Bergen County Tri-Boro Volunteer Ambulance Corps are just totally awesome - no other way to say it!
They donated a fully stocked rig to Union Beach, who lost all supplies and rigs in the hurricane! We are so happy we were able to make the introduction & connection for you!"
JERSEY RECOVERY: Kelsey shares this story with us:
"My parents have a 30 foot camper that they keep in the driveway of their house. Well last weekend, they went to a shelter where people were staying. They explained what they have to one of the people running it, and asked if they had any families there that need somewhere to stay for a bit. My loving parents gave their camper to a family of 3 with an 8 year old little girl for as long as they need it. When the man asked how much they want in rent, my father simply shook his head & said not to worry about it. This family lived in Seaside and lost everything they had. The little girl's birthday was 2 days before that, and all she asked for was a home. I love what my parents did for that family. I think there should be so many more people out there doing the same loving thing. ♥"
#njsandy Take what you need! Michele Nicastro shares:
"Can you help spread the word of a family that started a distribution center in their front yard (yard sale style)? Everything is free for people who lost anything with the storm. The address is 613 Park Ave in Union Beach. People can even come at night and help themselves....they leave everything set up all night."

#njsandy Cassandra reports: "NOCBB is set up at the Wawa on Rt 35N [in Normandy Beach]. We've given out around 50 buckets and kits in the past two hours, as well as lunches, gloves, etc. Come by and get what you need!!!!"
#njsandy ***PET FOSTERING*** Shari Silverman requests your attention: "There are still hundreds of homeless people in shelters in Monmouth and Ocean Counties. Many of these families have pets and they are unable to find pet-friendly housing
. They are lingering in the human shelters until they can find a way to ensure their furry friends will be cared for. These loving owners do not want to abandon their pets but they need some help until they are back on their feet and able to have their pet rejoin them. If you have room in your home and in your heart, please go to the www.fosterasandypet.org site for more information on how you can become a foster pet parent."
