Staten Island Strong

Yesterday, instead of going to work, the office organized a volunteer day to help with the clean up and rebuild of Staten Island post hurricane. I knew I loved my job before, but I'm even more proud to work there now - I work with some pretty amazing people.

What an incredible day. I met so many wonderful people (and a lovely dog too!) Way too many heartbreaking stories of loss and so much resilience.

We cleaned out a quite a few flooded homes and basements in the New Dorp area (beachfront), helped organize clothing, food and supply donations. Our office worked with Staten Island Strong - a fantastic organization. If you can get out there, they need all the help they can get. There is still SO much to be done.







The devastation is enormous.
