Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church - Caring Servants + Lay MInisters
Acton, MA

Welcome to the Mt. Calvary - Lotsa Helping Hands Caring Servants Community. This website provides a coordinated schedule system for people to serve by walking with others as we do life together. We love others by lending a hand. This website is part of the Caring Servants Ministry at MCLC. As a church family, we provide meals, transportation to appointments, spiritual companionship, and other caring services in times of need.

“Mt. Calvary is more than a church you visit once a week to listen to a sermon. It is a community that follows our savior, Jesus Christ, in practical ways that are life-giving. Christian friendship is shared in faith life, life groups, opportunities to serve, and groups and programs for Mt. Calvary Kids & Youth. It begins with a casual conversation or cup of coffee with a new friend. We’ve found a home in the Mt. Calvary faith community. There is more here than we ever expected.”

Each book club meeting will include a gathering activity, circle time (when we read the book of the week), an art activity, a snack, and a game. Each of the activities will be related to the book of the week.

Each Saturday, an email will be sent to all of the mommies detailing that Friday's book of the week and the suggested activities (mommies are free to suggest their own activities, as long as they relate to that week's book). Mommies can then come here to the community site to sign up for the activity they would like to be responsible for that week.

Hospitality Homes is the only hospital housing program in the Boston area that is open to all families regardless of nationality, income, age, illness, or treatment facility.

Guests are responsible for their own meals and transportation.

Helping Hands for Jill!
Clinton, MA

Welcome to our Lotsa Helping Hands Community web site. This site will be the place to go to get updates about Jill's treatment and progress, and also to sign up to help with meals and anything else that she, Jim, and Maryann might need.

Our goal for this site is to help make her recovery process as easy as possible. You can check the calendar section on a weekly basis, and once she has had her surgery, we will post updates here so that she is not inundated with phone calls.

The first calendar that I have set up is for meals only. We planned on having three per week so the family is not overwhelmed with food. Jill's surgery is scheduled for April 4th, so the meals will start the day before. When you bring your meal, please place it in the cooler that will be located by the garage in the driveway. Please DO NOT ring the doorbell or go into the house, as we want to allow Jill and her family the privacy she will need to recover fully.

I will post another calendar once Jill and Jim determine how many "check-ins" she may need after the surgery. That information will become available at a later date.

Thank you so much for joining this site and for your willingness to help Jill and her family during this difficult phase of her life.

The family's time is much better spent with Mary rather than shopping and cooking dinner every day.

We all want to help and this is a simple yet meaningful way to support the family at this difficult time.

Thank you for all your support.

KidzKIND
Concord, MA

Welcome to KidzKIND!

KidzKIND is a community of parents and kids who engage in simple, short, hands-on activities that give back to the community and people in need. (Don’t tell your kids but it also builds connection, character, and confidence in your child.)

Are screens a dominant part your kids' daily lives?

Do you ever worry that all of that screen-time might stunt their compassion and ability to have real-world interaction with others?

I do! I am a parent of two children aged 12 and 11. While I love technology, I also know that we need to make thoughtful decisions to spend time with our kids to help them build compassion for real, living and breathing people! Not just the kind that are on TV or on YouTube.

Our first “short and sweet” service project will be at Gaining Ground in Concord, MA. http://gainingground.org

WHAT: Harvesting fruit and vegetables at Gaining Ground, which grows organic produce for hunger relief with help from volunteers of all ages and abilities, who work and learn in their garden. In short, they grow food and give it away to people who need it. For free.

WHEN: Saturday, August 17 9-11 am (I said short and sweet: perhaps a trip for ice cream after??)

WHERE: Gaining Ground is located at the Thoreau Birthplace Farm property at 341 Virginia Rd, Concord, MA 01742.

We hope to see you there!!

Compassionately,
Jill, Adam, Rachel, and Carlos Zimmerman-Diaz

One small step for kids
One giant leap for KidzKIND!

Cynthia Clare Riddle
Harvard, MA

My name is Jan Bergstrom and I was a part of the Brugh Joy community back in the day.  Some of you may remember me; as I am a good friend of Cynthia Riddle’s. We met at Actualizations around 1983 and have remained friends since. As you know she was diagnosed with Inclusive Body Myositis about five years ago, and as the years have gone by this disease has become continually more disabling. Currently, there is no real treatment to stop the progression of this disease.

For more information about Inclusive Body Myositis please visit this website. www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/inclusion_body_myositis/inclusion_body_myositis.htm  

I visited Cynthia last fall, to help her with organizing and cleaning her home.  I spent almost two days there, cleaning, doing laundry, throwing things away and compiling bags for donation.   The next day I fixed her closet and took her shopping to get garage shelving for storage. All the while I was sadly shocked to see how truly compromised she has become due to this disease. 

Cynthia, being the fighter she is, never really complains or says much about how hard things are.   Now, not being able to walk up stairs, the challenges facing her are growing.  With her two daughters Emily and Julia, ages 10 and 6 at home and her husband only recently back at work, balancing finances, family time and health is a tall order to fill by herself. She is currently receiving disability help and benefits however, the help was unreliable.    

I reached out to all of you to help donate money for her cause.  We were able to raise enough money to bring in a home helper starting in November of 2012 until this June 2013.  Her name is Kathy Choma and she has been coming 3 days a week for a 1 ½ hours to help Cynthia with household chores.  

I know that times are difficult and if any of you could still donate money, please send to my address below with checks made out to me. 

Another idea that I have come up with to help her is this website site called: www.lotsahelpinghands.com

This website if you decide to join, will have a list and calendar that if you can donate your time to help with the various tasks around the house would be so appreciated.  

Any and all support will be put to excellent use!

Thank you again for your generous support!

Warmest Regards,

For those of you that don't know him, Jason Ferris could make you laugh when you felt like crying. His wit and his character are what made him one of the funniest people I have ever known.

Please consider donating a meal, a healthy snack, or a fun activity (color books, cards, games) to his son Dylan. Hopedale is an amazing community and it would be amazing if we could help this family out in a time of tragedy. Please deliver all meals and snacks to the coolers that will be provided at Christina's house. Thank you so much and I am sure they will appreciate it.

In order to help Kathy focus on getting better I'd like to organize meals for Kathy, Chris & Colin. Perhaps also schedule drives to & from chemo as needed. Once Kathy meets with her doctors we'll have a better idea of what will be needed & when. Please sign up if you are interested in helping out.

James Warren's Twelve Week Walk to Freedom
Lincoln, MA

Welcome to our Lotsa Helping Hands Community web site.

You will need to take a moment to JOIN THE COMMUNITY, and then you will be able to see the calendar and sign up to help James.

While our mutual brother, James, is going through his quest for renewed health, this site is to assist all of us from his and Dorothy's various community circles to mutually come together as a healing and helping force.

There are four ways we all can chip in and this one management tool is designed to helps coordinate all of that: Here are the major categories to look for:

Visitation - Two key factors here are the scheduling (making sure James is available) and balancing (making sure we don't all show up on one day with no one visiting for the rest of the week).

Transportation - from time to time James will need a ride to and from appointments, treatments and meetings. Volunteers with wheels will need to be plentiful as this is sometimes randomly occurring need.

Cooking - What James can eat and what nourishes him is a very specific and yet moving target. Volunteers should work directly with Dorothy and James when providing meals and suppliments.

Finite projects - These are things like cleaning James' Nashua home and other event-specific projects that we will list on the calendar on this site. The more volunteers the merrier!

We will have spokes to each of the sorrounding circles of friends so that all of us rooting for James can keep maximally informed and can rely on each other in providing the best care possible. Thank you all for your love and dedication.

If you need to reach James for a calendar event your signed up for call him at 603-860-5699.

Team Riley
Mansfield, MA

Over the past several years I have watched Mike & Blake fundraise, donate time, donate money, cook food (well maybe not actually 'cook' but buy food) and support every single possible cause they could. Whether it was a close friend, local family in town or even a complete stranger they will always step up to the support a family in need. It has always been inspiring to me, thats just the type of people they are.

Now we get the chance to finally either pay them back, pay it forward or just support them because we love them!! This site provides a place for people who want to be involved and lend a hand to do just that. Mike & Blake are in for a long battle ahead and I hope this site can help bring us all together and provide the best support possible.

Thanks again for taking the time to visit our site.

Welcome to our Milton MA Lotsa Helping Hands Community website. This site was created during the SNOW 2015 State of Emergency to HELP Milton residents.

It's a not-for-profit and not-for-political-gain website created and under development by and for Milton residents who are clearly identified with contact information below.

Neighborhood Associations are invited to create their own Community website using Lotsa Helping Hands to build a network throughout our town. Switch from one community to another at the touch of a fingertip!

Beth El's Caring Community
Needham, MA

Welcome to Beth El's Caring Community! For many years you have known us as Hevra Mishpacha; don't worry, we are still the same group, and still use the Hevra Mishpacha name, as well as the Caring Community. Hevra Mishpacha (HM) actually means "group of family/community", so calling ourselves a Caring Community is an pretty reasonable English translation!

We have moved the Caring Community online to make it easier to coordinate care for our community.
1. If you are looking for support, the HM monthly coordinator will still be your contact point. This person will enter your information into the website, and community members can then sign up online to provide support.
2. If you want to volunteer to help, simply log in to our website, check the calendar to see what needs there are, and sign up to provide care. If there is nothing listed, check back another time!
3. We continue to be respectful of privacy needs. If you are looking for support and do not wish for it to be on the community website, please let the monthly coordinator know and she/he will handle it privately.

Claude's Helping Hands
Northborough, MA

Because I have been entered into a Chemotherapy Clinical Trial, and am already experiencing some debilitating side-effects, I have created this community as a way to ask for help without putting anyone directly on the spot.

Many of you have offered to help, in any way you are able. I hope you will be able to commit to one or two tasks I post here.  This method allows me to post a need, and anyone can decide to take on the challenge.  I do not have to make multiple phone calls, and no one has to feel obliged to say yes.  This also allows everyone to see which tasks have been taken, and who will be performing it.  Again, avoiding many phone calls.

The Hogan's Helping Hands
Raynham, MA

As the Hogan's "baseball family", we have been trying to come up with ideas to help them! We decided to create this website to assist with coordinating meals, rides for the kids, take out gift cards, etc! So.....welcome to our Lotsa Helping Hands website aka "The Hogan's Helping Hands"!

Thank you so much for your generosity, thoughtfulness and desire to help.

I apologize in advance if you think we are being blunt. However, our mission is to ensure that your thoughtfulness directly translates to a tangible benefit to Patty, Brian and the Hogan family during this stressful time, and minimizes the stress on Brian & Patty in managing the network of generous and thoughtful friends who share a sincere desire to help.

Brian took a bad fall while at the beach with his family. He was feeling light headed & thought it was simply de-hydration. After being rushed to Beth Israel Hospital with a broken nose, fractured cheeks & several lost teeth, "Coach Hogan" was diagnosed with
a genetic heart problem.

On Saturday, 6/28, coach had open heart/aortic valve replacement at the Beth Israel. The doctors are hoping he will be well enough to be released on Tuesday, 7/1/14. From there, he will have a long road of recovery ahead of him.

He is scheduled to have facial surgery for his nose & cheek fractures on 7/9/14.

As you can all imagine, this has taken quite a toll on the Hogan Family & as their extended family, we want to do all we can to help ease the burden on the Hogans!

Heartworks of Rhode Island
Barrington, RI

We can do no great things in life, only small things with great love." - Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Heartworks is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization comprised of women in Barrington, RI who get together once a month to share ideas on how to reach out to each other and people in our community experiencing unexpected life challenges, grief, loss and medical diagnoses.  It is similar to a book club but instead of reading, the participants plan to do simple acts of kindness in and around the community.  We try to take time in each meeting to discuss a topic about life that connects us to living in the present and being grateful for what we have.  Our mission statement is “To develop deeper relationships with our community and with each other by performing acts of kindness each month to those experiencing unexpected life challenges.”

The original Heartworks is an act of kindness group that was started by a woman named Megan McDowell of Bernardsville, NJ.  It was inspired by the outpouring of support that her family received as a result of 9/11.  Her brother-in-law, John Farrell, was killed in the WTC attacks.  Her family received so much support from their community by way of small random acts of kindness that it helped to sustain them during an incredibly difficult time.  She vowed that once she was back on her feet that she'd pay forward the simple acts of kindness to others that needed help.  She invited her friends to get together once a month for appetizers, beverages, good intentions and to relate on a "heart level".

Amy Ames started the The Barrington Heartworks in May of 2007.  It started in her living room with 12 friends and has grown in size to over 200 members.  It is a unique experience as the meetings center around developing closer relationships within the group but also around performing various small acts of kindness for people in our town and wider community.  Anyone is invited to attend.  The meetings are usually the second Wednesday of every month.  It is an all-denominational group. 

For more information about the Barrington Heartworks, email Heartworksri@gmail.com. 

If you would like to make a financial contribution to support the mission of Heartworks, please click on the "donate" button below.  Heartworks RI is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation.

They have been so accomodating  and will be  delivering  the meals at no extra charge. All you have to do is call the day you have signed up to provide a meal. If you choose to make a meal it will be for Nicole and Charlotte.  Simply sign up from the Calendar section and you will deliver your meal that day.  Please do not hesitate to email me or call me at anytime if you have any questions. Thanks, Sarah Bates

Cooney's Food Court
Woonsocket, RI

Welcome to our Lotsa Helping Hands Community web site. This site provides a place for people in our area to go to request help as well as for volunteers to offer help and lend a hand. Patrick was diagnosed with T-cell Leukemia. He is in Dana Farber Hospital and will be there for over a month. When he is released he will be confined to his home for 7 or 8 months. The Cooney Family has another younger child. There main concerns right now are:
1) Preparing a safe, sterile environment for Patrick when he returns home. They were told they needed to remove most of their pets, including Patrick's beloved bird. They are hoping to find someone to home him temporarily so he can return to Patrick when he is better.
2) Meals for the family. Laura and Greg will be spending much of their time in Boston. When they have free time they would like to devote as much as they can to their daughter and other son. If we can help them not have to worry about a meal or picking up bread and milk - we can relieve some of their stress and burden.
