Looking to make a huge difference in someone's life? 
Have limited time to contribute? 
Here's a suggestion.
 We are always in need of additional volunteers to drive our dear Angel 
to her medical appointments in New Brunswick. 
                        It requires only an hour or two of your time in either the morning or afternoon. 
Any days that you are available to help are greatly appreciated!
       Contact Barbara Moreno at bpmoreno@aol.com or 732-816-3157.
