Our clients, contributors and volunteers hear about us through local newspapers, friends, and various organizations (i.e. social services, churches, synagogues, etc.) Our volunteers prepare press releases, we have a Speakers Bureau: consisting of volunteers who are more than willing to speak to an organization; providing them with information about us. If you know of an organization that might want to know more about Rebuilding Together Long Island, Inc., please call (516) 541-7322 or (516) 741-5291 or contact us by e-mail at info@rebuildingtogetherli.org and arrangements can be made to have a speaker attend their next meeting.
"On behalf of J., I want to express our gratitude to your organization and to your group of dedicated volunteers. They were unbelievable!!!
We had been searching for help and were caught up in the bureaucratric and somewhat political social service network when we found Rebuilding Together. In less than three weeks you opened a door through which J. can access the world outside, by building her an amazing wheelchair ramp. You put a smile on her face at a time when she has little to smile about. Your volunteers are awesome and we can't thank them enough!!!"

"I walked out early this morning and felt as if I was walking along the Jones Beach
Boardwalk….that same feeling of peacefulness, tranquility and calm came over me walking
the 72 feet! If I felt that way, I am confident that the many kids and adults in wheelchairs will
feel the same and isn't that what counts? And then, as if that wasn't a big enough project, we
will finally have our own state of the art outdoor shower for the Pal-O-Mine students during the
summer……..this is something we have wanted for several years.
Thank you for getting involved, for giving back and for making a difference. It is community
partnerships that continue to enhance Long Island and I appreciate the dedication to the not for
profit community that Rebuilding Together demonstrates.
Please visit our website at pal-o-mine.org to learn more about the programs and children and
adults we serve. I am proud to add you on our list of supporters!"

"Words do not do justice for the profound thanks that we feel toward your organization and its memebrs, providing the services you have rendered for my wife and myself. The professionalism, respect and overall willingness to do what you have done have made us forever grateful.
With your help, my wife who has very limited mobility, has greater access to our home and facilities. In these difficult times we struggle through trying to make ends meet. As we get older, we needed modifications to our home but were not able to make these changes. Rebuilding Together has provided to us a brand new handicapped accessible bathroom, which these days would be extremely taxing on us and otherwise would not be able to have. You have done other modifications and maintenance to our home that has greatly eased my wife's ability to get around the house and improved the overall appearance and made it much more livable."

"Funny how things happen: We had recently received some money via the will of a dear friend who had passed last April at the age of 97. We had already decided to give it to charity and I had been intending to write you a check for weeks now, but sadly had not gotten around to it. So I had to smile when I received your letter a few days ago - it was like a song on the side of my head from God saying "Send the check already!!"
No need to thank me for the enclosed. Thanks should go to our dear 97 year old friend, M. C. I know she be pleased it was going to be used to do so much good!
Thanks again for the opportunity to help your wonderful work!"

"You had no idea who I was. That did not matter to you. I was someone who needed your help, and there you were ready to give it. You have made me very happy. It is a dream. One week my house was in need of so many tings, and the next week my house is like a palace. I can never thank you enough."

"Aunt H loved her deck and ramp immensely. It gave her freedom and who wouldn't enjoy that. Secondly, we powerwashed and stained the little deck that you folks were nice enough to re-create. It's a real asset to the house and we appreciate your generosity."
Kathleen |
"T and I would like to thank you so much for aiding her in being able to do the simplest things as taking a shower and using the bathroom. I am truly blessed in meeting you and for the years it took for T's dream to come true is well worth it."

"There just aren't words enough to express my appreciation and heartfelt thanks to you. I have never had a loving blessing such as yours. My roof was coming down and I could see daylight and heavy rains in the rooms. I felt so helpless and God led me to you."

"Your organzation is truly a blessing to people like me who have no one and no finances at all to ever cover all the fixings. You've made it possible for me to have some peace of mind so I can still be able to stay in my home, the only "roots" I know.
