Help the Jakubowskis

Currently, nothing much has changed with our house.   We are still not able to go home and we are still paying our mortgage.  It’s been about a year since we have left the home.  Fortuneatly,  the Knights of Columbus sponsored a fundraiser/benefit for us that has helped us out alot. (Thank you to all who could attend.)  As far as the future is concerned, maybe we will be blessed with a home makeover from ABC, if not, well…we’re still working on plan B.  We are determind to go home someday.  Thanks to all again for your support and prayers.

We’re very sorry but we’ve had to postpone the Poker Tournament until we can find a non-profit organization that can obtain a permit for the event. 

This tournament will be at The Elks Lodge on Cudworth Rd. in Webster, Ma.   Doors open at 6pm and the tournament starts at 7pm sharp.  Tickets are now available for this benefit that has been organized by some friends of ours.  Tickets can be obtained for a $50 donation.  Tickets are first come first serve, due to limited space.  If you are interested or have any questions please send an e-mail to jakpokernight@yahoo.com.  In your e-mail please include the number of tickets you would like and a contact number or e-mail we can reach you at. 

If you have a small business or a big business and would like to make a $100 donation to sponsor the event, there will be a table for sponsors to display business cards, flyers, or other promotional items.  Please let us know if your company is interested so that we can make appropriate arrangements by e-mailing jakpokernight@yahoo.com.

We’re looking forward to seeing you there.  Thank you all again for your continued support.

    So…you think you can play poker, huh?   Some friends of ours are planning a poker tournament that will raise money for us to demolish our house. (Believe it or not, demolition alone has been estimated at $10,000-$20,000)  So, poker fans tell your friends, and have your friends tell their friends, etc.   Even if you don’t play poker stop by anyway, there will be some items that will be auctioned off in a silent auction.

 Details coming soon…stay posted!

 Sincerely

On 3-8-07 we recorded a video as part of our application to Extreme Makeover Home Edition.  We are very thankful that so many of you could attend to show your support.  Even if we are not chosen it’s a good feeling to know that our community is there for us.  Your presence has lifted our spirits.  Thank you all so much. 

We haven’t heard anything from EMHE, but we are praying that they see that we have an immediate need for a safe and healthy home.  Thanks again to all for your support.

Hi,

All comments have to be approved before they appear on the blog. This means that there may be a delay before you can view your comments.

On Tuesday October 10th our family was devastated to learn that we had to leave our home because of a very serious mold issue. Along with our home we’ve left our daily routines, entertainment, simple joys, and neighbors behind. It took a week before we really understood that we would not be able to return to our home for an indefinite amount of time. I don’t think that anyone would easily accept the fact that almost everything you’ve worked for was right in front of you but it was having adverse affects on your health (possibly for the rest of your life).

Since then our family, friends, neighbors, and complete strangers have opened their hearts for us. Two weeks ago we were overwhelmed with grief and sadness. Now we are blessed with kindness, love, support and hope. As we tuck our children into bed we can honestly tell them that we will someday be able to go home thanks to the hope of all of you. With these thoughts on our minds we thank all family, friends and strangers with the deepest appreciation. Your support and prayers will always touch our hearts.
