by Michael Nadler 22 Apr '19

22 Apr '19

Dear Neighbors, We are again letting our neighborhood know that we will be driving the neighborhood picking up for the monthly FOCUS Collection this Wednesday, 24 APR 19. We will be around the neighborhood at 9:00 AM on that WEDNESDAY morning, so if you have non-perishable food items, Spring/Summer Clothing, etc. are all needed, as We are running our monthly pick-up from the neighborhood for Supplies for FOCUS !!! We have attached a letter in regards to what they need, but most importantly it is FOOD, Clothing, etc. are all needed at this time. Last month we took our Van Loaded, and it was so needed and so much appreciated. Mike and Brigette Nadler, are coordinating the Highland Park pick up. If you are inclined to help, leave the supplies on your front porch and we will pick up and get your donations to FOCUS. So we are doing this again this Wednesday, 24 APR 19. We will be around starting at 9:00 AM, and need to get the donations there by noon. Please DO NOT drop off here, as we do not have a way of storing donations. Just email us your actual address to: mike(a)divehards.com<mailto:mike@divehards.com>, to let us know what to expect to pick up (as well as what not to take off your porches !!!), and we will get back to you. MAKE SURE that there is a Phone Number so that we can reach you during collection times, should there be any questions. FOCUS Pittsburgh, located in the Hill District, is part of a national movement through the Orthodox Church, that helps to fight poverty in communities across America. One of their areas in need is keeping their food pantry stocked with food and supplies. Currently, their shelves are empty and they need help. The above attachment highlights what they need. It could change on a monthly basis, at which point that need will be communicated. FOCUS Pittsburgh has been in the Hill since 2011. Each week, hundreds of backpacks are distributed to children in the Hill and Southside Public Schools. They offer an 8-week professional development class that teaches non-technical job skills to promote employment and success in the workplace. Bag lunches are distributed every Saturday through the Churches....140 lunches to be exact. In 2014, they opened a free medical and behavioral health clinic for people who are uninsured or who don't qualify for medical assistance. Most recently, they have purchased an RV, trained dozen of volunteers, and have formed a trauma response team -- responding to homicides in Allegheny County by providing on-site psychological and mental health care to residents affected by violence. In advance, thank you for your consideration.

Missing/Escaped Cat (Collins St.)
by Darrah Bird 22 Apr '19

22 Apr '19

Hi neighbors, we think our indoor cat Julian managed an escape over the weekend. She is very skittish, so likely will be difficult to catch. She is a notorious collar houdini and we think she was not wearing one at the time of her escape. If she was, it would be pink. If you have seen her, we would so appreciate an update. Her cat brother is particularly distressed. She does have a clipped ear as if she were feral, however, she is definitely a beloved pet. In the photo included she is the cat pictured sitting in the rear, all black except for a white patch on her chest, and a clipped left ear. She is small, short haired, and an EXPERT hider. We are doing the usual things (cat litter around house, bed outside, stinky food) today. We are working on obtaining a humane trap, however, if you have one we could borrow or rent from you we would appreciate it! Please let us know if you see her. You can shoot me an e-mail or contact my husband PJ directly (412-867-6965). We would definitely offer a reward for her return as well. [image: Jules single.jpg] -- Darrah Bird

Looking for babysitter
by Shannon Daly Striner 22 Apr '19

22 Apr '19

Hi Neighbors, I need a weekly babysitter on Wednesdays or Fridays (your choice) from 11 am - 1:30/2 pm, and an occasional date night sitter. $15/hour. I have two girls ages 6 and almost 3. Sometimes, it will be just the 3 year old. I should mention that my 3 year old has Down syndrome, but she's your typical threenager. She does need to be carried a bit more than your average 3 year old and she can feel heavy because of her muscle tone. If you're interested, let me know, and we can meet at Farmhouse playground for a small play date to start. References needed. Thanks very much. -- Shannon Striner Mom, Advocate, Blogger @ ThisLifeWeGot.com (215)779-0886
