Labor Day bike ride on the GAP Trail to help work in Haiti
by Rhonda Newton Smith 17 Jul '23

17 Jul '23

Dear HP neighbors, I wanted to share with you about a fully-supported bike ride that I help to organize called the Bike4Haiti. It's a fundraising ride and there are 3 different length options -- a Family Fun Ride around the downtown area (less than 15 miles), a 1-day long ride from downtown to Connellsville (~65 miles), or a 2 1/2 day ride on the Great Allegheny Passage from Pittsburgh to Cumberland (150 miles). There's a distance for everyone. We provide meals, snack/drink stops along the way, a support vehicle in case of breakdowns or injuries, as well as transportation back to the start line for the longer two rides. *Come out and join us for an unforgettable ride! *Get more info and register for the Bike4Haiti here <https://www.haitih2o.org/bike4haiti>. Hurry before registration closes for the multi-day rides in a few weeks. The Bike4Haiti raises funds for the work of Haiti H2O: Hope to Opportunity, a non-profit founded by 2 local HP families in 2006. As you may know, there is extreme turmoil and hardship in Haiti at this time, but I want to assure you that I know the people and places where Haiti H2O works. Our organization has been partnering in these communities for years and *I've gotten to see firsthand the strength and perseverance of the leaders in these villages* that continue to help their neighbors in spite of extreme challenges. We send funds directly to our Haitian staff and they oversee each project and provide reports from the community leaders. Some current projects include: - hosting quarterly medical clinics in 3 communities to provide regular care where there are no doctors - building homes for families and single mothers that have lost theirs in storms/earthquakes - constructing and providing seed funding for micro-businesses - starting a farming cooperative to help with local food supplies Thank you for considering and feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Rhonda

Cleaning help?
by EC 17 Jul '23

17 Jul '23

I recently had some surgeries and realize it will be some time before I can do my own housecleaning. I have a 1300 sf apartment in Shadyside, near Calvary and Sacred Heart churches. Convenient to bus lines. I’d love to hear from anyone who could give me a hand. This could turn into a regular every 2-3 week gig. Thanks!

Tree service and roofer
by Stephen Miles 17 Jul '23

17 Jul '23

Hey neighbors, We had some minor damage in last week’s storm and are looking for recs for a good tree service to handle some limited removal of large branches stuck on the roof (and perhaps some pruning). We also had some damage to our porch roof so if anyone knows a good roofer for a small job or a handyman, recommendations also welcome there! Thank you! ~~~ Stephen Miles stephenmiles42(a)gmail.com
