I have so many people to thank.......

In memory of my grandmother Hazel Florence Elizabeth Specht Tanzola, you and grandpa showed me what love truly was and were always my biggest cheerleaders; here she comes, Ms. My Great Grandmother's Sadee and Angelina; My Grandfather George, Great Grandfather Matteo, and Great Great Grandfather Gregorio; Aunt Linda Tweed; you will always have a special place in my heart, My Grandparents James and Jeanette Tweed. To my husband Neil, thank you for your strength to continue this ride of life with me. The Turkot's you are all the first to help me getting me started on this journey. Lawrence and Debra Casha thank you for being my rock and for adopting me into your family. To my Russian, Ukrainian, Ashkenazi Jew and all the ancestors that suffered to make sure I had a better life then they did, your sacrifices have not been forgotten. You have all inspired me and kept me going in life, without all of you and the love I wouldn’t be alive today. I am strong because of all your strength. Grettel Hernandez and my family in Costa Rica; TQM. To my family that adopted me from Overlook Hospital, my fellow light workers, I love you all. Dr. Ryan C and all the other medical professionals that never turned their back on me and advocated for me when I couldn’t do it for myself. Samia, you capture true love though the lens. Joe and Judy Parenta, I have known you for 42 years and we still have that love; Rachael Parenta, my first friend (that says it all). The Princeton House trauma family, thank you. My mother Dara and father George, you created one strong woman will never stop fighting for the rights of others. Carol Katz Beyer you are the first person that opened up all these avenues for me and have still been a support. Jessica Blanchard Holton thank you for all the education, you are the best at what you do and I am so grateful.

Every year we have accepted donations of new and used bras, donating them to women in need, regardless of their reason. My wife Rachel LOVED this collection and I know she would be on board for this collection too. This year we will be supporting our friends at Howard's Mission, The Gellman Foundation. Please read the history behind this community movement!

🎀 Breast Cancer Awareness Bra Drive 🎀

What began as one woman’s journey of healing has grown into a powerful community movement. 💗

This October, join us in supporting survivors and women in need by donating new or gently used bras of all sizes and styles. Each contribution helps provide not just clothing, but also dignity, comfort, and confidence to those facing hardships.

Drop-off Location: 8 E. Frederick Pl., Cedar Knolls, NJ OR private message us for our address in Montville. Donations will be accepted all month long and together, we can turn compassion into action.

We recently received an amazing donation of toiletry kits from Maeve in Vermont. Maeve is about to celebrate her Bat Mitzvah and she chose The Hazel Project as the recipient of these kits as part of her Mitzvah project. This kind of a donation is heartwarming, as Maeve has chosen to help the people we support, so many hundreds of miles from her own home. Great job Maeve and thank you so very much!
