Connecting People In Need...

Brenda’s daughter passed away from Leukemia, leaving her devastated and responsible for raising her five young grandchildren. Disabilities kept her from working and providing for her family. Exhausted by the heavy burden on her shoulders, she was unsure of where to turn...

Colleen couldn’t bare any more pain in her life. With a broken-down car, fewer hours at work, and piling bills, she was at a financial standstill. But more than anything, she was anxious for relief from the pain in her aching mouth. Nothing she did would ease the pain—not even taking 24 ibuprofens a day. Her only form of relief could come from a $30,000 surgery, which she was unable to afford. Willing to do anything from mowing lawns to babysitting children, she was desperate for a miracle...

Paraplegic and bound to a wheelchair, Dotty was the unfortunate victim of exploitation. A con man posing as a contractor, used her vulnerabilities to his advantage. He promised her renovations that he never intended to deliver. She paid him nearly $140,000, leaving Dotty penniless with barely any home improvements to show for it. She had lost all hope that her home would ever be restored...

Neighbors Helping Neighbors was founded in August of 1992, in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew. During this time, Miami-Dade and Broward County residents were faced with unbearable conditions, causing widespread distress and devastation. Many families were tasked with rebuilding their lives, leading them to rely on their neighbors who had the means to lend a helping hand. Inspired by the generosity of the local community, this organization was founded on the principle of bridging the gap between community challenges and the collective efforts to solve them.

With the help of CBS 4 News, Bank Atlantic and the Herbert W. Hoover Foundation, it has

organization, Neighbors 4 Neighbors in existence today.

“Helping Feels Good” is the message that Neighbors 4 Neighbors has been spreading throughout the South Florida Community. We connect those in need with those who can help. It’s that simple. Using a combination of resource development, collaboration with service providers and the power of media exposure, we empower our neighbors to use their talents, time and funds to help others in need.

...With People That Can Help...With People That Can Help Family Fund...Neighbors 4 Neighbors received multiple phone calls after Dotty’s television interview following the arrest of the contractor. Ultimately, Venetian Builders, a local contracting company, volunteered their services to rebuild her home. After assessing the condition of the property, Venetian Builders found that the simplest solution would be to start from scratch. Neighbors 4 Neighbors began recruiting every-day volunteers to donate their time to give Dotty back her home.

Any gift, good, or service, no matter how small is greatly appreciated and will go a long way to help someone in need.
