Dear New Yorker

December 22, 2018

It is freezing temperatures outside and Aleksander Nilaj (Alex) is handing out the last remaining flyers to invite those in need to come and pick up a warm Coat at the nearby Nicodemus Social Club. Alex and the Albanian American Open Hand Association and his partners, Miriam Quin and DardaMEDIA are giving out Coats to the most vulnerable and less fortunate of the Bronx. Over a period of several months they’ve collected over 200 coats in preparations to help the needy for the freezing winter is on our doorstep.

Alex is an Albanian who came to the States over a decade ago and following the teachings of St.Mother Teresa he wholeheartedly gives back to the community and to the less fortunate and he does it with great Love

like St.Mother Teresa taught us to. From Albania he brought with him not only the teachings of St. Teresa but also the experience as he has been working with the Red Cross helping those in need back home and continues to help those in need here in the Bronx.
