44. A “Thank You” Letter Dear Mr. Hinton, Thanksgiving is a time for sharing but after Super Storm Sandy, many of our families were wondering when they would be able to restock their panties and refrigerators, including myself. The many families you help each day, are truly grateful to have dinner for their families this Thanksgiving Holiday. On behalf of those families, I would like to say, thank you. For your kind donations and generosity. “ This was indeed a miracle” one mom was on her the last meal in her pantry. Yes, miracles come in many forms and for her that was a miracle, because after the Storm, she had to empty her refrigerator of all the spoiled food. Everyone was extremely grateful And that you were able to help in their time of need. Again, Thank you. God’s riches blessings upon you, your family, your organization and your church family. Mrs. Nerine Plummer, Heywood Avenue School PTA

45. Letter from East Orange City Councilwoman Mrs. Sharon Fields Dear Mr. Hinton, I want to thank you, and your organization for assisting Delores Brown. It was an extremely difficult time for this young woman who lost her mother, and four year-old son in a fire at 50 South Munn Avenue where she lost everything. The assistance with the living room, bedroom, bathroom, and all the necessities needed to start over were truly appreciated. The donations will help but not take away the pain of her loss, but will give some hope to her knowing that people care. The fact that you were diligent in making sure everything was delivered, and worked with her until everything was set up was wonderful. Knowing that there is an organization like yours is a blessing and relief for me so when tragedies like this occurs there is somewhere people can turn too.

46. From Assistant Principal, Dana D. Gaines Orange High School Dear Mr. Hinton, I want to thank you and the Family Assistance Resource Center for organizing and providing the opportunity for Orange High School students to attend the 10 th Annual Women’s Business Leadership Conference hosted by the National Minority Business Council. Orange High School has been committed to developing entrepreneurship in the creative minds of our young student. And with the support from organizations like F.A.R.C. our students are given access to platforms to which they may otherwise not have. On October 25, 2012, a small group of Orange High School female achievers who are interested in pursuing a career in the business world participated in a conference which promised to deliver insight and support towards their aspirations. Needless to say, the promise was delivered with an exceptional successful event. Some of the commentary offered by our student attendees includes the following: * “I never knew that Facebook, Twitter and other social media networks can be used to promote your business. That was really insightful.” --- Queen Pratt, 12 th Grade

47. * “The number of people who gave me their business card and offered to support me was amazing.” ---- Amanda Timran, 11 th grade * “The seminar on creating a business plan gave me a lot of great ideas that I will use when looking to start my own business.” --- Ivory Whitaker, 11 th grade * “I left the conference knowing so much more about starting my own business than when I entered. We need to have more of these opportunities.” --- Sherley Docelian, 12 th grade As these student testimonials attest, our group of Orange High School students thoroughly enjoyed themselves and left with valuable and powerful insight into the world of entrepreneurship. Again, on behalf of Orange High School, I want to thank you Mr. Hinton for your guidance and supervision and for the support of F.A.R.C. in the development of Orange High School’s future generation of entrepreneurs. Respectfully, Dana D. Gaines Assistant Principal, O.H.S. Continuation of Mr. Gaines letter of November 30, 2012
