BECOME A PART OF OUR HEARTS AND HANDS MEMORIAL

To All,

As you know we are steadily moving forward with our plans to complete the Hearts and Hands Memorial in time for the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

Last weekend we began filming the site for a documentary of the process.

As part of the documentary we will like to interview those we have worked with over the past 8 years.

We want to let people know how important it is that we get this done.

We want show how so many came together to help with the healing process after 9/11 and how this Memorial will continue that process with:

The United in Memory 9/11 Victims Memorial Quilt

A 21,000 square foot Memorial Garden

Personal photos of all of the victims (including those who have died as a result of the aftermath of 9/11) arranged in alphabetical order by affiliation with no naming restriction.

A studio for visitors to record or hear personal stories about "THE PEOPLE" who died as a result of 9/11, as we must never forget the individuals, the mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, husbands, wives, significant others, uncles, aunts, grandchildren and grandparents who perished as a result of the attacks of 9/11/01.

If you would like to be a part of this documentary please let us know.

We want your input.....We need your input.

We are restoring the old kitchen and dining area of the Sea View campus on Staten Island.

This is part of an abandoned hospital site built in 1913.

The site where the cure for tuberculosis was discovered.

We want to show that rebuilding and healing can go hand in hand if done for the right reasons.

So we will rebuild on the site that saved thousands upon thousands of lives and attempt to instill that healing process in every step of this project.

Creating a peaceful, serene and respectful memorial to honor those who were taken from us.

A place where people will come for the right reasons.

To learn about the "PEOPLE" who died as well as the good and bad that happened after 9/11.

So that our children and their children will be able to know these people and hear the true story about 9/11 from those who lost loved ones as well as those who came together in the greatest outpouring of caring and generosity that the world has ever seen.

We made a commitment to the 9/11 families to get this done.

Help us make this dream a reality.
