H.E.A.R.T. 9/11 is proud to announce the completion of our latest project. We had offered H.E.A.R.T. 9/11’s services to a very worthy group. It is called “Friends of Firefighters”. This community-based organization is a nonprofit entity devoted to firefighters and their families. You can read all about them by clicking on: FRIENDS of FIREFIGHTERS
We answered their request to remodel a building in the Redhook section of Brooklyn located at 199 Van Brunt Street. It was once the former quarters of FDNY Engine 202 - Ladder 101. H.E.A.R.T. 9/11’s mission is to transform the second floor into several offices for counseling, create an area for physical therapy, and also remodel a kitchen and bathroom. This project was conducted over several weekends in April and May and had H.E.A.R.T. 9/11 board member John Viola in charge.

The response of our members was overwhelming and very gratifying. Throughout the three weekends we spent at the location we had a coalition of members from across the spectrum of occupations, crafts and endeavors. H.E.A.R.T. 9/11 wishes to thank all involved in making this a complete success. They include our members from the Construction & General Building Laborers’ Local 79 (Jose Chicas, in charge), FDNY active and retired, NYPD, PAPD, Sept 11 National Museum Staff, Brooklyn Wall of Remembrance Staff, Johnny Wund’s crew, individual volunteers and interns, and, of course, Friends of Firefighters led by Nancy Carbone. H.E.A.R.T. 9/11 President Bill Keegan, assisted by Keith Flyer, John Stack, Tony Sanpietro and Paul Dessert, were also on site lending a hand where needed to get the job done.
