This money was instrumental in helping the Alliance move forward and update the office technology. Computers, faxes, e-mail and more were implemented into the daily office routines due to this generous donation by Nellie.

It helped the Lupus Alliance move into the building that we still reside in today at Centre Avenue in Bellmore. It allowed us to move into bigger offices, with storage space and a conference room and really helped move us along into bigger and better things.

We were also able to expand our Let Kids be Kids program, using money from this bequest to supplement the NYS grant obtained from Senator Fuschillo.

We chose to dedicate February’s Donor of the Month page to Nellie and her family for their enormous generosity. We have moved forward in so many ways thanks to her bequest, and all of our members should be grateful.
