About 6 years ago I delivered a train set around Christmas from a group of us from the forum to a needy family. I run into the mother who works at one of the local grocery stores in my neighborhood. A couple of weeks ago I was talking to her and she told me someone broke in and had stolen some things one of which was the train set her son loved. The mother is now a single mom just getting by. Her youngest son with cerebral palsy is living in a nursing home and his mother pics him up and brings him home for 3 days during the week. Her son didn't know about the missing train yet. I felt bad and I knew I had to do something so I decided he was not going to do without a train set. I priced some sets and found a cool Lioncheif John dear diesel set with remote. I knew the NJHR have donated a couple of train sets at the club so I contacted NJHR president Ben Fioriello to see if they dealt with a dealer so I could possibly get some sort of a discount on a set. After I told Ben the story he got back to me the next day and said.."Chris you pick up the set and the set is on the club" WOW! I was shocked and extremely grateful of Ben and the clubs generosity to help a mom and child in need who they never met. This is one of the reasons why the NJHR is the best club on the planet! Not only is Trainstock a huge event for all of us but the club also has events threw the year sharing there passion for trains and bringing smiles and friendships to kids young and old. I recently became a proud member of the club and these guy's are the best of the best! I want to personally thank Ben and the club for Their generosity and making a child and mom very happy. Below is a picture of Mom after I presented it to her on behalf of the club. The smile on here face says it all!
