Superheroes in the sky.

Heroes soaring super high.

Batman, Superman, they save us from schemes.

But they’re not heroes

Heroes work behind the scenes…

Hi, LOVE, HALLIE family:

This is our once a year request for a financial contribution to LOVE, HALLIE, and I hope you will consider it.

Hallie’s words at age 10 speak loudly to us now, in this uncertain time when we’re all wondering “what can I do to make a positive change? How can I be a hero?”

There are so many challenges and so many opportunities. How do we choose? And what can we do?

LOVE, HALLIE’s mission has always been about inspiring and providing practical tools for young people to find their path to creating change.

Working with an all volunteer team, LOVE, HALLIE continues to take this on in three ways:

ChangeSpace In partnership with Culture Lab LIC, we are creating a safe, physical space that we hope will be replicated around the world where people who want to be change agents can:

Find inspiration

Learn about causes

Engage with others

Build their skills

Amplify their stories

Connect creativity to their changemaking

Carpe Diem We are using Hallie’s story, words, and art to inspire change agents through

• Books
• Video
• In-person Presentations & Performances
• Exhibits

Hallie’s Angels Our youth-led action groups choose the causes they want to address and decide how to address them to make a better world.

Your financial contribution will enable LOVE, HALLIE in 2025 to conduct ChangeSpace programs at Culture Lab, including the 2025 Better World Festival, to support the creation of additional Hallie’s Angels chapters (we’re excited about the one blossoming at P.S. 11 in Queens!), and to find publishing, distributing, broadcasting, creating, presenting partners to continue to share Hallie’s inspiring messages of love, empathy and action. On that last front, we are delighted that all 64 Queens Public Library branches will have Hallie’s book The Earth, illustrated by Casey Conselmo, on their shelves in 2025.

We make a lot happen with a little – every dollar you contribute by clicking https://lovehallie.networkforgood.com/projects/241513-lhf-2024-campaign or by mailing your contribution to LOVE, HALLIE, 41-15 46th Street, 6S, New York, NY, 11104 makes a profound difference!

Thanks to all of you who have volunteered. There are always many roles to be filled –  let us know if you’d like to play!

Here’s the final line of Hallie’s Superheroes poem —

Heroes aren’t about Batman — 

Who’s a hero? I am!

Stay hopeful, keep loving, and “do something special” every day!

Carpe diem and love,

Ted

There has been ongoing debate over the issue of immigration and refugees for many months here in the U.S. and around the world.

And in June, there is a day dedicated to refugees — to raise awareness to their needs and plight, realizing the horrors they have endured in leaving their homeland to find a safe place to live. It’s a time to try to work together to ensure every refugee child gets an education, every family has a safe place to call home and every refugee can work or learn new skills to make a positive contribution to their community.

And now, thousands of refugees are also united by one flag. An orange and black flag inspired by the life vests most all had to wear in their search for a safer land to live. It’s been designed and made by a Syrian refugee and artist who currently lives in Amsterdam.

The idea for the flag began by a group known as the The Refugee Nation, after the first ever Olympic team made up of refugees competed in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. While the flag has not yet been sanctioned by the International Olympic Committee, The Refugee Nation wants to give those from foreign nations a symbol of unity and identity that they can call their own.

Right now, refugees are asking for the public’s support in their efforts to resettle. Everyone can help by buying and displaying this special flag and help the refugees adjust to their new surroundings in the U.S.

Our guest — Meron Semedar is an advocate of human rights, refugees and immigrants (and a refugee himself). He will address the current situation of refugees, discuss how and why this unique and special flag was created, and explain how we all can help.

That’s why, West and Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., are teaming up to help those living with AFib by offering a simple tool they can use to calculate their stroke risk at www.MyAFibRisk.com. It’s eight easy questions that can help those with AFib understand their risk and talk with their doctor about stroke risk management and treatment options.

For every person who goes to the website and calculates their risk, Janssen will make a contribution to Mended Hearts, a nonprofit peer-to-peer support network that inspires hope and helps to improve the quality of life for heart patients, their families and caregivers.

Dr. Mark J. Alberts will join Jerry West to address the risk of stroke associated with AFib and the importance of working with a doctor to determine an appropriate treatment plan that can help lower patient risk.

THE FACTS
• Jerry West is currently an executive board member of the Golden State Warriors, who recently won the 2015 NBA Championship
• West played for the Lakers from 1960 to 1974, and is believed to be the inspiration for the NBA logo
