or those who agree its better to give
than receive, there is an opportunity
banging on the door of a shelter organization that could help hundreds of
women and children who may be left on the
street if the mortgage is not paid.
Secret Santas may be long gone, but
there has to be an angel out there willing to
hold the mortgage of Strengthen Our Sisters, a grassroots, community based nonprofit, program serving homeless/battered
women and children for more than four
decades. Faced with mortgage conflicts, the
shelter has to come up with $30,000 by Jan.
15 to avoid foreclosure.
Established in 1977 as Shelter Our Sisters - the first shelter for battered women in
North America- the organization changed
its name to Strengthen Our Sisters (SOS)
and grew to eight houses, two day care centers, a food pantry and a thrift store. The
properties value a total of $2.5 million,
with just under $600,000 left to be paid.
With restricted monies coming in, the organization is at risk of closing its doors to
hundreds of women and children with no
other safe place to go.
I dont know what would happen to
these people, says Sandra Ramos of Ringwood, founder and executive director of
SOS. If we dont get help with the mort-
gage people will be on the street. If someone wants to be an angel and save our mortgage that would be great.
Ramos explains if we had the $30,000
it would be the drop down money if someone could give it.
Rialto Capital Management Advisors in
Florida, the company that is holding the
mortgage bridge loan, did not return phone
calls to New View Media Group as of press
time. Valley National Bank had sold the
mortgage to Rialto when SOSs funding
was reduced, says Ramos.
During this year and one half, they
have seen our reliability and commitment
to avoid foreclosure by paying $30,000
every three months, which is directly applied to the principal, along with a monthly
payment of $7,000, says Ramos. SOS has
done this faithfully, although it has been
challenging.
Ramos, a pioneer advocate for battered
women, started her first shelter in 1970 in
her three bedroom home in Hackensack.
She had three small children at the time,
was facing divorce after ten years of marriage and was in need of a roommate, she
explains.
I wanted a roommate, says Ramos, so
she put the word out that she wanted to
share her house. The ones who came to me

rearing its head,
spring feels very
far away indeed. But with
something to look forward
to, perhaps winter will not
feel so very far after all.

year has come and gone since I have taken the
reins as editor of New View Media Group Newspapers and what a positive journey it has been.
Being part of a company that has doubled in size, from
eight monthly papers to 17, has been so exciting but the
greatest joy for me has been being on the forefront of so
many wonderful stories that surround us every day. Most
other newspapers will fill their pages with police stories,
obituaries, car accidents, suicides, murders, disasters, law
suits, political battles and controversial issues that busy municipal governments and school boards.
While every journalist craves that news breaking story
or that shocking incident for that hard-nose reporter to capture all those details whether gory or devastating, there is
nothing quite refreshing or satisfying than covering a feel
good story that tugs at heart strings and puts a smile on
ones face.
My days this past year have surrounded me with stories
about the kindest people who have given their time, mind
and spirit to help others in need; who have gone above and
beyond in their endeavors or jobs; who have put other peoples lives before theirs; or about events that bring joy to
the community or raise needed funds or supplies for a particular issue or charity; and even about communities and

Layups 4 Life...
disbursement of funds has not yet been decided for this year, it is likely that the
money raised from the challenge will again
go to the same categories within MSKCC.
The Layups 4 Life main challenge consists of a 3-on-3 basketball tournament
open to both boys and girls ages 15 and up.
This challenge invites Roxbury residents to
compete and, as Exter explains, the challenge is open to the Roxbury community
and beyond, having stated that lasts
years event consisted of teams from all
over the east coast such as participants
from New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts.
The teams can be co-ed and in the past
had members from ages 15 up to 50. The
cost for registration is $25 per team member and teams consist of four members.
The cost of registration goes up to $30 per
team member after April 4.
This tournament gives a chance for anyone and everyone to show their skills on
the court as well as an opportunity to honor
family and friends who continue their battle with cancer. Exter recalls that many
teams make t-shirts with their team name
and one team last year had shirts to honor
their friend still fighting cancer. This tournament is a great reminder of the strides
that have been made to combat cancer,
with Exter being living proof, but it is also
proof that the battle has not yet won for
everyone.
An overall winner of the tournament
will be chosen at the end of the event. Last
year the winners were presented with a
gym bag with the Layups 4 Life logo on it
and spectators who participated in the raffle and silent auction were able to win an
array of gift certificates donated by local
businesses as well as professional sports
memorabilia. Exter says a prize is hopefully in the works for this years winners
as well.
With last years tournament the Layups
4 Life challenge raised more than $10,000
with 40 teams registered to play and 300
spectators in the stands, the Layups event
had quite the draw. With this years event

he New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) announced the 2015-16 Governors Educator of the Year
