“The Hope Connection” is a New York City Disaster and Relief Crisis Helpline  (718) 238-4600

Tuesday, September 11, 2001 will be a day that will be remembered as the day we lost our innocence.  It was a day when the world came crashing down on us, giving us no time to think or move. Our City, and the Nation, will never be the same again.  Thousands of lives were lost, and families are in mourning for lost loved ones. 

Christian Hope Network extends its deepest sympathy to those who have suffered a loss, and our prayers are going forth, trusting that God, in His love and mercy, will comfort all those who mourn. Our trust is in Him, and He is still in control.  We will rise up again and rebuild our lives and our city. We will stand together holding hands across this city and nation, with God as our Head. Never before in the history of our nation, have we faced such a crisis. But together we will face it, head on, and go forward. 

Our crisis helpline, “The Hope Connection,” (718) 238-4600 has been listed with the Red Cross, St. Vincent’s Medical Center, Bellevue Hospital, Rutgers University at NJ Serves on the Internet, and many other places of rescue. Our volunteers are here for you from the hours of 6:00 AM to Midnight to offer a listening ear, encouragement and hope,  prayer, and important referrals and hotlines.

If you need to talk to someone, please call.  We are here for you! (718) 238-4600
