This note is a thank you to the staff of Neighborhood Connections, and especially to Regina Downer, Community Nurse, who assisted me with my life-changing medical situation.  Regina assisted me with scheduling and participating in the required medical teleconference call with Dartmouth-Hitchcock Neurosurgeon, Dr. Robert Singer.  I was diagnosed with a dural arteriovenous fitsula wrapped around my lower spine, rending me unable to make the trip to Dartmouth.  Regina studied my unique condition, educated herself and particpated in the conference call with Dr. Singer, while taking notes for me.

The support from Neighborhood Connections was a blessing in getting the help I needed.  Thankfully, the medical procedure, to repair the fitsula and the rehab I received, I am recovered and walking again.   Londonderry is so fortunate to have these many Neighborhood Connections supporting our community."

It's hard to know where to begin. Mary Claire puts together such a wide range of topics that it is hard not to find something of interest to me or my community-- and that shows what a good community organization NC is.  Of course, I am particularly pleased with the offerings of the master gardeners.

​When Mary Claire first reached out to us, I immediately contacted her.  One of our members, Somara Zwick, has been working with her since to bring gardening topics to NC and the community.  All of our speakers have received a warm welcome and an enthusiastic reception."

The Meeting Place at Neighborhood Connections is a valuable and vital community resource.  People gather to hear thought provoking presentations, to learn and share new skills, to exchange ideas, view documentaries and much more.  The joy of discovery and the possibility of forging new friendships make this a special place.  Check it out -- you'll be glad you did!"

Neighborhood Connections in Londonderry VT has been and continues to be a very valuable asset to our community on many levels.  For me personally  as a "Tai Chi for Health and Fall Prevention" instructor, I am very grateful for the opportunity of sharing this gentle exercise and art form to many participants in the surrounding towns on a continuing basis.  Also, Carlene Lindgren and I have been happy to raise awareness by showing environmental films and documentaries at this venue on an ongoing basis to all who are interested.

​I want to stress how very much I appreciate the great kindness, help, support, and openness of the staff and volunteers, particularly Mary Clare Schwartz, events coordinator.  Furthermore, as a participant myself, I am always amazed at the diversity and interest levels of events developed and coordinated here on a monthly basis.

Neighborhood Connections is family. Whenever I have needed something, they always stepped in to help and have assisted in steering me in the right directions.  When my wife passed away, Noreen was there and helped every step of the way.  I was lost and she helped me organize the cremation and was there for every detail.  If it wasn't for Noreen, I would not have made it through.  Noreen regularly check in to see how I am doing of if I need anything. She is a huge asset to Neighborhood Connections.

​NC is user friendly and have a great deal of flexibility in the services they are able to provide.  I am glad they don't receive any state or federal funding as I believe it helps them maintain this flexibility.  In return for all they do for me, I am also always there for Neighborhood Connections to help them in any way I can."

I don't know where to start... Medically: I felt that I had no options, nowhere to turn.  I was giving up hope of ever regaining my healthy life.  A close friend suggested I call Neighborhood Connections.  At NC, my healing journey began.  With Regina's help and guidance, I became a patient at Mt. Sinai Disease Center in Manhattan.  Finally, I found that my voice and my explanations of symptoms were heard!  I continue on this healing journey and I maintain my connection with Regina, who helps me with emotional support and guidance.

​I would not have gotten this far without the help I received at NC.  I also want to thank Noreen, the social worker at NC, for her persistence with the VT Office of Disability on my behalf.  With her diligence and guidance, I have been able to successfully manage communications with that office."

​Neighborhood Connections is amazing as they helped me and my child progress in our life.  They provided housing, transportation to important meetings and appointments, and assisted with clothing for my child and other needs. We also enjoyed being involved with the TOTS group!"
