The Maleno Family-to-Family Fund team took down the remnants of the old fence and installed a sustaining, vinyl fence to enclose the entire backyard, ensuring the safety and well-being of a happy child; and ensuring peace of mind for his caring parents.

Debarah Clinton
In the past seven years Debarah Clinton had at least 6 mini-strokes. She currently has to walk with a cane and at times a walker. Debarah's caregiver shared that she worried about Debarah when she was not in the home with her. The conditions in Debarah's bathroom were such that she could have fallen and hurt herself at any time. Being on a fixed income limits Debarah’s financial ability to pay for repair services on her own. Without any family to assist her, Debarah tried to make some DIY repairs on her own, but is physically unable to do so, effectively.
Sornberger Family
Evie Sornberger, 72, has lived in her 115 year old home since 1973. This mother of 2, grandmother of 8, and great-grandmother of 8 more, has been self-sufficient and a real go-getter her whole life.
Crissman Family Project
Crissman - Family to Family Fund Project
Bill & Heidi Crissman have been happily together for over 30 years. Bill was diagnosed in 2014 with ALS/Lou Gehrig's Disease, an often terminal disease which slowly takes away the use of the body’s muscle tissue—even those used to breathe. They are optimistic, as there are cases where patients can live a longer life with special nutrition and care. ALS has taken away Bills strength and stamina, and is now using a walker and wheelchair.
Stephanie Brown Family
Stephanie Brown is a divorced mother of two who has had her fair share of turmoil since her family moved into their home in 2010. When they moved in she knew it needed some work and they were prepared financially to do so.
Lugo Family
The Maleno Family to Family Fund helped the Lugo family of 6. They have been in their home for over 26 years. They had been on the waiting list since October 2009, and had tried to keep up with their home repairs as they arose. The Lugo's replaced the roof on the back side of the house, but the roof on the main part of the house was in desperate need of replacement, as it would not last the winter.
Patricia Fronzaglia
Patricia Fronzaglia’s Warsaw Avenue home was renovated to suit her mobility needs, including reconstruction of several rooms.
Reynolds Family
Jayne and Emmitt Clover opened their North East home to their daughter Jennifer when she needed help caring for her husband and three sons.
