Bad Girls Good Deeds MYLOW Sale
Yokas Boslarelli
of Reverbnation filmed part of his documentary on Sunday, June 28th. It chronicles an unexpected journey chasing down the awareness and hidden truth
behind the expanding act of paying it forward. He found out
about the organization Bad Girls Good Deeds and filmed at their event, MYLOW
Drop Day. Mrs. New Jersey 2014 made an
appearance to the BGGD cause and dropped off some donations. Brett’s Fire Photos donated his time and
photographed part of the event.
Bad Girls Good Deeds is an organization whose mission is to help those who fall through the proverbial cracks of receiving assistance from other sources. The current cause, MYLOW, My Life On Wheels benefits Connor Fogal. Connor, the beneficiary, has Cerebral Palsy and is in a wheelchair. Although he does not have good use of his arms or hands, that does not stop him from painting with a head pointer. He is very talented, always sees the bright side, and is a true optimist. The group is collecting gently used and new items to later be sold at a yard sale on July 13th from 9-4 at 227 Boulevard New Milford, NJ 07646. All proceeds will go to Connor’s tuition for a two year special college program that will prepare him to get a job.
He was accepted into the Path to Independence Program at the University of Reno, Nevada. It is a two year certificate program for the handicapped that allows him to take classes and eventually find a job. Due to the fact that he received an adjusted diploma, he does not qualify for student loans or grants. He will be taking classes in Video Editing, Audio Editing, Photography, and Art. This program will cost $10,0000 for the two years. The Bad Girls group will be selling all of the items that were collected on drop day on July 13th from 9-4 at 227 Boulevard, New Milford, NJ 07646. All proceeds will be given to Connor Fogal to be used towards his tuition.
