CARE for Sandy

Images in this album are currently being restored by volunteers. Once restorations are complete, representative photos will be removed from this location and into one of three Before + After albums. If you have submitted photos for restoration, watch this gallery closely. When you spot one of your treasures note the adoption date listed below your pic. Volunteers have promised to try to complete a given restoration within 3 months. This is the best way to estimate when your restoration will be ready. Click here to learn more about our post-submission process. (Our Adopted! album may also be followed on Flickr as a cascading photo wall, with forwarding and commenting options.)

  RE-ADOPTED BY: CFS (New York, NY) 9/5/14 ||| Thanks to our new volunteer for the rescue! ||| ABANDONED BY: Natalie McManus (Waxhaw, NC) 7/24/13 ||| Presume abandoned a year later, with zero communication from volunteer, including no answers to emailed update queries. PLEASE do not adopt photos if you do not intend to restore them. Or at minimum be willing to let us know before a given 3-month deadline has passed that you no longer have the time or skill. This sets false expectations for families. And this poor family is still awaiting its first restoration. : (
