In Lovng Memory of Joe McKenzie Hamilton
Donation protected
When we remember beloved husband, father, brother, son, friend and advocate for the poor, Joe McKenzie-Hamilton, charity comes to the fore. He spent his life sacrificing for others at the New York Catholic Worker, in Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador, points more distant around the world and at home with his family and friends.
We were all saddened by his sudden and unexpected passing on July 8th. Joe is survived by his loving wife Sabra, and children, Adam, Sophia and Brendan. They must now carry on without Joe and without the benefit of the financial support he provided to the family.
Joe, Sabra and their children have been so giving to so many over three decades and we are asking now, in their time of grieving and need (university tuition being one such expense coming in the fall), that you consider giving financial support to their family as they adjust to this new reality.
We know Joe has already been received with countless graces by our Lord and that Sabra, Adam, Sophia and Brendan will carry on his good works here on earth, but in this moment, let's return to them a small part of the good works they have given to others.
God bless you for hearing the call to help this family so deserving of your love and support.
Sincerely,
Ray Walshe (Joe's cousin) and Jamie Hamilton (Joe's brother)
P.S. If you would like to honor the charities Joe gave so much of himself to, please consider a direct gift to the following charities:
The New York Catholic Worker, 36 East 1st Street, NY, NY 10003 (no website, they accept check donations by mail)
Friends of San Lucas Toliman, Guatemala at www.sanlucasmission.org
P.P.S.
If you would like to donate to Brendan's schooling expenses specifically, you can do so at the following site:

Brendan's code: P4Q-54J
This helps Brendan's education through a tax sheltered 529 plan so Sabra doesn't incur the same tax obligations that unrestricted donations have.
